Woolrich Woolen Mills Carlsbad Windsor Poplin

Daiki Suzuki is a mastermind when it comes to producing some of the best menswear in the industry.  It’s fascinating to see  Woolrich Woolen Mills collections as every piece is just as impressive as the next and extremely tempting. 

One of my favorites in the new spring/summer 2010 collection is the Carlsbad Windsor Poplin.  The jacket is contrasted with blue shoulder yolk cut on the top and beige cotton poplin below the chest.  Detailing includes two large front press-stud pockets, one inside zip pocket, adjustable cuffs and a drawstring hood with really nice leather toggles to enhance visual appeal. 

For Woolrich Woolen Mills and Daiki Suzuki it’s all about being aware of the tradition and creating unique but functional outerwear, which is why we enjoy each collection so much.  Be sure to check out the rest of the spring/summer 2010 collection on their website.

Penfield ‘Grafton’ Bermuda Shorts

You can’t have a casual leisure shirt such as the Gitman Anchor short sleeve without a good looking pair of high quality shorts.  Yes my excitement for the upcoming spring/summer season continues and Penfield’s ‘Grafton’ bermuda shorts is a big part of that.  The classic knee length shorts is made with striped oxford cotton, feature a zip fly, 2 front pockets, 2 button down back pockets, and a draw string around the inside of the waist.  These are absolutely essential for enjoying the warm weather months.

We all work hard these days and often find ourselves striving for a bit of leisure in our lives.  When we do find that spare time to sit back and relax, it’s important to be wearing comfortable clothing that suggests that we are enjoying life to the fullest and nothing is going to stop us from our moment.  Normally known for their superior dress shirts, Gitman Vintage has produced a white short sleeve button down shirt with a fun anchor pattern for the days out on the sailboat or at a summer BBQ with friends and family.

White Mountaineering Pullover Hood Shirt

white_mountaineering_pullover_hood

At first glance everything about this makes you think it looks really nice parka (0r I could be the only one).  It’s actually a hooded pullover shirt designed by Japanese label, White Mountaineering.  Much of their brand focuses on design, utility, and technology to create outdoor clothing collections from top to bottom layers.  I think it is a clever and unique looking hooded pullover perfect for the spring or fall.  Even though it may look like a parka we can promise it’s made with a lightweight cotton fabric.

Available @:  Knockout
