QUADRON – HERFRA HVOR VI STAR

The Danish singer/producer duo Quadron plays a live full band version of their song Herfra Hvor Vi Star. Simply stunning.TANNERGOODS.COM
Since reading Hypebeast's feature on Tanner Goods back in March, this small Portland based leather company has been a continual inspiration for me in creative entrepreneurship. For me, Tanner Goods is a perfect example of success through building a solid brand backed by unmatched quality and linked with true heritage. I was so stoked when I learned that Tanner Goods now has its own website where you can buy direct. Personally, I am a big fan of their wallets, but my favorite feature on their site is their process slide show. Here are a few of my favorite images.

Portland General Store
Men's body care brand, Portland General Store, makes hygiene seem just as manly as taking shots, rolling your own cigarettes and climbing evergreens. In fact, you don't have to do any of these to smell like you just did... in the best way possible. From the ingredients down to the packaging, Portland General Store brings a truly cohesive brand inspired by a working mans natural inclination to "authentic, sturdy, simple and grounded" products.

"Summer Layering"
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't do much of anything on my trip to Boston and New York but hang with good people, drink till 4 am, sleep till 1pm, and eat breakfast at 2:30pm. After several impulsive purchases in Boston, I pretty much called it quits to shopping and decided to spend my money more wisely in New York (at the bar.) -Either way, it was a much needed vacation and I'm even more inspired to kick summers ass. But no worries, despite my unchecked list of "Shit to Do," preparation for a solo art show, figuring out how in the hell I'm going to move to New York in three months, and my absolute hatred for weather above 85 degrees, Layered Goods is back and will continue to grow along with me.
Thanks for reading.

The Kid Dynamite Jacket by Society
Society is a Boston based street wear brand that's been turning out some seriously chic urban styles. Upon seeing this windbreaker on the rack at Karmaloop, I was immediately drawn to the bold New England color scheme. The Kid Dynamite Jacket may sound goofy but the style is smart and totally American. I was so impressed with the smooth translation of a traditional letterman jacket into a light-weight,Spring/Summer piece, I couldn't help but to grab one for myslef! It was for sure my best ( and guiltiest) purchase of my trip. Im super excited as it completely transforms a t-shirt and jeans outfit into something way smarter, and i cant wait to try it out with a chambray shirt and kaki jeans.
Check it out on Karmaloop

GANT Rugger Fall 2010 Lookbook
There has been a whole lot of well deserved hype lately about Gant, especially with the recent opening of their pop-up shop in New York. Personally i wasn't too impressed with Gant as it seemed to be just another Americana influenced brand. It seems with the introduction of Gant Rugger's Fall Lookbook, I've found myself as excited as everyone else seems to be. Though the pieces alone are simply their own interpretations of classics, the styling is spot on. These are just a few of my favorites looks that are most relevant to my own style.
The National "Bloodbuzz Ohio"
The National - "Bloodbuzz Ohio" (official video) from The National on Vimeo.
Front man Matt Berninger pretty much defines smooth with his baratone vocals and gentlemanly swag. With High Violet already proving to be one of my favorite albums this year, The National's latest video for "Bloodbuzz Ohio" embodies classic men's style and is totally sartorial.
