Nanamica have unleashed they're new season look-book & sadly instead of progressing and showing a bit of innovation or boundary pushing they have decided to play the tired-out 'reliable' card. As always the outerwear is impeccable, regularly outfitted with Gore-Tex for that wind and water resistance. Nanamica always has a little bit of a nautical feel to it, but it's never overdone and S/S 16 keeps that influence palatable. The new season collection will be hitting stores very soon. #nanamica #new #season #lookbook #nautical #japan #outerwear #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #smart #casual #style #fashion #glasgow #scotland

Created back in 1978 by Nike's first apparel designer, the Windrunner Jacket was a revolutionary item, well ahead of its time. Nike have enlisted the services of technical geniuses Stone Island to commemorate this running icon and re-invent it through fabric innovation, engineering & garment dying. The jacket's themselves feature a fusion of aesthetics from both brands to produce a modern interpretation which includes fabrics such as Mussola Gommato & Nylon Metal. #stoneisland #nikelab #collaboration #windrunner #jacket #hipster #fusion #casuals #streetwear #sportswear #future #smart #casual #style #fashion #glasgow #scotland

    For my first blog post Dan has asked me to have a look at NikeLab’s Holiday 2015  ACG collection designed in collaboration with Errolson Hugh, co-founder and principle designer of Berlin based design agency ACRONYM.

Supreme/Comme des Garçons SHIRT/Timberland JV

    I work in the construction industry, and a lot of the major civil engineering projects in the country are joint ventures between two companies or JV’s for short. And in a move that will get Nigel Farage throwing his Hugo Boss/Chanel/Coca Cola special edition JV ashtray at the wall in a fit of rage, the latest EU directive decries that clothing companies are no longer allowed to call their…

For our last instalment of footwear winter choices we have drawn influences from countries that breed everything that is great about menswear. The curation features the Tabacco drill 1914 pant from 1ST PAT-RN, a twill chino that features a red selvedge line & is constructed from 100% cotton. The socks are from artisan makers CHUP by glen clyde which feature an intricate multi-coloured knit. Finishing off are the moc-toe boot from Red Wing, seen here in the limited edition indigo blue, one of the most iconic boot designs from the Red Wing collection.

NikeLab’s ACG sub-label made its much anticipated return with its 2015 Holiday collection. The new collection has been designed as an all day sports collection and is technical sportswear in its purest form. The ACG 2 in 1 bomber jacket is a perfect example of functionality meets style. This allows the wearer to transform the jacket into a rucksack when on the move from indoors to outdoors. #nike #nikelab #acg #collection #acronym #errolsonhugh #menswear #streetwear #functionality #outerwear #winter #smart #casual #style #fashion #glasgow #scotland

Adidas New York Spezial

Adidas New York Spezial

When I think of the Swiss I generally think of watches, cheese, chocolate and offshore bank accounts held by Tory donors so they don’t have to contribute to society like everyone else. When I think of the Swiss Army I automatically think of Swiss Army knives. But the Swiss Army is a bit of a paradox. Because Switzerland as a nation is a neutral country, so if they’re not going to fight why do…
