ON & BEYOND

While it is no secret that the classic Varsity Jacket has gone full fashion cycle by resurfacing for this early holiday (paralleled by the resurrection of cargo pants), consumers like myself are still looking for a well-tailored and slim fitted varsity as opposed to the wide arm opening ones we’ve been used to seeing at college football games. Military bottoms are a whole other quandary, so I’ll save that rant for next time. Now, for those who are still stuck in the middle, bewildered by their love for military attire yet still looking to jump on the varsity sail before it sets, Nike Sportswear have come up with an answer called the V65 by combining aesthetic features from the Varsity with technical assortments from the M65. The jacket is composed of an m65-esque melton body featuring four frontal pockets and a zippered collar which extends to white leather varsity sleeves. This hybrid coat is now available @ Honeyee for approx. $560

Kinda stole this idea from Johnny. At least I’m admitting to it. Here’s my little shop guide for the snow season. Had to switch up the wardrobe a little this weekend because of the amount of snow and wind outside, so here are, for me, some essentiels pour l’hiver (winter must-have’s, you fucking blokes) Oh and p.s. to all you hypebeasts reading my blog, I know you do, Don’t give me shit about brand synergy…This isn’t an ensemble. PEACE

Oh, one more thing, I tend to use my ipod alot in winter because it’s so gloomy outside, here’s a mix to top off everything, you are welcomed: J rocc – Syndromes 2

one.

I have been shaving my hair since the 7th grade and trust me, it gets cold up there. Cashmere for my head please. Can’t half step on your scarf game, never know when you might need to wrap it around your main squeeze to impress her.

two.

I don’t give a shit, Oxfords are all year-round, I’ll wear that shit to sleep. “Thomas Pink. They make shirts. UK shit. Butter.”-Paul 107. And if you are on a financial slope, then L.L.Bean. Period.

three.

Shawl collars for the win this year. It’s the perfect alternative to the ever so homo turtle necks. W+H and Maiden Noir. Canadian cotton and Japanese cotton only

four.

Take your peacoat, throw it back into your closet and wait til march. Feathers > Wool

five.

You gotta have chinos to go with an oxford, that’s just how it works. It’s like having mashed potato’s with a steak. Beer with pizza. Cheese in a burger. I could go on for ages…

six.

You knew I would suggest a pair of Redwings. I still don’t know if I’m down with the little tongue flap coming on to the toe cap on those Vendor Boots…But that wheat color is just bananas with the royal blue laces.
