Billy Reid Sweaters
I’m not familiar with the Billy Reid brand but the sweaters are a o kay. Heavy gauge knitting with fall-ish earth tones and grandpa looking buttons. Take a look at the rest of the collection, highly inspirational.

THe Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac
My dad was kind enough to get me the NBA League Pass for the 2009-2010 season and man oh man is it great. The only complain I have is that all the games are in SD quality, no HD. I get to watch all the Rockets game (Ariza fan here), all the Cavs games and even the KD35 games.
Bobby was kind enough to let me borrow the Freedarko, The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac and I’ve been hooked. The illustrations are amazing, graphs, statistics and player anatomy make you feel like a huge geek.





Highly Recoomend this book for NBA fans.
Buy here.

Shotguneddie WANTS | Wings + Horns
Canadian based brand Wings + Horns continues to impress me. Pictured above are a few new/old styles for Fall 2009. The heathered hoodie is an update to a previously released style just now with a hood. The shawl collar silhouette continues to show up in collections. My favorite is the quilted chambray jacket, perfect for the cold weather.

RCA Vintage Television | Made in the U.S.A
For the past few months I’ve been thinking about buying a television for my bedroom. I looked at a few HD monitors and HD TV’s but nothing caught my eye considering my budget. I took a trip down to my local thrift store and this RCA black/white television caught my eye.


I did my research and it’s some of the last televisions that were manufactured by RCA in the United States (c.1980), score.

Lacoste Cerberus S 
I’m a big fan of vintage court low sneakers. I own a few Nikes but the newly release  Lacoste Cerberus S are looking very good. Premium leather, Flat front toe cap and one solid color all around the sneaker. I might need to the Cerberus S since I can’t seem to save up for the Common Projects Court Low.
The Cerberus S will be available at select Lacoste stockists across South East Asia from November ‘09.

Ray-Ban RB4141
After losing my first pair or Ray-Ban Sunglasses I promised myself I would take better care of the new pair. Luckily I’ve managed to take care of the new pair and they are even in mint condition (means a lot). If you are looking for the next iteration of the Wayfarer without having to sacrifice brand the RB4141 is a decent option.
Purchase the RB4141 here for $130

A.P.C | Tres Bien Shop
Two Button Boy Jacket - 
I keep hearing great things about this boiled wool fabrication but not completely sold. It seems fairly fragile but If I was a teacher this is the type of jacket I would wear.
Casual Jacket - 
This A.P.C jacket is just that, basic. It features inside collar corduroy fabrication with a wool exterior. Perfect for the Fall/Winter season.
Plaid Shirt - 
Pink is definitely not my color but I can appreciate this a great looking shirt. I don’t personally own any A.P.C shirts but if i’ve tried some on and the fit is right on point. Does that count?
New Standard Washed - 
This wash was offered in the Petit Standard fit last season (spring/summer) and for Fall/Winter it has made it’s way to the New Standard fit. I’m personally a fan of the Petit Standard but just showing these for the light wash.

shotguneddie WANTS | Engineered Garments Edition
Windowpane Tweed Briefcase -
This Engineered Garments bag might not be durable enough to keep your notebook safe but it sure looks fancy. The tweed is a nice change from the over saturation of nylon and leather bags. The only down side is that the shoulder strap is made out of nylon webbing, leather would’ve been nice.
Orange Plaid Flannel Scarf -
It’s hard for me to wear flannel shirts.. I just feel really bright wearing them. With Fall / Winter right around the corner it would be nice to add color with a scarf instead of a flannel shirt. 
Note both Engineered Garment products shown are designed and manufacture in New York. Viva the “hand crafted in USA” revival!

Gregory Packs | End Clothing
Who needs Arc’teryx when Gregory has some of the best looking Packs in the market? End Clothing updated the product offering with these new Day Packs and duffle bags. The Navy/Oatmeal day pack has an interesting vintage look but with a modern take, definitely my favorite.
I won’t be replacing my Gregory Long Haul Duffle anytime soon but if you are looking for a more affordable duffle this is a great option.
