Cool Hunting

With the recent drop in temperature I've been looking for some Fall gear. We already told you about dREALM and 38 Regular, a small shop in the East Village section of New York that hand-stitches all their pieces in the city, often right in the back of their small shop. It's a destination for finding truly original and high quality items that are sure to last longer than the season's trend.

Made of 100% cotton canvas, the Workmen jacket (top left) is perfect for raking leaves or walking around the city in the Autumn weather. With a squarish industrial silhouette, small hand stitched details give the jacket character (above left). The red eyelets paired with black buttons and the extended neck closure are other standout features. I could see this jacket paired well with the pima cotton Simple dress shirt (top right). Again, it's the small details that add originality to an otherwise plain shirt. I especially like the rough white stitching around the gusset (above right).

If you're looking for something a bit more Sunday, The Joiner is a super soft cotton fleece crew neck sweatshirt (right). More of a raw look, I love the red stitching throughout, especially around the cut open pockets (far right).
The Simple dress shirt goes for $185 and the Joiner $160. For purchasing details of the Workmen Jacket contact dREALM at info[at]38regular[dot]com or call +1 212 260 5467.

Fresh off a smoke, Renzo Rosso sat down with us to answer a few questions about Diesel's newest and largest Planet store on swanky Fifth Avenue in NYC. Looking more Mick Jagger than his revered neighbor Armani, it's clear this store is more rock'n'roll than Rockefeller. Located at the corner of 54th Street, the doors open today, just four hours before Renzo bares his Fall...

Of streetwear pioneer Alife's many 2008 accomplishments—which include fresh collaborations (see their Lacoste Polos and the Parra x Patta sneaker for a couple of our favorites) and stores opening in Tokyo and Los Angeles—what might be the most significant for the seven-year-old brand is the introduction of their new NYC retail location, the A.R.C. Sports Store. Opened Monday directly across the street from their...
Good things come in small packages, so great things must come from what has to be the smallest store in NYC, Laura Lobdell's jewelry store in the West Village, which opened last week. I'm a longtime fan of her found object-based designs and with the store's large assortment of playful and quotidian jewelry makes it easy to find the right gift for anyone. Perfect for...
by Ariston AndersonWe haven't been so excited about a diffusion line since Proenza Schouler came to Target. Comme des Garçons, literally "like some boys," is about to take H&M by storm with a men's and women's collection that pulls up some of the avant garde design house's signature trends, like mad polka dots, externally embroidered jackets, wool suits, skirts and shorts with disjointed pieces. The...
