Generic Man Fall 08 by Tim Yu

Here's a little peek of what's to come from The Generic Man this fall courtesy of Arktip. The upcoming line looks as if it's made from recycled clothing—most likely Boy Scout or military clothing. There's not much information on this yet, but the recycled cotton outer adds a casual, rough-hewn look. Dark brown laces contrasted with tan is always complimentary and the plaid inner adds something unique yet still familiar.

Also, the old buttonhole detail seems like it could double as a coin slot-like stash pocket—great for milk money. From what we've seen, expect a full line using recycled materials and featuring old patches and artifacts. Check back with The Generic Man in the near future for the whole release.
