RUN OF THE MILL SHOP

Run Of The Mill is a new online shop put together by a few good men with the honorable intention of simply curating their favorite styles and pieces. Featuring design collaborations with none other than Mark McNairy, the new creative director for heritage label Woolrich Woolen Mills, their Spring/Summer lineup is small but smartly tailored.
It seems the guys at ROTM decided to knock us out with the first punch; Their first colab with McNairy is the Loden Green Suede Longwing, a deep olive suede wingtip with a natural/welted crepe sole. By adding some light leather laces, this new classic will be perfect for transitioning into fall. Personally, I can't get over the 8 pocket Navy Cargo pants by Mark McNairy New Amsterdam which at $238 might leave you with nothing to fill all those pockets with, but at the least, I'm feeling inspired to thrift a similar pair and visit the tailor.

The Field House Trusty Workshop Apron in natural w/blue

In my ongoing quest for the perfect work apron, I am extremely excited to see this design by Blackbird's Billy Bartels in collaboration with sail maker George Broom. Although the sartorial elements are undeniable, (the pinstripe denim pockets against the weathered canvas is just too smart), some of the more subtle details can only really be appreciated as a carpenter and builder, (such as the sawdust-free pocket flap and the crossing back-straps for added support.) Even as I'm currently drooling over my keyboard at this fine piece of craftsmanship, I still feel there are some modifications needed to have the perfect Display Coordinator's apron. Thus I've come to the conclusion that my only hope is to design and hopefully construct my own signature apron, complete with an energy drink koozie... not really. But In all seriousness,  if all works out, this will be my first Layered Goods design colab and hopefully lead to many more. Since this is only just an initial idea, I am definitely curious as to you thoughts and suggestions, especially those of you in Texas and might know of some local  denim/canvas or other goods supplier to reach out to. How can I take this project to the next level?  I will definitely keep you posted as I begin to outline this project and source materials.

I love the subtle pin-stripe jeans. This guy knows exactly what he's doing.

Undefeated X Generic Man: Army vs Navy lookbook & video teaser 2

Once you get past the "cheese" of the iMovie Aged Film effect, The second Army vs Navy series video teaser is actually pretty informative. Not only does it offer a sneak preview of the vintage military textiles used in the colab, but it almost acts as a simple how-to of basic shoe construction.
