10E2025: Nick Wooster x United Arrows 2012 Harris Tweed Mallory Jacket

Reblog from Hypebeast; Nick Wooster x United Arrows 2012 Harris Tweed Mallory Jacket. Hells expensive no doubt. Even w/o the lining it'd be boss...

"A medley of tweeds in varying patterns — herringbone, Black Watch plaid and pinstripes, among them — forms the base of the winter-weight jacket, while his [Nick Wooster's -ed.] signature camouflage lines the interior."

10E2024: Caps For Sale | Ball and Buck + 10engines

 

New release; Ball and Buck + 10engines. Made in the USA five panel hat; headliner-scraping crown, mesh back, old time "USA" molded snap, doubled canvas duck front, and pony boy gold rope stitching. Visor lined with Ball and Buck's signature 8oz camo.

Back story: Last year I approached the Boston store Ball and Buck simply to get some manufacturing info and we ended up working together to create a product that reflects both our sensibilities. One of the guys is also my neighbor... so a lot of porch-rocking discussions. They will release this along with some heavier-weight products at an in-store event next Thursday; RSVP.

Be great to see people at the in-store do, but you may also buy a hat online through their shop - use code 10engines for $3 off and free shipping thus $25 shipped. (code expires after event date 8/23/12)

Seems unbelievable but it is hard to find good old, no-frills seed hats manufactured in the USA now. K-Products were a storied brand (did a run with them here) but taken over by Staples in 2008, and then the caps no longer manufactured domestically...  

"In 1998, [Swingster] bought K-Products, the company later changed its name to American Identity. [They infact kept K-Products going as a parallel company -ed.]

In 2007, Staples Corp. acquired American Identity. The business name was changed once again, this time to Staples Promotional Products in 2008." -via Chief Marketer 

10E2023: Bachelor Dinner | 3

Basically the burgers and mushrooms are a coleslaw-delivery-system. Homemade 'slaw FTW.

It can get a little silly celebrating (or mourning) the countless anniversaries of celebs, but it is currently Bukowski's birthday anniversary, the anniversary of Elvis' death, and would have been Julia Child's (not Childs') 100th birthday give or take a day.

The only pictures we have in our kitchen are an old B&W of my bruv at The Rosebud diner, and a photo of a younger Elvis. #fans Copy of EP's early album Sunshine on RDIO right now - hat tip to TheFoxIsBlack, no relation. Sunshine basically a studio version of the songs Elvis was doing on the Louisiana Hayride tour/radio show. Good stuff.

10E2021: Filson x Burton

Won't start in on Burton moving The Open to Vail right now... 

To quote the great philosopher Thomas Callhan Jr., "holy schnikes". Burton snowboards partnered with Filson to create the Squire above. Virgin Mackinaw Wool paired with oil-finished Shelter Cloth. On the inside a combo of satin/fleece lining and 3M™ Thinsulate™ Platinum Insulation. Fulltime hood with Sherpa fleece. Also the Sentry below; in full oilcloth. Both north of $300 but wouldn't kick out of bed for eating crackers... Burton's 2013 line trickling in.
