Common Projects Summer Achilles


The serial number stamp does it for me. A simple sneaker that will give you the classic look of a Samba without being a cookie cutter.

"The Layered Man" will be a new installment of profile features to Layered Goods. While the new tabs are currently under construction I wanted to give a sample as to the type of dude I'm interested in featuring. Kenji Summers is an aspiring taste maker, cool hunter, and marketing extraordinaire outta New York. His website's blog features fresh marketing ideas that illustrate a true insight into the ever evolving platforms of the industry, digital and street. Despite being a huge marketing nerd, Summers simply seems to know whats up, concerning.. pretty much all things cool. I guess that's the point huh? - A Creative visionary, innovative ideas and great style, Kenji Summers truly is a Layered Man.

Por Vovacao New Window Display

Moving Window from wwwPORVOCACAOcom on Vimeo.



I recently decided that display inspirations should and will be a big part of this blog, so consider this a first attempt. Por Vovacao is a mens wear store in Porto, Portugal. As a display coordinator and a big art and tech nerd, I'm pretty much drooling over this window scenario. The Anthropologie in me wishes there were some crazy faux mechanics going on, but i think the simplicity fits the linear, industrial concept and completely works for a mens store.

Put This On, Episode 2: Shoes by Put This On

Put This On, Episode 2: Shoes from Put This On on Vimeo.


The dudes over at Put This On finally released their second video simply tittled Shoes. While shoes are probably the most important part of a man's wardrobe, you'd be amazed how little most men know about shoe care or even tying your shoes properly. (I swear my life was truly changed at 8:18.) - Recently I vowed my next pt job would be at a shoe repair (hit me up already Rico!) so I was pretty stoaked by the feature on Willie's Shoe Repair. Willie's apprentice had some pretty great advice on how to spot a well constructed shoe, but i was most taken away by his wicked mustache.
