You better bet your ass you will need a down filled vest for the winter. The toggles over the zipper center front closure is a nice touch, along with that brown leather back yoke.

CAP: PHRESHCRU Westside Snapback - $30

I own a few pieces from @Phreshcru, mainly the hats that read “Westside”. They are contemporary in style and are made with tremendous quality. It is not your average snapback, the stitching is heavy and the hat has a solid weight to it. The company also boasts graphic designs on t-shirts and sweatshirts. To date their “YSL Tribute” pieces have been a best seller. Phreshcru has been progressive in their drops and I can’t wait to see what they cook up for the Fall. For now, head to the site and pick up a hat or two, while they’re available. USE CODE “CRU” for a 15% discount!

PACK: Herschel Settlement Backpack - $50

I have this backpack in Grey. This thing is awesome, it doesn’t look too serious but is classy enough to take to the office. Get ready for compliments! It’s durable, simple but has some pop due to the gold zippers. Pick it up!

HOODIE: Altamont El Barrio Pullover - $65

I have been in the market for a poncho for quite some time and haven't pulled the trigger because all I can find are patterned ones. Finally a solid color poncho with solid details.

JACKET: Comune Gabe Military Jacket - $168

Great mix of light weight and heavy weight fabric, making it versatile for the winter time. I dig the brown and black color combo. This is the right choice with a pair of raw denim.
