Porter’s Sanforized accessories bring us way back. This wallet in rugged denim is dark on the outside to repel dirt, wear, and the like, but the lining is fashioned in cream canvas with a cool circular logo addition. Contrast stitching on the outside makes this wallet more casual; the back zip on the coin pocket has a long suede knotted tie. Stitched-in Porter tag at the front in canvas. [via hypebeast]
The L’Officiel “Feel the Surface” editorial, styled by Marcus Zietz, explored the crossroads between men’s, unisex, and vaguely feminine designs. Heavy beading spruced up chiffon draping and shirts, too, and was paired with unusual pieces like lightweight jackets, button-down shirts, and heavier fabrics. After seeing so many fitted silhouettes, it’s nice to delve into a world where everything’s looser, more comfortable, and ready to be taken on a vacation… or at least worn when lounging.

In style, the grass often seems that little bit shinier and slinkier on the other side of the fence. As the proverb suggests, however, that is merely a result of your vantage point.
Breitling has rejuvenated the design of the Superocean, the famous diver’s timepiece it launched in 1957; Breitling had already established itself as the official supplier to world aviation. The Superocean is equipped with an ultra-readable dial, an armored glass and a monohull case watertight to a depth of 200 meters (660 ft) – a remarkable feat at that time. Originally designed to equip professional and military divers, the original model quickly gained a following among enthusiasts in the booming field of leisure diving.
Breitling is now updating the legendary collection by debuting a Superocean with an entirely revamped design. The new dial colors are Abyss Black, Abyss Silver, Abyss Blue, Abyss Red and Abyss Yellow; the watch size remains 42mm. The Superocean collection features a rubber or steel bracelet option, Breitling’s Caliber 17 self-winding movement, over-sized Superluminova hands and hourmarkers and water-resistant to 1,500 m. The Superocean is on display at the annual Baselworld trade show in Switzerland. [via selectism]
Deck shoes? Don’t wait until you’re oceanside to toss on a pair of these shoes, a product of a collaboration between hobo and Koyuk. These creative double wing shoes take advantage of the natural hemp texture, complete with a straw sole. Made in Spain, the shoes are available in several cool colorways. You’ll find the Hobo logo embossed onto the rich leather part of the shoe. [via high snobiety]
CAV-000 developed their spring 2010 lookbook with a rocker model who complements their looks to a t. A slightly loose fit adds a touch of devil-may-care attitude to a collection of separates with monochromatic leanings. Tighter jeans, a fitted coat, and a three-piece suit are some of their most successful pieces, oozing both low-key appeal and a touch of reckless dressing. Long hair is the perfect accessory.

There are a variety of new Super Flat Top Sunglasses currently available at Ssense, and in a bunch of different colors and slightly tweaked styles. The Ciccio Flat and the Flat Top Yellow are the boldest of options, but they also have a plain black and a dark brown tortoiseshell pair as well. These will probably replace your Wayfarers for a while, later remaining a shade in the top rotation of your collection. [from $139 at ssense]
At the heart of the Jean Dunand Palace is a flying tourbillon; on either side, two oval-shaped tracks are reminiscent of the legendary Milwaukee Mile racing circuit. The left track indicating GMT makes two passes: when the disc reaches the end, it flies back to the top and the arrow rotates 180 degrees to chart the other scale. On the right, a 72 hour power reserve indicator mirrors the GMT.
Recalling Charlie Chaplin’s classic film, Modern Times, visible bridges and wheels are visual clues to the Industrial Revolution. A winding mechanism communicates its power to the barrel via a tiny chain with minuscule tensioner, designed to evoke the chain of vintage motorcycles. Providing structure to the movement are rigid plates suggesting the reinforcement of a cast-iron structure supported by ten tiny pillars. The movement is larger than most complete watches, so the case is a generous 48mm by 49mm providing ample spaciousness. [via hodinkee]
It feels like we haven’t visited Supra in a while, so we’re getting that stitched up right now. The Supra NS 2010 Spring Collection will appeal to more than just Supra fanatics, with the primarily monochrome colorway and expected white or black vulcanized outsole trim. With black laces, the Cuttler (top) is clean and minimal in fullgrain leather, while the Supra Strapped 2 heads off on a more contemporary route. For lower lines, the Assault is waiting with a vulcanized outsole and a trad low top design. [via hypebeast]
