  1. Ryan Goslin in "Drive" is impeccable. Wish I could find some good stills of the Levi's Type 2/3 mashup jacket he has. The way the film is shot it's got this incredible indigo hue to it. Also, his quilted souvenir style jacket with knit panel inserts is badass. Had a very Mister Freedom vibe.

  3. This is actually an inspired collaboration, reminds me of older stuff where there was more than just a tag and a red colorway. Piece by piece I'd say the real standouts are the trucker variants and that vest, which looks like a nice in between layer (though I'm still leaning towards the moleskin carhartt style) Suede trucker is nice too.

  4. Hit up Borders again.

    Picked up two quick novellas and a full length

    Point Omega was a fairly fascinating sketch of a story, so sparse that it left you wanting more though.

    The Humbling was standard Roth, non-essential by any standards, but a good story none the less.
