What To Buy This Week 1.16
Selection of some of my favorite new and vintage items this week. Enjoy!
Blohm Shade of Tokyo - “Homies Rat” Light Green Loafers
Gorgeous Corduroy 100% Wool Upper. Cowhide Leather Inner. These are super unique and will only look better with time as the corduroy fades. Better Gift Shop is one my favorite shops to find interesting pieces like this.
Arket Corduroy Work Jacket
You need to head to the site to see how great this color looks. It is a perfect second or third layer on a mild winter day and will be great by itself come spring. Arket is very similar to Cos ( I think they are both owned by H&M?) they have a great contemporary offering at low-mid tier prices. This one seems to be selling quick so act fast!
Stussy X Timberland
I would be remiss to not add this beautiful collab by Stussy and OG workwear company Timberland. I love the mix of materials and subtle Stussy branding, they also have blue alternate laces that I would definitely swap in. There are still some sizes available online but I wouldn’t sleep!
Key Workwear Logger Jean
Raw denim is back and you can’t beat 40 bucks for a pair that will last for years to come. I feel like Key Apparel is a sleeper among the popular workwear brands, they have a pretty solid offering with prices typically cheaper than Carhartt or Ben Davis. These have a pretty long rise so you’ll probably have to get them hemmed a bit.
Uniqlo Nylon 2-Way Bag
Perfect for a commute or WFH trips to your local coffee shop. Converts from a tote to a backpack in a single step. I love this color and I think you’ll see this color a lot this year from brands.
Kid Super Screenplay Pants
These are crazy but I love them. Louis Vuitton just tapped Kid Super Founder/Designer Colm Dillane for their next menswear collection and these give you a good idea why.
Abercrombie - Sideline Style Sweater Polo
Classic style that will look great layered this winter and on it’s own come spring and summer. On sale for $48 right now. They did a great job styling this one online if you need some inspiration.
Birkenstock Zermatt
Everyone has a pair of Boston’s (for good reason) but these are similar style with the same comfort that all of your friends won’t have yet.
Mianasi Thin 14kt Gold Plated Diamond Ring
I love subtle jewelry like this. It will always make your looks seem more considered but isn’t too over the top. Buy some jewelry this year guys!
Caboler Shearling Leather Bomber Jacket
The best price i’ve seen for this style. A lot of companies making a version of this at 3-4 times the cost. This is another one of those jackets you’ll keep for a long time. If you’re looking for an investment Our Legacy made a really good version of this as well!
Everlane No-Sweat Ribbed Cardigan
I love this sort of Pistachio color that is perfect for a work from home layer or to smarten up a casual outfit while running around throughout the week.
Vintage Le Tigre Wool Bomber
Another one of those pieces that will cost $300+ brand new today, This is in amazing condition and gives you that varsity jacket shape without all of the patches and random peoples name. Someone buy it before I do (please).
Chamula - Botin Cochi Nergo Boot
Gorgeous boots that you can wear with jeans to the bar or with a suit to a formal dinner they also come with out the harness if that’s not your vibe. Chamula is a product of Monitaly Designer Yuki Matsuda and each piece is handmade in Mexico by leather artisans so I would expect nothing less than the best quality. For under $300 you can’t beat it.
