Gloverall for Warehouse
Japan, always getting all the good stuff. A limited collaboration between Japanese brand Warehouse and English duffle coat extraordinaires Gloverall. Read about it here (jumbled google chrome translation) and buy one here if you’ve got a Japanese sugar momma. Also of note is this short Gloverall duffle made for Oi Polloi, not quite as pricey.
Buzz Rickson’s
Buzz Rickon’s is a Japanese company that recreates US military garments, not military inspired, but as true to every stitch possible as the original garments. Appropriately enough the name of the brand comes from a bomber pilot Steve McQueen played in the film ‘The War Lover’. Available here, and also check out their full 2010 catalog.

I honestly believe that if Patagonia brought back some of these patterned fleeces that they’d actually be a big hit. Whether or not I think I could pull it off is another story but I do think they’re fantastic. All these gems are on ebay so get out there.

A.P.C.arhartt
This Thursday the line of collaborations by APC and Carhartt will be released, this fall has seemed to be full of work and street wear collaborations: Levis and Filson, Filson and Vans, Pointer and Urban Outfitters and now this (and there’s a good chance I’m leaving out some that I just plain don’t know about). I’m interested in what the price points will look like especially since the originals are so affordable. The press release mentioned new fabrics and alterations to the original cuts which is expected if it’s to fit into Touitou’s showrooms.
