Penfield 2011 Spring/Summer Lookbook

Penfield, who are known for making outdoor garments, that will stand the test of time and unpleasant weather, have just released their Lookbook for the upcoming season. I am feeling a lot of the pieces displayed below, although I am yet to purchase some of their stuff on these shores, I think I preferred the Euro conversion rate, whilst out in Dam.

C'est Magnifique

A lot of  you probably won't know and will not care but Nike are now the official kit sponsors of the French Football Federation, which basically means it they (Nike) and not Adidas will sponsor the football team. Adidas had sponsored the French Football team for 40 years.

That being said, the reason for posting, is the NSW French Football Federation collection. Some of the pieces are superb, well at least to me anyway. I have long had an affair with French football for years, Paris Saint-Germain and their great Nike kits, large of pool of unfairly skilful players and the crazy excitement of Ligue 1.  Seeing the FFF, along with NSW just does it for me. Check the pics below.

NSW - Destroy To Create

Nike Sportswear recently held an event at 1948, in celebration of a new series of the Destroyer Jacket. On display, were previous jackets from older collections, work by the likes of Mike Cavendish x Duffy and I Have Pop to name a few names. There was free booze, a boxing ring, for some surreal boxing match with two female boxers. It wasn't weird because the brawlers were females but because it had just followed a mental moshpit in the ring, minutes before. Ohio native, Stalley performed as well. Nate and Blackstar were in attendance with me on this occasion.

Peep the pics below.

Ichiban Autumn/ Winter 2010 Tees

UK streetwear brand Ichiban have just showcased their new AW 10 collection of crewnecks and T-shirts. The four designs are all available in the colours of black, grey, white and red. I personally am in favour of the Bonafide Hustler Design and the Marlboro inspired Increase Your Rep design.

The range is available now from 5 Pointz.

Out And About

This past Friday, myself along with the boy Nate and some cool friends of his, hit up some events. We were present at Nike Reset 4, where streetwear brands such as Trapster, Benjart and ATG were showcasing fresh pieces obviously alongside the brand Bill Bowerman built, the Just Do It peeps, if you were not in the know. Also passed through some kind of event at G-Shock in Shoreditch, then ended up at the King Sample Sale in Brick Lane, where we met some nice folk, especially my guy Dan who gave me a nice deal. The pics for your eyes are to feast on are located below. Forgive the cam quality, flicks were taken on a BlackBerry.

5 Things I Am Dealing With Right Now

#1. 2010 FIFA World Cup. Watching three games a day is a lot of stuff, especially when a certain day has some decent games scheduled, my whole day is gone. Still will keep watching near enough every game. I love the game too much.

#2. Moving back to London. Packing is long, and I have a lot of clothes and memories in Colchester. I always dread this procedure. But now its for good as well. Tense.

#3. Buying clothes. Haven't popped any tags since March 1st, don't know about you but to me that is too long of a time to go without new threads. Second Son and Trapstar, I see you.

#4. The Wonderful World of Retail. I have to pay the bills somehow and will have way too much time on my hands, so will be doing some more hours.

#5. A lot of new music to listen to, especially Pilot Talk.

ONETrueSaxon Pop-Up Shop

British clothing label, One True Saxon is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year and are pulling out all the stops to celebrate. To mark this landmark, they are opening a pop-up shop in Bloomsbury, London, and for a limited time of 6 months. Afer the palaver and hoopla caused from these exams, I will try and head down there myself for some quality and hearty stuff, at reasonable prices. Maybe not 'Primark reasonable' - but Polo by Ralph Lauren reasonable.

Address of Store.
47 Lambs Conduit St, Wc1N 3NG

See you there.

Topman Vs ASOS

Even though Summer is just around the corner, that doesn't stop me from doing the same sort of shopping browsing I do all year round. I know you might be thinking, why would I be looking to wear sweaters during the sunny season? 


They will keep you cool and we can't jump the gun and start thinking we live in L.A. Ladies about to pull out the gladiators sandals, vest tops, skirt and straw hat with an umbrella, after a single ray of sunshine, I am looking in your direction. Anyway I've been looking at what Topman and ASOS have to offer in terms of crew necks. Here are my favourites. First up, ASOS:

Spring 2010 Delivery

Just yesterday on their blog, Crooks & Castles showcased the items that did not make an appearance in their new lookbook. Said to be available at your nearest Crooks's retalilers, as of now! Not really feeling the shorts though. No par intended.

... 'But They Look Like Sneakers'

A new season of Vans shoes from the 2010 Spring Line have just popped up. Since Vans are definitely are the new kids on the block, when it comes to kicks, I thought I would share. Here are some of the more interesting pieces from the shoe line and the clothing line. 

Don't tell me I don't look out for you lot. Courtesy of Urban Industry.

My Latest Ish.

Music-

Haven't really downloaded a new mixtape yet this year, but I have been bumping Curren$y of Wiz Khalifa's collaborative mixtape, 'How Fly'. Hailing from New Orleans and Pittsburgh respectively, these two just rap about smoking, how fly they are and their preference in women, as well as their travel exploits, over laid-back smooth beats. Look out for these two.

Assignments-

Yeah they are still there. Trust. Waiting for watermarking is not the one.

Clothes-

Baseball/Letterman Jackets- Carharrt, holler at me. Would let you advertise for free. No lie. Hey Nu Carharrt World, new name coming soon!

Tees- My addiction to Lacoste, has well and truly returned. No. 10 Size 3 Polo, almost here.

All I Want For Christmas..

Since I like posting my shortlists or lists of any kind really, here is my Christmas wishlist, all my one-way Secret Santas look carefully.

Remember I was talking about a denim shirt time ago, still havent' found one. Well I still haven't found one and money is low, but you get the drift. One like this, will do just fine.

The Office Season 3 on DVD. Probably my favourite show on television along with Scrubs and Football Tonight on Sky Sports News. Every year, myself and HMV have an agreement in place where they supply with me a new series, only trouble, I still have to pay.

For my beloved Arsenal to shoot up the table and be as close as possible to the Premier League leaders. If we are top come New Year's day, I won't need any of the other present.

To have gone back in time, on been on the set of the Young Money 'Bed Rock' video. Looks like a lot of stuff.
