Trove Spring/Summer 2012 Lookbook

Really intriguing lookbook from Japan’s Trove for s/s ’12. I’m a huge fan of the pieces take individually (which you can check on their site), but the washed out feminine feel to this shoot caught me a bit off guard… not a style we’ve posted in a while, but perhaps that’s why I like it so much… artistic but not too much so. The treatment of the photos is especially good, and combined with the collection this is definitely a top spring/summer line. More of the lookbook after the jump, click images for full size.

Poler Stuff: Adventure #005

Poler have been making some big waves in the market over the last little while. They have their formula down, unique quality products and a solid team to back them. They also have some great ideas for their website, with one of them being the Adventure series, which features Poler goods doing what they do best, getting out there. Here is a look at the Poler Adventure #005 entitled Cypress Bowl Cabin Hideaway, shot by my friend Alana Paterson and styled by Mila Franovic. A few of my favorite shots featured above and check here to see the rest of the shoot.

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.*

Carhartt WIP Women Fall/Winter 2011 Lookbook


Carhartt’s WIP label has become a serious favourite around here as of late, especially this season’s mens collection, featured back here. Today I came across the women’s f/w lookbook, shot by French photag Stéphanie Solinas, and it’s just as impressive as anything from the men’s run; from the shot compositions to the pieces, everything is as it should be, and as you would expect from Carhartt EU. It’s also been a while since we’ve featured some women’s styling, and what better line to bring it back with… more after the jump.

It’s Better In The Wind

We’ve been waiting for the completion of this short film for over a year now, since we first caught word of Scott Toepfer’s photo and video project, It’s Better In The Wind. Shot on a mix of Super 8 and digital, this film is an honest documentation of the bropack and the road (and dried out riverbeds / salt flats) that binds them. Anybody who’s ever ridden any distance with their true friends knows what an experience this is: as rewarding as it gets, and revealing of your real values and enjoyments in life. In Toepfer’s words,

‘I have been slowly editing the footage into a visual scrapbook of sorts for those who partook, and those who followed us via the web. No preaching the triumphs and failures of the motorcycle industry, no divisive commentary between manufacturers and styles… just a collection of imagery that will hopefully inspire more people to take to the road and discover what there is outside of our respective communities.’

Congrats to Scott and his crew, a project like this isn’t easy to finish. Hope to see plenty more from him in the future, and I’m sure we will: you can continue support IBITW through the online store.

45rpm Winter 2011 Lookbook

Here’s a selection of shots from the winter ’11 lookbook by 45rpm. We featured the fall presentation a couple weeks ago, and this expansive lookbook by the label is just as impressive, beautifully captured outdoors in a far flung pastoral setting. And while I’m only posting my favourite men’s looks, there’s 100+ pics to sort through, with the woman’s line as amazing as always.. check the full lookbook here, and more choice shots after the jump (thanks to Inventory for the tip).
