Noodlepark Autumn/Winter 2009 Young/Fresh Italian brand Noodlepark showcases a few items from the Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. Pictured are 4 amazing jacket. (Product commented on clockwise) Windreaker Jacket - Coach style windbreaker with nylon coil contrast zipper taping. This style is very basic but it may be the color and basic seam detail that makes it 10x better. Khaki Jacket- To me this jacket resembles a Members Only just with a much more sophisticated silhouette. Chest flap w/ button adds a nice twist along with slated opposite chest zipper. Motorcycle Nylon Jacket - Not quite sure it this jacket is made out of nylon but it’s a great idea. It mixes the styling of a motorcycle (leather jacket) double breasted detail with fabrication of wind breaker. Pea Coat Jacket - I don’t really need this, living in So. Cal and all but my readers from East Coast or anywhere that rains can appreciate this style. source

Jason Schwartzman “Bored to Death” | shotguneddie Edition #3 & #4 I finally managed to turn some friends into “Bored to Death” followers/watchers. Sundays episode showed Jonathan’s development into a full blow “danger around the corner” detective. He also managed to make $200, that’s a start. Here’s a new Jonathan Ames ”unlicensed detective” outfit I put together for episode 3 and 4. Bonus quotes: “Brooklin is the new Manhattan.” “After the age of 55 it is impossible to change.” “Plutonic love note? What is that?” “I was doing it in the name of love.” “Do I look youthful?” “I’m huge and under used.” “Women need us to be commanding and decisive.” View outfit #1, #2.

Obey Clothing x Levi’s Collaboration I’m a big fan of Obey clothing but some of the latest product they’ve pushed have been mediocre. A few weeks ago Obey gave us a teaser of the Levi’s collaboration but full press release has now been announced along with collection images. The collaboration has a few tees, woven shirts, bandana, a denim jacket and of course denim. The denim jacket pictured above is by far my favorite. Not only does the design give you a vintage denim jacket feel but the signature Obey jersey hood. The distress points on the denim are right on point without over doing. View full press release here and full collection pieces here. source

f-troupe Hiking Boots I wouldn’t consider these hiking boots “ready to wear” but you can appreciate the unique design. A few details to note is leather detail at back, metal shoe string eyelets and 2 tone shoe lace. See other f-troupe post here. Shoes are available to buy here for $212.

Shake Appeal 2009 Fall/Winter Collection New brand Shake Appeal has a few interesting pieces for Fall/Winter 2009. Note the stomach piecing with a landscaped mountain graphic. The folded up denim looks good but the way the model is wearing the scarf is a joke. Here’s an example of the nautical stripe colors i’m feeling for Fall. 2 color stripes, easy, basic and dark. view other images of the collection here. source

Opening Ceremony 2010 Spring Collection When visiting Opening Ceremony L.A store I always head for the shoes section first. The clothes is usually to expensive but still nice and informative to look at. I’m really into the nautical stripe right now. Not necessarily natural/red stripes but darker colored stripes for Fall. I can live without the sleeve patches but the chest pocket is a nice addition. The cardigan is just ok but had to put it up. Why? well it’s a cardigan. source

Nigel Cabourn | End Clothing Nigel Cabourn Odell Mackintosh Jacket A ton of details to point out on this jacket. Note the metal lock ups at center front, cuff snaps, arm pit eyelets and chunky ribs. The chunky rib is always a nice addition to a waterproof jacket. Nigel Cabourn Checked Military Over Shirt This tartan wool shirt is always perfect for Fall. This shirt is a bit unique only showing the white section of the plaid in selected areas. The double chest pockets and black buttons are great accents to help the shirt. Nigel Cabourn Everest Shawl-Collar Knit Sweater I’m really feeling this Christmas sweater pattern For this upcoming Fall / Holiday season. The shawl collar detail is a bit overdone, crew neck would of been the way to go. Nigel Cabourn Somervell Canvas Jacket This canvas jacket resembles that of the famous Barracuda silhouette. The exterior fabric seems a bit shinny for me but I can appreciate the leather zipper pull and oversized button accent. All items available to purchase here.

Ralph Lauren Leather Slider Card Case A wallet isn’t something I purchase often so when I do buy one I make sure it has the following points: fine quality leather, maker, vertical opening (not a deal breaker if it’s horizontal). This Ralph Lauren Slider is clearly not a wallet but a great alternative to a wallet. It’s made out of fine Italian calfskin leather with sterling silver trim. Amazing wallet but it’s going to cost you $395. Buy here. source
