Actual Pain Dethbook

The Seattle KVLT of Actual Pain have a new project just released today, a fashion/photo magazine entitled Dethbook. This will of course be awesome and you will want a copy, so get it quick because they only printed 500 and the way AP has blown up over the past year you can be sure they’ll sell through.

Lowside Mag

There’s a lot of good motorcycle mags out there, but most usually only champion one style of engine, which in turn vilifies everything else… not so much with Lowside. I picked up a few issues from Self Edge down in SF last week based on the strength of their cover imagery, and was super impressed with the content… a totally positive take on motorcycle customization, riding, and brotherhood, the mag has great writing and even better photography, covering all mc subcultures from choppers through to cafes. Hit their online shop to subscribe or cop a piece of apparel; support dudes documenting the passion for everything motorcycle, regardless of what you ride.

CALEE Spring/Summer 2012

Damn ya’ll sorry for the lack of posts as of late, sometimes life gets in the way of blauge output but this week things should be back to normal around here. That said here is a look at the newest collection from Japanese label CALEE with their spring/summer 2012 range. This is another one of those lines that harnesses the greaser/mechanic look really well, with workwear inspired styles galore. Really liking the coveralls and overalls as well as the bowler shirts, read through for the rest of the looks.

Nonnative Fall/Winter 2012

One of of favourite complete labels for years now, Nonnative has just released this first look at their f/w 2012 collection entitled Stumptown Sidewalk, paying tribute to Portland OR street fashion. May seem like a bit of a head shaker but the Pac Northwest influence is definitely there, mostly in the form of dad-fashion such as hiking boots, sock tucks, slight (inadvertent) pant crops, vests and plaids. As always with Nonnative I’m super hyped on the styling and cohesiveness of the lookbook, the Japanese label really never fails and the fall/winter seasons are always especially strong… more after the jump.
