How not to crease shirts into your luggage

Advices the 21 March 2013 by

You may have already experienced it when travelling. You scrupulously ironed, folded and packed your shirts into your suitcase before leaving, and everything was creased when you arrived!

packing cube

My advice: protect them by using a cardboard (rigid enough), put the shirt into it then place it in the middle of the suitcase stucked between the shoes (from the bottom) and the jackets for example (on the top). I usually put two shirts into the same box in a 69 position. Once arrived and taken the shirts out of the case, they are in a totally wearable condition!

Shirt in box

One other more elaborated solution: some luggage brands propose specific boxes allowing a better organisation of your suitcase by seperating the clothes in different comptarments. I have tried one from Tumi which looks interesting, but in practise the shirts did move anyway. My guess is: a lower size would be more suitable. Tumi calls it “packing cube” (sold between €30 and €50). What about you, any tip for this?

Timex x J.Crew watch

Selected the 18 March 2013 by

For those whose budget (or wish) can’t necessarily allow acquiring a luxury diving model, but still like nice watches, it may worth having a look on your piggy bank and see if there’s enough to grad the new collaboration between Timex and the American brand J.Crew. Both are now used to release products in common, and this time they tackled a great classic of watchmaking: the diving watch.

Timex x J.Crew Nato

The model is called Andros, like one of the most impressive coral reef of the Wold, and comes with a navy Nato typed wristband. The case is made of stainless steel and the dial is colored in navy, matching with the strap. The watch is equipped with a Japanese quartz movement, shows the date and stays waterproof up to 100m. It is not great watchmaking, but still finer, more elegant and more fashionable than a classic diving watch.

Nike x Undercover Gyakusou spring-summer 2013 collection

Selected the 16 March 2013 by

Since 2011 Nike collaborates with the Japanese designer Jun Takahashi, founder of the cult brand Undercover, to release a high quality clothing range dedicated to runners. Once again, the two of them renew this partnership for spring-summer 2013 season with a range of technical and reliable products based on Nike know-how and Jun’s particular taste for functional aesthetics. “Because running during the summer is a fight against the heat”, pieces of this collection are made of ultralight and breathable materials from head to toe, reducing discomfort during extreme running conditions. For the season, the creator chose colors according to a certain vision of the urban runner (as he has always did since the very beginning of his collaboration with Nike), then touches of brighter color were added this time: orange, lush greens, fuschias cheering up those pieces one could find colorless. In more concrete words, the collection is made of windunners, t-shirts, shorts and pushers, then two models of running shoes: the Lunarspider LT+3 (with a crazy orange colorway) and the Lunarglide 4.

Midnight breeze

Looks the 15 March 2013 by

Lyon, city of bridges stucked between Saone and Rhone, a true story. We could realise it during our week-end there at the beginning of February. Heading to Saint-Georges bridge and its red guardrail, trench-coat on my back to face extreme weather conditions. Hell of a wind this day! Overall disappointment. In spite of these apocalyptic conditions, we did bet on elegance. A tie under a soft cardigan, loafers roaming the streets, we crossed this footbridge back and forth, avoiding cyclists and zigzagging between pedestrians. Unplanned dim light for a timelessly chic outfit.
