Happy holidays from cork grips. Illustrations by Andrew Mashanov, a fun take on the menswear blogger kits.
Be Like Mike
Deniro as Mike, shot by Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters) at North Cascades National Park in Washington. Kit inspired by the hunting scenes after the jump.
• Internet Movie Firearms Database – The Deer Hunter
• 10engines – Roy Neary & Peter Venkman
Close Up and Private
Winter styling by Sergei Sviatchenko of Close Up and Private. Selected samples make good uses of the duffle coat, goose down, tweed, and fair-isle knits. Plenty more ideas in the Autumn-Winter 2010 pages.

first down
The very first American quilted down coat, The Skyliner, invented in 1936 and later patented in 1940 by Seattle’s Eddie Bauer. Classic style still in production today.. in America? Doubt it.
• Eddie Bauer – Skyliner Down Jacket
• A Continuous Lean – Expedition Outfitter c. 1966
Free & Easy
Illustrations from Free & Easy magazine, Japan only but available on some US web stores few and far between. As Mister Crew mentioned these illustrations seem kind of silly without seeing them within the context of the issue’s themes which range from navy, army, workwear, and the “Dad’s Style” issues whose covers have included photographs of Steve McQueen and more recently Eric Clapton. Full spread scans from “The Navy-ism” issue below.
