JT PICKS: Triumvir and 10 Deep

Justin sent these over for me to post and how did I have a feeling he was going to make sure we posted the 10 Deep Paddington Plus Toggle Hoody. I was definitely eyeing this and good thing he brought this up again.

55DSL x adidas Originals: Experience Enhancer Device T-shirts

Looks like 55DSL and adidas Originals are at it again. In addition to bringing you 15 years of awesomeness via the XV/55 limited edition sneaker, they are also introducing five t-shirts with cutting edge graphics that will blow your mind! As part of the Experience Enhancer Device project, each t-shirt represents one of the five themes of the project. Each graphic, drawing inspiration from graffiti, pop art and urban attitude, tells an irreverent and cheeky tale.



Theme: Music
Graphic: A skull
What it says: I live for concerts and parties, guitars, beer and cigarettes. I love long hair, heavy metal and catching drumsticks that are thrown into the audience after a performance. Long live rock ‘n’ roll!

Theme: Hot
Graphic: A banana
What it says: All eyes are on me when I walk into the room. I'm so hot even the banana on my t-shirt wants to get undressed. Don't slip me your phone number on a cocktail napkin, that's so lame. But maybe if you're lucky we'll make out later.

Theme: Actions
Graphic: An eyeball
What it says: I’m the king of kick flips and McTwists. I rule the half pipes and snowparks when I’m not getting kicked out of the mall by security guards.

Theme: Pranks
Graphic: A telephone
What it says: I spend my free time prank calling my best friend, and causing trouble and getting away with it…most of the time.

Theme: Arts
Graphic: A tube of paint
What it says: I tag as a way to get my message across. Ink, spray paint, pencils and brushes are my modes of communication. I’m a DIY’er and make ironic t-shirts and personalize all my items of clothing, new and old. I stand apart from the crowd.

JACKETS: Five Four Winter Jackets

Five Four Winter jackets recently hit their online store and these are their best yet. They are loaded with details as usual. I like the contrast placket piping on the Clinton, plus the asymmetric center front closure is also a nice design choice. My other favorites are the Duke M-65 style jacket and the Kennedy which is so classic.

Congrats to Dee and Andres on the new Century City store opening.

JACKET: Orisue Landers Military Peacoat - $140

Orisue's Landers Military Peacoat has to be on the BLACK Friday list because I am a sucker for details. I like the waist construction with the front tabs, the fact that it is cropped for a more athletic fit and the front zipper closure giving you multiple ways to wear the jacket.

JACKET: Triumvir The Hospitaller M-65 Jacket - $180

You better believe that I was going to put the Triumvir Hospitaller M-65 Jacket on the BLACK Friday list. There is something about the 3 snap button collar that makes it different from the rest. Plus I really like the "Hell is for Heroes" patch detail on the shoulders.

TIME PIECE: Flud Silver Big Ben Wacth with Interchangeable Bands - $90

So I am in the office today and looking over some good Friday buys being that it is BLACK Friday and all. Came upon the new installment of the Flud Big Ben Watch with interchaneable bands and have the say the assortment that Doug presents here is quality. First off I like the navy band with the contrast white stitching cause it looks rich and then the adjustable metal band is fire.

SWEATER: Cheap Monday Avon Sweater - $76

Despite the akward position of the models head, this sweater is pretty solid. What stands out is the neck construction. It is nothing totally new, but the technical construction adds a rich look to it, not to mention the grey melange fabric also makes it look comfortable yet rugged. Throw this over a plain white tee and jeans on a colder day and you are set. The one thing this could use are some welt pockets.

Oh what a glorious day leading up to thanksgiving. What can I be thankful for? A job in this difficult economy, my family, and 10 Deep's winter line.

CAPS: King Stampede Operator Snap Back - $30

First of all congrats to the Boundless NY crew for their new store opening on Hudson St. I had a chance to visit their Williamsburg location when I was in NY this past May and they have a solid setup and a great mix of goods.

They just posted Kind Stampede's Holiday 1 delivery. I like this snap back not only for the workman pinstripe used here but the bold red stripe hit on the crown.

TEES: Freshjive - Hope is Fading Fast Tee

This is going to be the top of discussion on many blogs and rightfully so. Personally I believe that their needs to be a stir among the community to some how reignite the focus of what was once there prior to the election results. I also believe there has been a bit of a lull as many supporters were thankful to see Obama enter office and have now been playing a waiting game. Klotz is pushing accountability that everyone should be seeking no matter who is in office.

The tee is a reflection of this post in Freshjives' "The World's Got Problems". Read more: http://www.freshjive.com/theworldsgotproblems/2/emperor-obama/98/continuities-5

Triumvir Winter "Hell is for Heroes"

Triumvir just dropped their Winter Collection "Hell is for Heroes" in their online store. Here are some of our favorite pieces and both outerwear jackets from this collection are fire. The M-65 jacket has a sweet 3 snap button collar and some nice patch detailing. The Panzerdivision Jacket is something you don't normally see and leave it to Triumvir to think outside the box. Plus the quilted lining in both jackets is a nice addition too.
