In admiration of the English mountaineer George Mallory, a group of men form an exploration party in quest of his camera that is said to be left behind on Mount Everest. Each collection unveils a chapter of this adventure. SS10 sees the men set off to get to the foot of their first mountain…

Designed in Japan by keen mountaineer Mitsuo, very little is known about this label. Available in just a handful of select retailers worldwide, ‘M’ is manufactured using traditional techniques in a small workshop in Japan. Natural dyed cotton is washed in the rivers by the workshop and dried under the sun on the riverbeds before being put into production; this ancient Japanese tradition is used by very few designers today. As well as their beautiful design and construction, garments have an element of purpose to them; the SS10 collection feels just right for a trek in the foothills but equally appropriate for the city too, with integrated backpacks on shirts, heavy cotton shorts and jackets forming the core of the collection.

Seriously, you all need to check out this totally exclusive brand. After popping into Coggles myself and getting the rundown from Mr. Jake Bancroft himself (Men’s buyer) I had to give him the upmost respect for scouting out these beauties. I mean, have you seen the shirts?!?!?! CRAZY.

Check out the Collection at Coggles NOW!

Fitted Hawaii have dropped another FRESH pack, the Kama Hele Backpack which looks like it can give as good as it can get. Its ruggedly beautiful. Supposedly, Kama Hele roughly translates to ‘traveler’. This pack is made of 100% military garde materials, and includes 7 different compartments. I wouldn’t be seen buying this in replacement of my beautiful Hundreds x Gravis backpack….but still…..it looks like a nice pack, of course this bag wouldn’t be Fitted Hawaii’s if it didn’t feature the line ‘Aloha Served Daily’ on it. Expect this bag to drop on Saturday, January 24th.

Many of you have heard and seen some of the earlier Pendleton Pack releases, they included some interesting Air Max 1’s and my always favorite Free Hybid Boots.

This has just dropeed at standard, so if you can get there….do.
