Sweats 'n Gore-Tex



" I cruise in a GS Lex', Cartier specs, nauctica sweats with the fresh Gore-tex" -Big L

Just because of the go-ill chi weather. Although people like to call Chicago the 'Windy City' because of its lakefront coolwave winds, the name originates from its rich history of journalism, reporters, and polititians pressing the name to establish chi-dentity. Not to be longwinded but this is for those 10 to below 0 days. Jackets all TNF. Pant Isoara... Robert Geller, The Real McCoy are all decent amongst others, however prefer Buzz Rickson.

If You're Gonna Do Red Wings.......

Do the moc toe oxford this fall (spring & summer, even) and be certain that your socks are woolen and stricken with color.

SOLE Glow.......


I think I only dig this because they rode the Sa-Ra Creative Partners wave so tough.

Holy Warz.......

Watch Coonskin.......

There was a little trepidation posting anything about this film because, well, it's a pretty hard hitting post-Blaxploitation created by a Jewish guy. Yet and still, a lot of the shit in the film is so dead on. Whatever, though...just watch it. Or not.

The Champ is Here.......



Two-Toned Short Sleeve Crew by Reigning Champ.

TOM Foolery.......

There's nothing really new, exciting or prolific about TOMS Shoes, but a pair of these androgynous bangers in a red hue would be cool.

T.N.F.P.L........

Gang Bangin.......

If you've known me for a while you'd know this song , "Southside Blood Cuz'n" by Taz Arnold has been playing on my Myspace page for the past four years. From what I know, this song was released on some Sa-Ra shit released exclusively in Japan. I've never actually had an mp3 of this until I ran acros this at HighSnobiety today. They've remastered it in the last 4 years, too (and not necessarily for the better). If there was any trepidation in downloading this due to Taz' rap skills or your disdain for Sa-Ra Creative Partners, I'm here to inform that this one's actually a good listen (click the picture for download).

Kausing Much Damage.......

I'd probably get treated a bit If I admitted KMD is my favorite rap group (along with 'Kast...and Wu-Tang doesn't count). The original members were Zev Love X, Onyx the Birthstone Kid, and Subroc (Zev's younger brother). Find some of their music and enjoy.

Nordic-Track.......

I mentioned this retailer a bit in my last post but I couldn't NOT delve into the spot a little further. A "clothing, footwear, design store, and agency aiming to introduce, nurture, and market new and exciting brands on the Nordic market," Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold may just be one of the best I've seen. I probably won't buy anything from them because the USD is weak and that stuff is high as giraffe pussy. Anywhom, here are a few of my favorites:





Denim Rucksack.......

MFSC Ramblers Pack available now @ Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold (this WILL be the new favorite online retail spot for heritage snobs all over the world)
