DATE Sneakers

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on September 8, 2010)


The pair of sneakers you’re seeing on the picture above and which is so similar from some Converses is called the Tender. It actually comes from DATE, an Italian sneakers brand. What’s likable on these shoes that could make you pick them above all your classic sneakers? Their purple/used color mixed with a suede material is really original and give them a vintage touch. This makes their general aspect harmonious. Isn’t it a good reason to change from the basics and wear some different shoes?

Brixton Bowler Hat

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on September 6, 2010)

Bowler hats are a standard of british “chic” clothing. Yesterday used as the way to rise socially, we can say it has become an accessory of coolness. Brixton has just released some new type of hats for the Autumn/Winter 2010 season. What can we notice about this bowler hat on the picture above? It looks particularly well made. Just know that it exists in brown color too.

This belt from the skateboard brand Globe is such a nice surprise. Looking at it, we can denote a cool vintage effect created by this fake crocodile leather crimson colored. The buckle does also look vintage with a used Globe logo. It actually makes falling my head over heels!

This jacket from Diesel Black Gold collection is particularly original and looks nice. Its deep blue color with some lighter edges are making a certain contrast which is absolutely great. About the shape: it’s double brasted with some vintage styled buttons. If you can afford this price, go for it.

Wings and Horns is a Canadian brand that produces its entire collection there. The brand uses superior materials and offer a very innovative design. These chinos look particularly well cut. Their olive color changes from an usual navy/black/grey one. You can match it with nearly everything and overall the Red Wings Ranger boots I told you about last time. As chinos are one of the essential of men’s closet, pick some quality ones.

Red Wing Boots

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on September 4, 2010)


Red Wing started making shoes in 1905. Among others, they provided boots for the US army for the two World wars. This is a formal evidence of certain quality. A century later, their collections still remains a sure bet. Seeing these boots, the army heritage is evident. They’re 100% leather made and fits their name : Ranger/work boots.

Barbour Umbrella


For those future autumn times, let me introduce you this nice umbrella from Barbour. Its tartan pattern is really making it British styled. Add it a wooden handle to contrast, and you’ve got the perfect tool to face any pouring rain.

Edwin Sweater

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on September 3, 2010)

This is such a nice piece from Edwin. Ok, they usually make jeans, but you can’t deny this sweater good lookingness. What’s likable about it? Those grey and ecru stripes first, then, the button shoulder opening. Just wear it under a peacoat and with some boat shoes and you’ll have the greatest sailor outfit ever :)

Empire’s Union T-shirt

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on September 2, 2010)

Topman has just released tees from a new brand : Empire’s Union. As their designs are very original, it’s been really hard to pick one above all. This one is called Tupello, and it’s finally my favourite one. This, because of the mixing of a human face and a star which is particularly well made. The only snag is the price which could appear expensive. But there’s a last thing you don’t know : the collection is all made in Europe.
