Bape X Undefeated

You know I've always been an advocate for two piece everything but Bape and Undefeated have got that one step further with a three piece everything number....

GORE-TEX®

A couple of weeks ago we passed through a little GORE-TEX® event, to learn a bit about the technical qualities of GORE-TEX® as well as to see how some of the top Japanese and Italian labels in the business are utilising GORE-TEX® within contemporary menswear.  It was pretty interesting to see how brands such as Beams, White Mountaineering, BAPE and Visvim had managed to make suedes, corduroys and Harris-Tweed all waterproof.  Also on show were products by the likes of Barbour, Stone Island and Arc'teryx Veilance.  As you can imagine these pieces are pricey but would all prove a worthy investment and will last a lifetime such is the nature of GORE-TEX®.  Tested in some pretty serious conditions and in heavy duty laboratories, Gore are known predominantly in the rambling and golfing worlds for keeping the warmth in and the rain out. But those familiar with 90s Indie bands will have seen many a band in a Gore labeled Berghaus jacket.

Misterlego's A Number of Names Christmas Gift Guide

A couple of weeks ago, my extended family over at A Number Of Names asked me to hand pick a selection of my favorite pieces from some of their brands, for a Christmas gift guide.
It secretly turned into a "what does misterlego want underneath his Christmas tree" thing. Leggggggggoooo.

BAPE - Bape X Mackintosh Coat
Mackintosh have a rich history of producing coats. From their humble beginnings in Glasgow all the way back in 1823, they have become the undisputed kings of the rain coat. With that said, them teaming up with Bape was a big surprise to me but a very warm welcomed one.

BAPE - Bapex
I actually bought this watch a couple months back already, and literary forgot all about my other ones. The colour contrast of the orange and brown is what does it for me. I would be more than happy to get another one preferably this one > > > (click).

ICE CREAM - Waffle Cone Embroidery Chinos
I like these chinos a lot. Taking inspiration from Ralph's allover embroidered crested chinos. The ice cream twist on these ones, serves as a nice alternative.
The cut looks a little funky to me, but that's nothing which can't be amended by a tailor.

Gourmet Sneakers - Quadici
Personally one of my favorite silhouettes out of the "newer" sneakers on today's market.
The durability of these kicks are absurd, come rain or sunshine these bad boys hold up. (my personal favorite colourway is the s/s 2011 summer canary yellow)

Bape - Metalic leather key holder.
I'm a sucker for any sort of Bape accessory.

BAPE - Varsity jacket ebbets field x Bape
You can never go wrong with a Bape varsity, they've pretty much become staples. Pull one out 2, 3, 4 years down the line and you'll still be breaking necks on road side.
This particular one is a collaboration piece with american Ebbets field.

BAPE - Milo be@rbrick super alloys

Like is said earlier I'm a sucker for Bape accessories and this particular be@rbrick collaboration would sit perfectly at the end of my bedroom desk.

Human Made - Patch Jacket

I dig this jacket. Would be better if the patches were velcro.
Human Made is the brand, Nigo is the man.
