I love Paris

In typical Spring fashion, the weather has been all over the place recently, and we've had a great piece for whatever it decides to throw at you over the next couple of months. A.P.C. treated us a couple of new pieces this week, and they're in extremely limited numbers so grab them fast whilst they're still available:

A.P.C. Khaki Rucksack - £175



Canvas outer with leather trim, strap and buckle details in the style a typical vintage inspired adventure pack.

A.P.C. Washed Indigo Shirt - £135



Workwear style denim fabric in washed out indigo. The reduced collar means you can wear as many buttons up or down as you like.

It may just be a Parisian thing, but Surface to Air also treated us to a couple of great Spring jackets to fend off those late arriving April showers:

Surface to Air Grey and Green Madras Check Bomber



One of my favourite pieces this season, and the ultimate spring jacket. Its lightweight and nicely breathable but will keep you warm on brisk Spring evenings. Heather grey cuffs and collar and lined in chambray, its an absolute steal.

Surface to Air Military Jacket



Waxed cotton, chambray lining and all the pockets you could ask for.

Nobody has said it any better than Frank.

Passarella Death Squad

(These are now sold out)

In an attempt to take graphic t-shirts in a new direction, Passarella Death Squad create highly sought after garments inspired by products and places from popular culture and arts subculture with their own twist. The images are not far detached from the raunchy images spread across the pages of fashion magazines. The pair, in between releasing music on the label Republic of Desire, reimagine city branding, corporate logos and some of the world's most recognised architectural landmarks.

Based in London, they're quickly becoming a cult label with a growing following. Broddle and Albisser use the finest Japanese fabric and manufacture in London and Japan alone, resulting in an exclusive and extremely comfortable cotton blend.

The sun may have disappeared in the North of England for today but I'm sure it'll be back soon and there's no better t-shirt that stands out from your crowd.

Tretorn

Since its inception in Helsinborg in the late 19th Century, Tretorn have always been for people who enjoy to live their lives outside. Starting out producing rubber goods, Tretorn are now more widely recognised outside Sweden for their classic understated and practical sneakers as well as their sponsorship of the ATP World Tour. They also understand that products that celebrate a life lived outside have a commitment to a sustainable approach to manufacturing and respect for the environment. They have set up major sectors that ensure their longstanding commitment to social corporate responsibility as well as forming an essential relationship between employees, environment and customers.

These guys really know how to put together a great pair of trainers and the fairest part is the price:


Krona Mid Suede - £80

T56 Canvas - £55

T56 Black Canvas - £55


(via Selectism, cheers guys)

If there is such a thing as exhibition envy, I am feeling it right now. The National Gallery of Art in Washington is putting on the first scholarly exhibition of a true legend of modern American poetry (and personal favourite of mine), Allen Ginsberg. From early photographs of close friends and fellow writers, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs through his rise to literary fame and involvement in an expanding generation of beat writers, this is an intimate exhibition of his friends and lovers all assessed in scholarly scrutiny.
