That said, there’s one thing I am sure about: they’re totally on sale. Heavy-duty cotton twill, made to last in the USA, and 40% off at Oi Polloi. Read More »

Monitaly Camp Shorts

July 7, 2011

In Good-Things-Come-To-Those-Who-Wait news: those ridiculously nice Monitaly Camp Shorts that I / you / we have been pining for all season just went on sale at Denmark’s Norse Store (do the kids still say ‘boo-yah’?). Painstakingly handcrafted in the USA from a brawny bright red cotton twill, and boasting a near essay’s worth of details, the shorts are – IMO – some of the nicest to come out of the SS12 season. Multiple sizes are available, and orders outside the EU get an extra 20% off the sale price (double boo-yah) (sorry). Read More »

January 19, 2011

Instead of competing with the other, much better coverage of this week’s (capsule) AW/11 show, I thought I’d do a quickie round-up of (what I thought were) some of the real stand-out pieces. Full details on what’s pictured after the jump. And apologies for the crumminess of the images.
