The 10 Best Style Releases of the Week

There’s no shortage of new goods rolling out of the sewing factories and onto shelves each week. Out of all the new style releases that came across our desks this week, these are the best things we saw.

Converse Patchwork Chuck 70 Sneakers

Re-issuing an archival sneaker silhouette from the 1970s using upgraded materials was probably one of the best decisions Converse has made in years. These patchwork joints might be the next.

3sixteen x Schott Jackets

A double header from specialty denim brand 3sixteen and heritage outerwear label Schott, we couldn’t pick just one.

Jacques Marie Mage White Light Sunglasses

We’re fans of Velvet Underground and we’re fans of Jacques Marie Mage, so we’re definitely fans of these sunglasses.

J.Crew Organic Cotton Half-Zip Sweater

Long live the half-zip sweater! This is by no means a style that’s hot off the factory floor, but this one’s done in organic cotton, just in time for spring.

Persol Titanium Collection

Persol’s Titanium Collection looks as good as we thought it was gonna. Made in Japan featuring titanium single-piece temples with Guilloche engraving, it’s the only thing allowed to touch my face (other those John Cale-inspired sunnies).

Salomon XT-4 Advanced

The latest season of French shoe brand Salomon has brought back its popular kicks with proprietary quicklace systems and Agile Chassis Systems for superior stability. Now, they comes with graphics.

Topman Corduroy Zip Overshirt

More zippered shirts in 2020.

Eastman Leather Clothing Tanker Boots

When Eastman Leather Company and John Lofgren come together, it’s not for nothing. These boots are reproductions of WWII boots originally designed with General Patton and are maybe just as rare.

Saman Amel Silk-Blend Shirt

It’s a polo shirt. It’s a cardigan. It’s everything.

Noon Goons Throttle Jeans

The world has enough olive drab fatigue pants and off-white painter’s pants. Noon Goons’ gives you what you really want with these all-cotton bottle green painters pants.

The Surprising New Style Trend of 2020

Originally hugging the waists of countless hikers and backpackers, the fanny pack entered the fashion zeitgeist, migrating to the shoulders of stylish sets, slung across the body. People called them shoulder bags, cross-body bags, saccoches, side bags, even messenger bags. They were all variations on a theme, each with their slight differences. The worst was undoubtedly ‘murse’, an unnecessary portmanteau akin to metrosexual, used as a veil for phobias at worse and a dated term at best. Now, we’re fully where we need to be and we’re calling a spade a spade. Read the Story

The Seberg By Jacques Marie Mage

If you’re on the market for a new frame that’s fancier than your current pair of shades, look no further than the Seberg.

The latest from luxury eyewear manufacturer Jacques Marie Mage comes as yet another testament to its unrivaled attention to detail. The company’s unparalleled craftsmanship shines through in this beta titanium frame.

The Seberg is the namesake of Jean Seberg, who starred in Breathless, one of the most iconic French New Wave staples. Like the 1960 Jean-Luc Godard picture, the Seberg is elegant, delicate, and intricately made. Jacques Marie Mage picked the perfect name for its new frame. Hopefully Masculin Féminin or perhaps even Pierrot le Fou make the cut in the company’s next brainstorming session. Why stop there, though? The eyewear maker might as well lift inspiration from a few François Truffaut films while it’s at it.

Anyhow, more about the frame. You’re looking at a ’50s-inspired silhouette that’s modernized with titanium. The result is a nuanced combination of the past and present. Other impressive details, such as the 4mm rim wires and the monoblock titanium hinge construction, take the spectacles away from conventional luxury tropes and put them in a category like no other. The sculptural brow bar is a nice touch that brings the entire look together.

For shades, shelling out $895 is no doubt a bit too much. But not if you want your frame to be as incandescent, iconic, and timeless as the film upon which it’s based. Check your fit and sizing on Jacques Marie Mage’s website now.
