Here’s a video of Souls Of Mischief in London
rocking songs from their new album with producer
Prince Paul, Montezuma’s Revenge. If you don’t
have it yet, hit up iTunes and all of your favorite
online retailers. It’s a relentlessly dope project
and exemplifies what a good album
actually sounds like.

PUBLICATIONS & DOTCOMS:

Complex – What’s not to love about this magazine/website. Great covers. Edgy, fashionable and innovative. Started by designer Mark Ecko; this site is really great and I am glad its one of the few mag sites that survived last year. Heavy emphasis on Music and Fashion. Definitely on the urban-side but they’ll surprise you from time to time. Check out the site and go buy a copy of the magazine too!

NYLON - I was introduced to this magazine by few friends of mine last year. I really like their angle. Its all fashion but with a slightly indie feel. It’s not like Vogue where it’d be all about haute couture and high fashion, but this mag/site is more about up&coming designers and labels that are fresh and purchasable for us regular folks.

Current – This is actually a TV network but they also have a good website. I am obsessed with this channel. A really great friend of mine told me about it awhile ago but it was not until recently that I finally took a minute to check it out. So finally last week I did and I have been watching hours of it every day/night….all week. There are soooo many different shows and news stories. From following Mos Def in Japan, to the Viewer Content (VC) short films where freelancers from all over the world create, produce/direct and submit their own newstories, to clips on social/foreign issues. A media outlet for the liberal-minded that a even a conservative could learn to love. If you are an aspiring writer, journalist, director/producer, and even actor/comedian, and social media genius, this is a site and network you should definitely check out!

___________________________________________________________________________

I hope you liked the designers/labels listed above. If you are a designer yourself, please email at editor.shademagazine@gmail.com and tell me about your work! Also lookout for a special DMV fashion piece next month!

Stay tuned folks, tons more to come!

Following the recent collaboration Krink X Levi’s range Carhartt have thrown together a collectors set wich includes a t-shirt, markers and screen print. The line will be released Dec 12th on Honeyee.

Carhartt WorkDry Men’s Thermal Top 2XL Black – K290 K290

Friends Link : http://astore.amazon.com/tw-huntington-20 http://astore.amazon.com/blogtool-20 http://astore.amazon.com/tw-virginia-20 http://beverlayxdooy.livejournal.com/ http://maternity.tumblr.com/

Cette semaine, dans MUST HAVE, G.M. fait tout l’inverse de la dernière fois.

Souviens-toi, précédemment, je partais d’un objet “carrément trop branché” (les BE@RBRICKS DAFT PUNK) pour finir par déblatérer sur un truc parfaitement hideux (le SNUGGIE).

Et bien aujourd’hui, j’ai décidé de faire tout à l’envers et de commencer par te présenter ça :

J’imagine déjà ton air incrédule face à ces photos…^^

Voici les caps NEW ERA x LEGO designées par Jean Charles de CASTELBAJAC.

Spécial comme accessoire non?!

Pas facile à porter, sûr!

De somptueux couvre-chefs à matcher absolument avec une paire de sneakers Jeremy SCOTT!

Histoire de s’attarder encore davantage dans un univers joyeux et ludique, façon Casimir & L’île aux enfants.

Héhé…

Avec ça, tu serais vraiment parfait lecteur/lectrice!!!

Mais finalement, après avoir bloqué quelques minutes sur ces créations assez dingues (MAGLOIRE en aurait déjà commandé deux palettes entières), je me suis dit que j’allais plutôt te présenter ce qui suit.

Histoire de renforcer un peu plus le côté “nerd hypeux” de ce foutu blog.

Il s’agit là du mange-disque (j’aime bien ce terme) CARHARTT x VESTAX Handy Trax USB Turntable.

Bien plus frais pour débarquer en soirée qu’un vulgaire IPOD TOUCH ou même un PACEMAKER!

Alors en vrai, pourquoi mon choix s’est-il porté sur ce machin?

1. Et bien déjà parce que je le trouve assez beau cet objet et aussi parce sans en posséder personnellement, j’aime bien les vinyles.

2. Et puis je kiffe également tout ce qui se rapporte de près ou de loin à cette obscure science dite du “mix” (que je n’ai malheureusement jamais su apprivoiser).

3. Enfin, je sais qu’au sein de ma horde de lecteurs, il y a de nombreux ex-disc-jockeys!

Parmi eux, je peux même t’affirmer lecteur/lectrice que certains avaient du talent! A en faire pâlir de jalousie Bob S. et la GUETTA réunis!

Mais que veux-tu? La night, les femmes, l’alcool, les smarties, tout ça, tout ça… ont peu à peu détruit leur soif de scratch et de beat juggling.

Avec cette platine super smart, voici donc de quoi peut-être leur redonner envie de tâter du vinyle autrement que via des combinaisons intégrales pour soirées à thème…

Au final, quoique tu en penses, tout ça, c’est MUST HAVE à mort!!!!!!!!

See ya.

It’s apparent that Camber don’t do funny business. There’s an enduring mystery to this sports/workwear brand that’s nicely at odds with every other brand letting the blogsphere see every inch of their inner workings down to the guts – they make great product, so hard wearing that it nearly falls into the current workwear boom that’s got your local hipster hotspot looking like dress rehearsals for ‘The Grapes Of Wrath’ with added GORE-TEX. This has been the year of the heritage range. Marketing guy spots local urchins in denim and workboots, discovers the hype blogs and realises that all they need is their old logo on a patch, Vibram on the sole and voila! They’re in the running.

In the tumble to show just how goddamn old and authentic they are, old brands are acting less like the bemused Farnklin Davis who expressed concern for Ben Davis fan Snoop Dogg around the time he was aquitted of murder charges, “I heard something about that Snoop Dogg guy getting in trouble…” or a crotchety old man chasing a young man in cropped chinos wielding a DMC-GF1 off his factory property. Nope. Now it’s all blogger tours and storytelling.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing at all – many companies must be caking it this winter from a new breed of consumer but sadly, the waxed canvas bubble will pop one day, and there’ll be brand casualties, regardless of how timeless the product is. It’s the age-old story, a long lost tribe found then corrupted by another tribe – fickle consumers with oneupmanship on the brain.

I once theorised that all the industry’s current ills go back to the day Nike retroed the Jordan 1 in 1994. I was stoned at the time of attempting to contextualise this, but after that release was treated with ambivalence by all but the clued-up and the Jordan series retros started shifting, while it certainly wasn’t the first Nike retro, the brand must have clocked the profits to be made from raiding the archive – it’s interesting the golden age of sports shoe design comes to a close as the retrospect rose. But that’s a whole ‘nother blog entry, and I’m on holiday, so I’ll stop talking shoes.

You’ll find no J. Peterman style essays, or tales of kitting out workers in days of olde on their site, but Camber are a brand with some history, well, for those of us who can remember brands like Gimme 5’s UK Bathing Ape subsidiary Very Ape printing on their thick tees circa. 1995 we know they go back to the mid ’90s at least. There were brief rumours that Camber’s thermal hoodies were the basis for Supreme and ALIFE pieces – but this has been attributed to CYC, who’ve stepped out from blank status lately with Reigning Champ and Wings & Horns (who to be fair, have been talked about regularly on forums like Superfuture for nigh-on half a decade).

We know Camber are based in Norristown, Pennylsvania and that their gear is proudly US-made. And that’s about it. Both those previous factoids would see most brands elevated to capo status in the current climate, but this one seems content to go about their business.

Savvy Japanese consumers picked up Camber sweats and gave them some magazine buzz a few years back, and any visitor to workwear mecca Dave’s in New York might have seen stacks of chunky zip-up numbers sharing shelf space with Carhartt and Dickies. A recent visit had a poor showing from Camber, and a glimpse at their website today indicates stocks are significently lower; one style and colour at time of writing. This just makes them all the more intriguing.

Carhartt’s European franchise meant they could serve dual roles as a trend and working brand well, causing some minor confusion (it’s all in the way those bad boys are cut), but without alienating either fanbase. Dickies is currently in the middle of a hunt for that trend-level scrilla, and after making some mediocre selevedge ventures since the late ’90s, finally seem to be on the right track with the excellent impending Wiliamson-Dickie numbers.

Max-Weight t-shirts do what the name suggests – a Hanes Beefy T weighs in at 6.1oz – the Max-Weight is 8oz of shirt. That’s excessive to the heavy shirt haters, but if you’re in the market for a non transparent tee, they’re a good choice. The Arctic Thermal zip-up is a flagship product for Camber – 19oz is enough to beat a man to death with one, and they’re a good winter pick. Dark green and brown are two of the best shades, and for those of you fetishising Lampo and Riri zips – fall back. You’ll get none of that for seventy bucks, but the brass eyelets and overall fit, taking in the fact they shrink by at least ten percent (something that doesn’t happen with the CYC numbers), is decent. The set in sleeves are a good length too, though a little prone to fraying over time. Again…these are, like Carhartt hoodies, despite dependabe build, seasonally disposable thanks to their pricepoint.

The contrast hi-vis one isn’t some ‘07 nu rave flashback – it’s eye-bleeding for a reason, and there’s a custom service promoted on the Camber site that offers orders that can be placed be placed “with a minimum quantity as low as 6 dozen” and the photographs show some clean examples of the factory’s commissions. Plus a mention that they do private label work too.

Camber deserves more respect, but props to the brand for keeping it real while all those around them lose their heads over the new found attention.

On a loosely related note, this blog shows a lot of promise -

www.one-percenters-clothing.blogspot.com

There’s some great bits showcased on there for the one percent who care. Holmes knitwear is quite a flashback.

And linking to an earlier point, here’s team Red Wing making plans for further domination in 2010, plus some good (underexposed) promotional videos from their European, er…wing.

Lancé dans un tour d’Europe des Carhartt shop l’artiste belge Elzo Durt fait un arrêt à Marseille pour presenter son exposition “Amen“
Si vous voulez du politiquement incorrect, de l’épouvante, de la couleur ou de la sérigraphie morbide et bien c’est du Elzo qu’il vous faut. Cet artiste bruxellois détourne nos vieux démons et “dieu” sait que nous en renfermons beaucoup. Son but : leur donner une nouvelle vie (ou une nouvelle mort, c’est au choix).Vous l’aurez remarqué il y a de la folie dans ses compositions, mais pas de folie douce, ni vaporisante, mais bel et bien du choquant, du direct, un peu comme si nous passions une goutte de LSD au Spectromètre. Alors Elzo est il un psychopathe de la tablette graphique ou un génie de photoshop? Source Carhartt.
Vernissage: samedi 21 novembre a partir de 19h30 avec aux platines  Dj Did ( virgo music) + free drink
Exposition du 21 novembre au 10 décembre 2009
CARHARTT SHOP marseille 51 rue sainte 13001

C’est aussi l’occasion de se rappeler un bon souvenir: Le 13 aout 09 la soirée Carhartt à la Buvette D*I*S*C*O… Téléchargez les mix de Djel aka Diamond Cutter et Dj Did:  –> Part 1  ICI –> Part 2  ICI

We love new gadgets, and this Carhartt x Vestax joint is crazzzzzyyyyy!  Can we say mobile DJ?

Made with a tough plastic casing and the capability to operate at angles of up to 90 degrees make the Handy Trax player fit for universal use. On top of this, a stereo line-out makes hooking it up to your hi-fi system at home easy and a mini line-in jack also allows you to connect external devices such as MP3 players. If you prefer to listen to your music digitally but own a large analogue collection, you can easily transform your vinyl into binary code via the newly integrated USB port.

The Carhartt x Vestax Handy Trax USB Turntable will be released mid December.

We’re happy to share this fabulous pink post by Kelly Teh in Paris. Kelly wears…

Hat from Aldo
T-Shirt from Uniqlo
Jumper from H&M
Jeans by Carhartt
Hand warmers (Essential for a HOBO) were given for free + many Hobo points
Pink wall props by Oops! Hostel, Paris.

“Well the picture was taken in a hostel in Paris. Very funky hostel. Check it out here http://www.oops-paris.com/en_hotel.htm . I would recommend it if any young travelers want to go to Paris and I don’t remember why I had to strike such a pose. Perhaps I had a few glasses of wine.” said Kelly.  “That’s perfect!!!” we said.

I don’t know about all of you whom have been tunning into my blog but music is a big part of our lives and this is absolutley insane idea… Manifest anything all day..

Emerging through a series of collaborations along with its streetwear label, Carhartt has seen itself find a new audience through its unique workwear aesthetic. This latest project pairs them with Vestax on a new edition of the brand’s handy trax USB, enabling listeners to transfer vinyl to their computer. Recapturing the freedom of music, the handy trax USB, with its anytime, anywhere portability allows vinyl enthusiasts to leisurely pursue their interest in analog purity with the confidence of Vestax quality. Whether a collector from fine Jazz to classics, a digger in search at garage sales or in the attic the handy trax USB will take you wherever possible. A release is expected on in mid-December through select retailers, including Carhartt stores and online through Slam Jam.

Any Mogul with an audio collection worth anything will have some classic vinyl. Vinyl so classic that you can’t find the album on cd or mp3 form. So what is a Mogul to do?

Thankfully Carhartt & Vestax heard our cries and came together to create a USB turntable that is perfect for creating those mp3 files. The handy trax USB will create the perfect copy of that rare jazz album for you, that will sound as warm the original recordings.

Via Highsnobiety

Carhartt, long known for its rugged gear and thus the choice clothing for construction workers and 90’s era, NYC rappers. Vestax, for years the go to option for pro quality DJ mixers, and turntables too.

These two companies aren’t exactly screaming synergy but nevertheless they have combined forces to drop a Carhartt branded Handy Trax portable turntable. It’s being sold via Slam Jam, so get your euros together. Vinyl forever.  [Peeped at High Snobiety]

Een tijd geleden vroeg Carhartt Streetwear om foto’s van hun teamriders. Zo leverde Daydreamer HQ foto’s van hun team riders Kaspar van Lierop en Job Willemsen. In ruil hiervoor bood Carhartt ruimte voor een portfolio aan, waar wij graag gebruik van maken. Zodoende is er nu een foto portfolio online, die hier te zien is.
