Mishka shorts
Now that it's time to think about shorts (thank goodness) here's a pair from Mishka that are similar to the Analog ones I picked up at the Burton sample sale yesterday. The real reason to look at the Mishka site though? This music list.
Phil Woods
Phil Woods playing one of my favorite Charlie Parker tunes, talking about Yamahas, sushi and tender soldiers.
The Cast - NYC
OK, so skulls are over, slubby t-shirts might be over, heck, t-shirts at all for me are pretty much over, but still I kinda like this crazy jawless skull shirt from The Cast. As for the striped pants? If I ever become a roadie on a punk tour of Scandinavia, I'll be getting these for the trip. I do hear that the cast store is very cool and worth the trip if in NYC. Some cool photos in their "news" section as well.

Simms Hip Packs
Seeing as we're going to be doing so much fishing this summer, I might have to require one of these as mandatory.

Ma Liang at Photography Now. I really love the timeless look even with the modern settings and modern clothes on the models. Reminds me a lot of the look and feel of Wind Man, not just the wings either . . .

Dieter Rams
Amazing how well that stuff holds up over time, just solid. I figured I'd post it as I've been watching it daily. Good Design 10 Commandments.
Camper Camaleon
Camper Camaleon. Nice to see a little more streamlined sneak from Camper, its like an Israeli desert boot ate a Ked. I really dig the gray/natural rubber combo, although the $95 price tag is probably a deal breaker.

Luke Whitlatch
I had the pleasure of knowing Luke during a couple years of college together, definitely one of the most inherently talented individuals who's crossed my path. More work here.

Red Gold
Really beautiful film about a fishing community in Alaska and their quest to halt a giant copper mine.

Outside the Shoe Box
Man, I tried. I tried really hard. It is really tough these days to find quality goods outside a major US city, or hell even in a major US city. I tried my best to attain a pair of kicks that would really be on par with what I have been conjuring in my mind's eye. These Grensons are just about as close to perfection as I could find, and truthfully they lived up what I had pictured. Amazing craftsmanship, beautiful leather (man that smell was amazing) and just an overall luxurious quality of days gone by. So, I ordered up a pair, waited the 5 weeks it took to get them from the UK after blindly guessing on an approximate size. Of course the size was completely wrong and moreover I guess English brogues are generally made in a wide width that aren't compatible with the feet I've been given. What a bummer, I seriously considered packing them out with newspaper they are that cool.
Sadly, I ended up ordering a pair of RL Barx Boat shoes (I know I swore I wouldn't cave into them) but man they turned out to be actually a really nice looking shoe, great leather, good fit and I got them in less than 24 hours with free shipping and no tax from Endless.com.
Sigh, sometimes handy, is well, handy.
L.L.Bean Trim-Fit Oxford - $29
So from first hand experience, I have to say that this is probably one of the hidden best deals out there right now at a whopping $29. Its trim but not button-bulging tight, super crisp and just generally solid. The fabric is great, wrinkle-resistant (great for our conversation about all those shirts sitting in the basement waiting to be ironed for a year) and looks good dressed up or down. Could be my first step in the right direction to replace t-shirts with real shirts.
DoubleButter I need
A few pieces from DoubleButter that would be great at my house. The Penguin beside the couch in the front room, the Grasshopper for lounging on the porch, and the Crane for proper barstools. All good stuff from good local guys. Check out their new site.
