No Mas x Silver Lining Sports Shades
(10 July 2009) - NYC label No Mas knows that nothing says summer like vintage shades, prompting their recent collaboration with Silver Lining Opticians.

Fiber and Fellow Fall/Winter 09
(18 June 2009) - Fiber & Fellow has been on our radar for some time now, but we are especially impressed with their upcoming Fall/Winter 09 collection which is due out late this Summer. Based out of Long Beach, California, Fiber & Fellow's latest menswear collection might fit better in the woods than on the beach. What I like most is the blend of traditional and contemporary styles...

Welcome to Toddland
(25 March 2009) - After noticing a killer one-piece jumpsuit called the "Conchord" online we asked ourselves, “Who would make such a great piece?” Below are the answers we got back after exchanging a few emails full of intrigue and wit with one of the founders (Todd) of the clothing line Toddland.

Vane for Sebago
(24 March 2009) - While yachts and tattoos generally have little in common, the street-savvy boys behind Vane New York prove that everyone loves a good boat shoe with their urban rendition of Sebago's classic Dockside. Both purveyors of quality, the two brands used their shared attribute to produce a shoe that comes together naturally while keeping to their independent styles. The outcome is a classy downtown loafer...

Raeburn Design
(12 December 2008) - Christopher Raeburn cleverly constructs high-end street wear from re-deployed parachutes and military fabrics. Sourced from uniforms of specific countries and vintages, Raeburn creates elegant pieces of clothing in stark contrast to the combat-ready materials from which they were made. We especially like the Parachute Jacket (pictured) for its breezy look. Using mainly recycled materials, these ethically-correct garments are produced in England. The outerwear features...

Andre Balazs Limited Edition T-Shirts
(09 December 2008) - Like The Standard Hotel itself, the three designers chosen to highlight the hotel's three locations with limited edition shirts are anything but ordinary.

Nixon Headphones
(04 December 2008) - by Russ Lowe What if Nixon, known for making watches geared toward design-sensible board sports enthusiasts, off-kilter iconoclasts and Tokyo drifters, among others, made headphones? What if they were compatible with that iPhone or BlackBerry you lug around everyday? What if they were beautiful and sounded like the third row at a Radiohead show? Well, It’s your lucky day. The Encinitas, CA-based horologists have officially...

Burton AK Leather Tech Glove
(30 September 2008) - The end of September is not too early to start thinking about keeping warm on the cold winter city streets. It also isn't to early to think about getting back on the mountain for fun on the board. These two pursuits became one when I found these gloves from Burton. The AK Leather Tech Glove is meant to be a killer park glove, but...

Zillion Kimono Fabric Streetwear
(10 July 2008) - Using the traditional patterns of Japanese kimonos, Tokyo-based French designer David Guarino's line Zillion reinvents the fabric by making caps, belts, shoelaces, hoodies and other modern staples out of the delicate material. The resulting contemporary shapes contrasted with detailed graphics quickly became some of our favorite accessories. We particularly like the shoelaces and belts for the subtle style they add to basics. In addition...

Clae Summer 2008
(25 June 2008) - Due to belatedly launch in the next week, Clae's Summer 2008 collection is further testament to the flawless level of detail that the brand strives for.

Rittenhouse
(16 June 2008) - Named for a famous square in Philadelphia, the Australian brand Rittenhouse often grabs my attention as I fumble through racks at local shops. The label is the work of designer Sally McDonald and graphic artist Micah Handorf, both of who worked for PAM and Stussy—the aesthetic bent is evident in the Rittenhouse designs. Using quality fabrics and subtle details (that still pack a punch),...

Huf: Spring/Summer 2008
(08 May 2008) - Huf recently released their most ambitious cut and sew line for this Spring/Summer 2008. What started out as a mainly a t-shirt brand, Keith Hufnagel (the New York skate legend who's now based out of San Francisco) has carefully crafted into a skate and street culture institution. Their newest line seems a bit more grown-up than past editions with conservatively-colored button down cotton shirts...

Original Fake Two Fingers T-Shirt
(14 April 2008) - A deceivingly funny t-shirt from Kaws using his trademark Mickey Mouse-esque cartoon hands, it just about sums up the complicated set of feelings I have about New York City (and everything else) these days. (Also see Public School's similar expression of dueling emotions.) Available in black and white from We Sold Out for €65. via Highsnobiety...
