Muttonhead x Raised by Wolves


Here is a sneak peak at the upcoming collaboration between two Canadian based labels, Muttonhead and Raised by Wolves. They have joined their efforts to produce a two-piece mini capsule, consisting of a classic style raglan crewneck sweater and a 5-panel hat. Both of these lines do a great job of focusing on North American manufacturing and this collaboration maintains that focus, with the sweaters being produced in Toronto and the hats being made in LA. Look for this collection to drop for the autumn/winter 2012 season…

Sitka: Crown Collection Fall/Winter 2012


Hailing from the true Westcoast, Vancouver Island-based Sitka have just released this lookbook for a new venture from the line, the Crown collection. With the Crown collection Sitka is looking to branch off from their main line and bring a more premium collection to the market. This capsule collection is small but features some nice pieces for both guys and girls as well as a few notable collaborations, one being a really nice Cowichan style sweater from Vancouver’s Granted. The collection is mostly made up of pieces done in a wool/cotton blended fabric which is durable and warm while still remaining soft and comfortable. The lookbook was shot at a derelect castle located at the top of a perfect westcoast vantage point. Above is the b+w polaroid shots from the lookbook and click through for the color shots.

Whiz Limited x Disney Crewneck

Perhaps the most overdone collab of the past forever is Disney x _____, usually Mickey flipped in some half-assed way… meaning, normally I would pass this right over. That said, I have a dark history of digging deep in vintage bins searching for the right Disney piece, so I’m always open to the right interpretation, and Whiz LTD really nail it with this one, a blacked-out crew that comes together perfectly. Maybe this can be the last Disney collab ever? Not likely but we can always dream.

Push Connection x Master-Piece Bags

Nice little collaboration between Japanese labels Push Connection and Master-Piece on a backpack and a smaller shoulder bag. Really feeling both designs, normally I wouldn’t got for something like the ‘push’ script splashed across the whole thing, but it definitely works here. Push Connection is a label I just found out about, one to keep an eye on… detail shots after the jump.

The Great Divide – Winter 2011 Lookbook

The Great Divide have put together this shop lookbook for the Winter 2011 season. The spread features some of the shops lines shown together, from Silas, Won Hundred, Denim Demon, Pointer, to Libertine-Libertine, to name a few. I dig the casual look of the shoot, with coffees, burgers, folding bikes and a Ruckus’, all good in my books. Read though for the rest of the lookbook and click for hi-res images.

4 Horsemen Supplies x Viberg Hiker

We are pleased to give you the first full look at the 4 Horsemen Supplies x Viberg Hiker Boot. This is the third collaboration between the two Victoria-based companies, with the Service Boot and Saddle Oxford being the previous two. This time around they decided to flip the script on the classic Viberg Hiker by using the 2030 last (same one as the 4HS x Viberg Service Boot), which is a touch slimmer than the traditional Hiker last. They removed the Thinsulate liner, used an unconstructed toe with a reverse Peanut color bullhide upper slammed on a Vibram 2021 sole in sand color with the classic red hiker lace, with an extra set of leather laces as well. The boot was designed as an around-town hiker with a slimmed down profile and more lighter weight and feel than the traditional style. We are always happy to work with these two companies, and even happier with the outcome of their efforts, beautiful looking, hand-made boots designed and made in our backyard. Look for these to drop towards the end of this week and contact Four Horsemen direct for more info on details and release dates.*

Pawn Fall/Winter 2011

Another great Japanese motorcycle-influenced streetwear line, I recently discovered Pawn through Uniforme, who also sell 84/85 favorites FUCT and F*ucking Awesome. This run includes three collaborations, a shirt each with Schott and Vans, and a pant with Dickies, nice to additions to a tight collection of pretty straight ahead garage styles. And while a little overbranded a times, all in Pawn looks pretty dope… more after the jump

Brixton + Spitfire Wheels team up for this heavyweight flannel featuring sherpa lining, in an exclusive run for fall ’11. Normally we don’t feature singular products but hey it’s Brixton, and as per usual they made a rad video to go along with it.
