    The classic MA-1 sleeve pocket gets a new home: Subtle military design cues work well.  Trust Japanese brand Digawel to do it right. I find I’m always shoving my keys and store receipts in my MA-1’s pocket sleeve.  I don’t know how well a heavy set of keys would work in this pocket on a…

    Take it or leave it says Engineered Garments: Engineered Garments is definitely one of my favorite American brands, but their commitment to not giving a shit about whether or not you can find their clothes anywhere for purchase is kind of frustrating.  Take their website for example… at the time of writing this all you get is…

    A great looking MA-1 out of Canada: The jacket is made out of heavyweight fleece and comes with a removable quilted nylon insulator vest.  I’m not sure how warm that combination makes the jacket, but my guess is that it’s best suited for when the temperature is hovering above freezing. For $360 over at HAVEN,…

    Another simple but solid collab between Stussy and Schott: Nothing really exceptional here, but the camouflage in the hood and leather detail on the chest is a nice touch. Available for ￥41,790 ($515 USD) over at Stussy. You might remember that Stussy and shot also recently worked on a Waxed M65 jacket and a U.S. Navy Pea…
