Manitobah Mukluks | Part 2

Vincent — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:39:30 +0000

Aside from the aboriginal artists performing their handcraft, the Manitobah Mukluks company also has a manufacturing HQ in the outskirts of downtown Winnipeg. The building houses the company’s management team and shoe-makers. It is an odd feeling to be so patriotic, but boy do I feel proud to say that Manitobah is 100% Canadian made. Manitobah Mukluks seems to have found the perfect formula in making The Ultimate Canadian boot; with the upper being a tribute to the Canadian Aborignal boot and the bottom being a true testament to weatherproof technical footwear, it is obvious to say that this boot will be warm and ideal to face Canadian winters. That’s right, they’ve incorporated vibram soles to their mukluks, something you don’t see from other “moc-makers”.

One of the highlights of our visit was meeting the employees manning the sewing machines in the factory. There was such a minute attention to every little task they performed, that their pride in working for such a community invested company was more than evident…

I wanna thank Sean for having us in Winnipeg and sharing a very personal side of his company with us. This was easily one of the most eye-opening trips I’ve had the pleasure of going on. A little video recap in a few days.

My buddy Adam started a new content based website (IAMPACKED.com)… not exactly breaking new grounds. Geared toward travelers, it’s more of a refreshing twist to the “whats in my bag” flux. It’s nice to see what people like mr. Gibbs and mr. Marshal pack as their travel essentials. Go submit!

Here’s my submission:

Mr. Black made me fall in love with M+G’s Cannabis perfumery. I had to pick up the candle after trying the perfume oil. This thing is addictive to say the least. I strongly suggest exploring all their other scents… the Rum body wash is an essential as well, I’ve been using it since testing it out at the Soho and Tribeca Grand hotels.

Justin suggested I frame it, It was a good idea. When I got the call, it was like draft day for rookies. “Welcome to the big leagues son.” *pats shoulder*

The journey inside Stone Island begins.

Carlo Rivetti opens the doors of the headquarters of Sportswear Company in Ravarino, where his brand Stone Island is thought and takes life.

A first general recognition where Carlo Rivetti reveals the philosophy of a company that has always been founded on research and experimentation. Where what is revealed is the passion and the deep know how that turn ideas and visions into garments and collections that are always innovative and in the vanguard.What follows is a serialised story, where an indiscreet camera records, without any secret, the testimonies of the people involved and all the places in which the product is created

3sixteen | Welcome to level +

I got a nice package today from my friends at 3sixteen! Boxed up was a pair of their latest denim offering. 3sixteen+ is the NY brand’s japanese selvedge project in coalition with Self Edge. Big ups to johan and andrew.

“The 10BSP jean from 3sixteen+ is a great straight leg fit jean made up of a rope dyed indigo selvedge denim which is woven in Japan.

The denim on these jeans start out as a deep indigo color with a considerable amount of vertical falling that’s visible even when the denim is raw. Due to the rigid feel of this denim the jean’s color will fade to a bright indigo shade over parts of heavy stress or abrasion with normal wear.

—

Taking the Japanese ideology of leaving no detail untouched these two entities have come together to create a line which brings the Japanese otaku of denim and classic American styles to the western world. 3sixteen+ are working closely with small Japanese mills to create new denim and fabrics for these projects.”
