KICKS - TX CANVAS BROWN: Made by HUF

I stopped by a fashion store known to Torontonians as Livestock and I found some Canvas sneakers made by HUF that were pretty dope, matching it with a cashmere coat I had bought some weeks ago. Every time I go to this spot I'm met with excellent service and the product lines are always fresh and innovative, definitely one of the better places for urban fashion and sneakers in general; for the shopper who'd want an item from a place that isn't as mainstream as Foot Locker etc.

STYLE & what it means to you: for me COOL was personfified by the Jazz Men

The Style of people like Dizzy Gillespie; one of many examples of how cool Jazz men were to me, and it's funny how these classic forms of style (which I always said never would die) are coming back now with a vengeance. The Bow Tie...the spectacles, I study and learn from these examples wholeheartedly.

Up your game fellas...

Play Cloths: Fall Winter Apparel - PLAY JKT FIELD STAR BLACK

Via: deadstock.ca



Play Cloths is a relatively new brand, a business extension of Rap duo 'The Clipse' known for there productions with the Neptunes. The Collection’s pieces are all very well made and suitable for everyday wear. I've always been a silent admirer of this brand as I've watched it progress in style aesthetically, but now I can say that I'd rep it.

HOW TO CLEAN A WHITE G-SHOCK?

Via: deadstock.ca



Say Hi to my new friend...the G-SHOCK 7900 in mainly white and blue :) I've owned other colors, but never a white one and I noticed that they can get smudged with everyday wear...so I thought I'd find a tutorial on how to keep your dope white G-shocks clean as white needs to be. I don't know this nerdy kid in the video but I'm assuming that his cleaning method works. Although personally I think you could easily clean off any dirt with just mild soap and a toothbrush, which would remove any dirt for the most part.

Nail polish remover, otherwise known as acetone is an aggressive organic cleaner which could damage the resin band, and this video doesn't address the passive staining that becomes a part of your watch over time. Nothing white is gonna last forever...so the best thing for any White G-Shock, just as it is with White sneakers is "moderate use" (don't go to sleep with your white watch on, and don't over wear any watch with a white band, accessorize in accordance with your outfit only).

CBF Brasil Pique Polo Shirt in White: Nike Design

Via: nike.com




This Nike CBF Brasil Pique Polo Shirt in White is quite dope.

You will not find it at most Nike retail locations or soccer gear retailers. Instead, only the most consummate soccer shops would have it. Not certain if its popularity circumscribed the supply or the edition was limited to start with. Despite its “hard to find” status, the Pique Polo Shirt is one with well constituted details. The tone-on-tone Nike Swoosh embroidery on the right disappears into the background. Instead, the attention is on the Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) ‘ 5 Stars (5 World Cup titles) crest in black. The 100% cotton CBF Brasil Pique Polo Shirt in White is now available at selected retailers around the world.

Corpus Cowichin Cardigan Sweater

Via: revolveclothing.com



Warm up your day with this well priced “cowichin” cardigan from Corpus. For those looking for a special take on their cardigan look, this one will be fitting. Rather than simple, easy to use button closures, you will be greeted with three leather buckle like closures which may take more than a minute to set. All good though as we love the split color on the merino wool finish and the in trend shawl style collar.

Brand - Full Circle: Double Breasted Jacket

Via: frenchtruckers.com



This is a really nice double breasted jacket from Full Circle going for a good price right now. The double breasted tailored fit jacket features two front mock pockets, shoulder epaulettes, and rear vents. A good simple look which is the look I tend to like, and the double breasted look is definitely in also.
