Denimaniac has some lookbook images from the Woolrich Woolen Mills Spring/Summer 2010 collection up and many of the outfits are similar to the ones they had at their Pitti presentation last year. This season’s theme is not really my thing, but there are a few items in there that interest me.

Blanket jackets saw some popularity this current season among the indie fashion crowd, with designers making them for both men and women. Krane for example, used blankets from Hudson’s Bay Company quite extensively and even created a special jacket for them using one of their grey/black patterns. Ralph Lauren had one too, and Opening Ceremony made some crazy ones from Pendleton fabrics. They’re not something I’d personally wear, but I do enjoy the history behind them.

RRL puts out some really odd stuff sometimes, and typically is only sought after by collectors. Today’s find, a bizarre denim peacoat.
Scans taken various issues of 2nd. While fun, most of these outfits are actually quite bad, and they’re almost all try hard or a combination of things that do not go together. On these guys though, it’s somehow cool. A fair isle sweater, cargo pants, and bright New Balance sneakers? Sure, why not. Hiking boots, dress pants, and a denim jacket? F’yeah!
Also called galoshes by some. This period of the year tends to bring lots of rain to Seattle, and is usually when I pull out my SWIMS. They work well enough in protecting my shoes, and the insides are lined with a soft material that helps with taking them on and off. Allen Edmonds sells them on their site for just under $100 which is not too bad, versus other places that sell them for around $130. I would also recommend following Allen Edmonds sizing advice for these (a size 12US should get XXL for example).
John Lobb Paris sells some fancy overshoes as well, but are ridiculously expensive at 120GBP or so for a pair.
Yellow seems like it would be a fun color to get, but it also feels like a slippery slope down a dandy path that I’d rather not go.
Victim has also just started to update their website with their Spring/Summer 2010 line and it’s really just a continuation of what they already do well: basic military and workwear inspired goods. The two standouts are the vintage denim overalls and the military watch, and they’re also including Paraboot made boatshoes.
Breaking them out for New Years!
