Filson Gets An Update

Just in at End Clothing is this very welcome sight. Some updated versions of Filson's iconic workwear/outdoor classics. I particularly love the pockets on the Historic Shirt.

Martin Parr for Urban Outfitters

British photojournalist Martin Parr is well known for documenting the eccentricities of everyday life with a sly sense of humour. Which may not make him the natural choice for most fashion brands. However, for Urban Outfitters his quirky style seems spot-on. All of the images above were shot on location in and around the souks of Marrakech. I particularly like the Vans trainer juxtaposed with the Obama/Osama toys.

WWII Bomber Crews

Hot on the heels of Saturday's Buzz Rickson's Flight Jacket post, and a trip to the Imperial War Museum Duxford, I thought I'd share some pictures of some of the brave crews who risked their lives on missions during WWII, but looked great into the bargain.

Buzz Rickson's M421A Summer-Weight flight jacket

The M-421A was the standard issue summer-weight flight jacket for all Navy and Marine Corps pilots engaged in Pacific operations during WWII. Buzz Rickson's now offer an excellent copy of the original, just right for the coming summer months. It'll look great with a pair of aviators, even if you're just piloting a Ford Focus rather than a P-51 fighter.

It's in the details: McQueen in 'Thomas Crown'
