Fancy:
I love factory tours! Multicam is definitely in my top 5 dead or alive camouflage patterns.
A lot of science and technology go into making the products as good as they are.

Comme Des Garcons Blesses A Tee With Disney – Mickey Commeflage
CDG put their ridiculous heart logo aside for once, got the Disney blessing and hit the cotton running:
£125 ($209 USD) over at END Clothing.
I bet you didn’t even know camo blocking was so hot right now. I didn’t either, but know I know. Add prototype looking Mickey Mouse sketches to it, a Mickey multicam into the mix, and what you have is a witches brew of straight fire.
If I would have known about this before I went to Disney Land with my family this Christmas I would have copped and stunted on all the basic park goers. Instead, doing as I normally do, I packed a massive duffle bag and a carry-on backpack full of clothes and shoes…. Did I wear all/most of it? Nope, I wore the same pair of raw denim I’ve been trying to break in, and just changed socks, underwear, and my t-shirt (ENDO Apparel of course) all week.
Side note: I didn’t forget about this blog, don’t worry. I’ve been crazy busy with ENDO though, so that’s been taking up most of my time. I’ll try my best to get posts up here more regularly! Thanks to all of you that still are subscribed and check back!

Doubling Down – Dual Ear Sets On The Hat
If you’re a grown-ass man, shit like this is never considered acceptable:
£212 ($341 USD) over at Oki-Ni.
It quickly became obvious to me that designer Bernhard Willhelm has been pushing envelopes in the game for a while now.. dude has quite a few weird products out, and a incredibly shitty website which is very hard to navigate. That last point alone garners a crazy amount of designer street cred. I’m not sure why he thought a single set of ears on a hat would be acceptable, much less two sets of ears and some weird looking tusk type ventilation area right over the visor. It looks like some high school sewing class project the surly goth girl in your class put together. The teacher gave her an A because her stitches were tight, and she really committed to the audacity of the idea. It’s important to note that goth chicks are scary when they get mad, and teachers are terrified of hexes.
I know some of you are probably thinking I’d have a different opinion if the designer went with Multicam rather than woodland on the visor. SHUT UP! NUH UH, NO I WOULDN’T!#^!@

Kryptek Vehicle Wraps – I Won’t Even Tint It They Should Know Who’s In It
Kryptek Typhon Ferraris and a Rolls Royce:
There’s something great about putting a disruptive pattern on a few hundred thousand dollar vehicle. I’m definitely going to do that or matte black, and be like fuck it I won’t even tint it they should know who’s in it.
As far as camouflages go, I still like multicam the best. Because of the colors and pattern it definitely has more fashion applications.
Thoughts?

Multicam Sidepanel Flannel – Turn The Plane Around If Her Ass Keep Complaining
Perfect for cozy P.J. rides to your girlfriends parents place for the weekend:
This isn’t the first time SOPHNET hit the side of a flannel with camouflage. Good call on the multicam this year because it’s hot… Kryptek would have been cool too. Notice I specified I liked the multicam… not whatever that urban-multicam grey bastardization is on two of the shirts.
Most girls just won’t appreciate the multicam detailing. Going to her parents for the weekend you tried to push the envelope a bit and wear something fall appropriate with a collar, but not look like some boring J.C. Penny lame… she won’t shut up about how it’s too casual. She knows you keep an extra kit stowed just for emergencies so watch out for that “Oops, turbulence caused me to spill mimosa all over your chest” move. Girls can be sneaky like that. Just tell her you’ll turn the plane around if her ass keep complaining, and it’s a wrap. Her young guy cousins and you will bond over the multicam, you’ll toss beers back and poke fun at the struggle Movember staches they are all cultivating, probably shoot some quail or something, everyone will love you, and all in all it will be a good weekend trust me.
¥24,150 ($242 USD) over at SOPHNET.

Socks As An Inexpensive Way To Demonstrate Your Superiority
Loud camouflage socks:
$40 over at Nice Laundry.
At the end of the day isn’t that #menswear life all about quietly announcing to other guys how superior you are, as often as possible? If some ways happen to be inexpensive, then great. Sure $40 per pair of socks isn’t cheap if you’re used to buying Costco 12-packs. How many socks do you really need though? I suppose the first question should be how often do you do laundry? If you do laundry once a week, and want a bit of a buffer then 10 pairs of socks would probably do it. I don’t have a specific laundry schedule, so I have like 30+ pairs and have even bought more instead of doing laundry. I was actually thinking that I needed some nicer socks a while ago, so I’ll probably add at least a pair of these to my drawer. Good to have on hand when you know you’re going to be chilling out in public, casually throwing an ankle onto your opposite knee where your denim raises up causing the sock to peek out. Random people are not likely going to tell you how great your socks are, but when you catch them doing a sideways glance then quickly looking away you can chalk it up as a win.
