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.

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]
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]
The Cult of Personality editorial is inspirational enough to push you to dress up your separates and get fresh with knits and twills. Styled by Jeremy Myers for Florida International, this editorial makes you want to hunt down a sweater vest, try it with jeans, and have a moment with lightweight cardigans before your time completely runs out. Look for cotton-blend shirts with faded jeans and brogues. [via modeman]
Selectism found a tote bag with a classic shape over at C. Store, but this find has the one-up on most totes: it’s constructed with heavy-duty outer shell that will last and last. Forget canvas and go for a bag that’s just as practical, but that you won’t need to replace quickly– and that won’t spring a hole as easily. Finished in leather and easy to wear with dress shoes or casual kicks of your choice. [via selectism]
Another collaboration to look forward to this spring. Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons x Tricker’s of England is doing b & w footwear right. Suited for a varied audience of both classic and trendy pieces, these particular shoes are highly detailed in premium leather. Black and white, with amazing gold-stamped, leather interiors. These brogue-style shoes have chunky soles and look particularly good with something with a slight vintage air. [via hypebeast]
