Images from the Monitaly Spring/Summer 2011 lookbook also showcasing some Yuketen goods out and about. See the rest here.

Quoddy whipped up a nice variation of their boat shoe for UK shop Oi Polloi. The deck sole is swapped out for a stitched crepe sole and the toebox is constructed with a nice x-stitching. I recall seeing this boat shoe variation from Quoddy a couple years ago made for Albam, I guess this is a moccasin aimed at the Brits?

Marketing images ca.1995-8 from Italian brand Aspesi, a refreshing contrast to the current ‘model pensively staring into a natural landscape’ lookbook trend. All black and white photographs that appear above were taken by Robert Frank who worked with the brand on three books.

Caps from Supreme’s upcoming spring/summer 2011 line, likely the only time supreme products will appear on cork grips though I’ve always been a fan of their patterned caps. I wish I hadn’t hesitated on those great wool blanket caps from their fall/winter line. The patchwork madras number is especially nice and will look even better once I x-acto off that iconic box logo (my forehead is strictly a no-branding zone save for hometown sports teams).
