The new Explorer jackets in the Engineered Garments FW10 collection have shipped out to the few stores that ordered them and I was able to acquire a version in the olive colored ripstop cotton from Blake down in Portland. When I first pulled it out of the box, I was surprised by how heavy it weighs from the interior blanket lining and when worn it feels like armor (as much as cotton and wool can be). Read on to see more details.
One of my new favorite stores: The London Trading Company. Barbour, Purdey, Beretta, and other fine goods all under one roof.
Anarchy in the mountains – pictures of the Fall/Winter 2010 pieces are now showing up online. Some of the accessories look great.
The FW10 collection from Waste(twice) is now getting to Japanese stores and among the standouts are the new packs.
On the left: the mountain sack, a new design produced by Superior Labor. Like the rest of their bags, they’re made from a strong Japanese made canvas.
On the right: a modified version of the new Kelty Mockingbird pack with natural colored leather straps and accents. The regular version of the Mockingbird will be available stateside starting next year.
It’s finally starting to feel like fall in Seattle, and I’ve begun to start rotating in my cold weather clothing. Among my favorite accessories of the season are my vintage inspired J.Crew camp socks, which are made in the USA with heavy cotton and some poly materials for added strength.
I’ve always purchased a few pairs every year since they first introduced them, thinking that it would be good to have backups just in case holes start to develop in my worn pairs, but as of yet none have done so. All they need to do now is to make versions of these in wool.

New up on my-wardrobe.com. Ralph Lauren will occasionally do pieces like this, but not this good. The only change I would make to it would be to add one or two more buttons along the front to balance it out visually.
I’m generally not too interested in Steven Alan’s designs, but his teams do occasionally produce some great stuff that I would consider. For example, these colored parkas.
A 60/40 parka from FUCT. The patches are appropriate.
The blanket lined storm parkas from Engineered Garments. The shell is made from a heavy duty ripstop cotton.
Correction: FUCT is not a Japanese brand, as previously stated in an earlier version of this post. Thanks to Jose R. Mejia for the info.
Filson’s bridle leather belts are among the best on the market, and at just under $50 each they are some of the most affordable. You can get them in any color you want, so long as it is brown with brass hardware.
Still made in the USA.
