Haberdash closing

We had a great night at Haberdash, closing out the week long fashion event in SF at Candy Store collective, where we will remain rotating exclusive product for the next month.  Special thanks to Jacob of Reason Furniture for unmatched hardware, Paul D'Oreleans for sharing his collection, and George Pitman for his superb styling.  See you in the mission.

Barbour x Tokihito Yoshida - AW10

Barbour holds royal warrants from Queen Elizabeth II, The Duke of Edinburgh, and The Prince of Wales, but Barbour's collaboration with Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida has managed to materialize something greater. The Beacon Brand Collection includes a waxed military and field jacket, quilted horse riding and motorcycle jackets, and a heavier retake on the standard Blouson. Inspired by Barbour's extensive archive that dates back to 1908, Tokihito updated these classic patterns with clever details that focus on utility and bring a rugged futurism to the designs - something a narc or organ dealer would wear in a Yakuza-run LA. Waxed Cotton is the new leather.

Things for me, things for Martingale

Here is a glance at some things that I bought this week for me, and some things that are actually joining our inventory. I cant say which is which just yet, because that would spoil the surprise.


From the top: Free & Easy magazine, the quintessential guide to dressing like a man: #142 / #143 / Vanson Trident Jacket for Epaulet / Johnson Motors 13 Rebels T: "This graphic is based on a historical motorcycle club founded in 1937 by the 13 top A.M.A. motorcycle racers in Southern California / Johnson Motors Winged Wheel T: "This symbol is based on the mythical winged-messenger Mercury. Used since the earliest days of motoring..." / Johnson Motors Storefront in LA : "The company is mostly known for its vintage style signature T-shirts.

Alina’s Chair: CNC Typography

Jacob over at Reason asked me to design a nameplate for this little girl's chair. There's a sweetness to this simple chair and simple logotype that makes it redeeming and memorable for me. Also I will probably get not get way with drawing a heart again.
