LOOK : The Japanese-American Lumberjack

1 ~ Engineered Garments reigns supreme when it comes to knits. This 90% wool cardi is better made than what the eye shows. There are enforced pocket linings so the delicate stitching on the wool doesn’t unravel. 2 ~ The shirt is a corduroy lumberjack plaid by Nom De Guerre, the pearl buttons elevates the [...]

Corter Bracelet : 2 weeks in the making

Eric sent over this bracelet and I got to test out the leather on this bad boy. So far, so good, its starting to soften up real nice on the edges and the veggie tanned leather is darkening beautifully. Eric and I have a little project (still behind closed-doors, for now) that I’m very excited [...]

Friendly Fire: Aura With An M

I’ve known Maura since her days of working at goodfoot in 05- ish. I was merely a prepubescent teenager when she was donning her air max 93′s in my face, always giving me the tip on nikes to hardcore music. And aside from being a fashion editor over at HeartyMagazine she also has one of [...]

A Thoughtful Pair of Chinos

To the naked eye, they may seem like a regular pair of chinos, but through investigative inspection, you may discover a few things that you won’t find elsewhere. Two aspects of this pair of pants were demanding my attention: the herringbone weave twill & the crotch rivet. “What the hell is a crotch rivet?” you [...]

With the main focus on performance and comfort, the Rejuven8′s were first released in 08 for Nike Athletes to wear during the Beijing Olympics.

Friendly Fire : Derived Thread

Johnny F Kim, also known as JFK, has a new website and he posted something you would usually see in TET‘s blog back in 08. The viet war has a permanent place in JFK’s roots, and this is a piece of him that even Erik Brunetti can recognize.

Workspace

I’ve always had an obsession with workspaces. Whether they are messy or not, it’s some sort of voyeuristic love I get when seeing another creative mind’s work table, tools, music, moodboards…I like seeing what other people have on their daily workdesk that may or may not be more inspiring than mine. My own is nothing [...]

Corter by Eric Heins

Since late 2007, Corter Leather has been a one-man operation producing hand-crafted leather goods out of Boston. From setting hardware and dying leather to stitching and braiding, everything has been done by hand. Because no patterns have ever been made, every single piece is the result of hours of hard work which makes every piece [...]
