KARMALOOP TV: The Buyer Wire - OBEY FALL

Get all the info you need on the OBEY Fall line. I like the new way they shot this with the b/w video of Red Foxx in the clothes while you get all of the details on each featured piece. We got 3 of the pieces on this buyer wire posted once the Fall line went live on Karmaloop; The Rapture Jacket, The Hometown buttondown, and The Black Sheep Cardigan.


KICKS: Crooks and Castles Footwear

What the farts? Crooks is stepping into footwear? If it is anything like the pieces they currently pump out these kicks are going to be clean, comfortable, and mean. Take a look below, there are four styles to cover all profiles and tastes. They got a plimsoll, a high top, a low profile sneak, and a chukka. I can see where they drew inspiration from and with that they added their C&C ingenuity.

WOVEN: 10 Deep The Journeyman Utility Buttondown Shirt - $80

Here is a solid non-plaid alternative for Fall. As you all may know I am getting a bit tired of plaid, so when I find an alternative that is solid I have to post it up. All though you may think, damn what is with all of the pockets, the pockets add detail and value. A plain woven is just plain, but the pockets add character and makes it a utility shirt. I have to say the back kanga pockets are a true revelation.

HOODY: 10 Deep The Big 10 Utility Zip Hoody - $96

This hoody has comfort and all of the pockets you could want. 10 Deep just loads up the detail but it never seems too much. I downloaded the Donnis mixtape and really need to listen to it.

CREW: Cheap Monday David Sweater - $57

Crewnecks are a big focus going into BTS and Fall. I am posting all the ones that I can find that need to be picked up. I like the raglan body here, which makes it less cookie cutter, plus the fabric is real nice.

HOODY: VOLCOM MEN'S DUB SLIM FLEECE JACKET - $72

Volcom put together a nice military inspired, double-breasted hoody for Fall. I like the welt pockets to give it a bit of an outerwear feel and the antique engraved buttons.

HOODY: Orisue The Kelsey Pullover - $88

Orisue Fall 09 drops on Karmaloop and we have our eye on the Kelsey Pullover because of the placket and the front chest pocket. It's the little details from the crew that makes it so good.

L-R-G x OAKLEY A FRAME Goggle Limited Edition

LRG and Oakley teamed up on a limited A FRAME goggle for the upcoming winter season. I like how LRG was able to make this their own with their true to form package design and basically taking the best goggle in the industry and doing whatever they wanted to it. This is going to fly off the shelves.

For detailed specs: The L-R-G x Oakley A Frame Purple goggle features L-R-G Interlocking Trees all-over printed on the frame and the L-R-G logo is laser-engraved on the lower corner of the Black Iridium® lens. The L-R-G x Oakley A Frame Black goggle gets a mirror polished black frame finish combined with a special Gold Iridium® lens, featuring an innovative etching technique that adds the L-R-G landscape detail across the entire lower edge of the lens. This model will also include an additional replacement lens with the smaller L-R-G logo laser-engraved in lower corner. Both L-R-G designed editions are coordinated with matching straps bearing L-R-G x Oakley logos on opposite sides.


JACKET: Heritage 1981 Herringbone Crinkle Blazer - $50

This is not your everyday herringbone blazer for fall. It has a nice sleek fit with a crinkled finish. You can dress it up or down, with a vneck tee or shirt and tie. You will need a herringbone jacket in your closet for Fall and this is it.

Orisue Fall Look Book

Orisue pays tribute to their local surroundings with interpretations of the ducks logo on pieces like the Roderick Cord Jacket. Orisue continues its technical details on all of it's outerwear pieces as well as their use of mulitple fabrics from nylon, to jersey, to coded cotton. I also like their uneven botton placement on the placket of the Sebastian woven.

I am eyeing the Kelsey Hoodie because of the construction of the left chest pocket and the placket detail. The crew is always changing things up.

10 DEEP Fall Look Book

Take a look at the 10 Deep Fall Look book. Again 10 Deep has pieces loaded with details on hoodies and patches galore on their letterman jackets. Take a look for yourself, you will be impressed.

This hoodie is what I am keeping my eye on. That deck is nice too.

Solid crew from RVCA, everyone needs a grey heather crew. The collegiate logo hit on the upper left chest goes well with the all around color hit. Too bad it doesn't have welt pockets.

Peeped this on Sneaker Freaker. PF Flyers releases some funky brushed suede mids. I Like the retro feel and strong colors.


BUYER WIRE: LRG

Dennis T goes over the new LRG container collection that just dropped on Karmaloop. I have seen the shiny patent collection and it is light weight, sleek, and futuristic. A real nice pick up if you have things to lug around.

WOVEN: OBEY The Hometown Buttondown Shirt - $68

To be honest, I am getting a little tired of plaid. It is everywhere, so much that when you go out with your friends everybody it wearing it and when you take a picture you look like a bunch of farm hands. But you know what, it sells and the Hometown woven is going to fly off the shelves. For fall checker plaid is going to be the ticket item because it is simple, easy to wear, and just two colors. Here you have a great blue paired with black and the other colorway is a strong red with black.
