Workers - March

Takashi Tateno's Workers brand of Japan puts out a nice assortment of clothing every month. Normally it's slightly too workwear inspired for my liking, although always very well put together and simply just great, but this month it was a instant hit for me.

Highlights include the button down (it might be chambray or  voile or some other fabric. It could also be just a slubby oxford cotton) shirt. The triple stitch and bar tacking gives the shirt a rugged appeal, and the button down and locker loop gives makes a bit more classic and the irregularities in the weave give the shirt some character.












The tool bag is another nice feature of this mini-collection. Although I a bit crude workmanship on the leather, I'm sure it'll do it's job well.











There are two configurations of the "baker" shorts. Both of them are beautiful, but I would go for the more classic edition in military green cotton sateen. It ages well, just like a pair of fatigue pants.









To top it all they put some nice looks together.

WAYWT - 02

I tend to dress in the most boring fashion, hence I never do much WAYWT (except for one a while back). However today I received a parcel, which content made me take my socks off and go out into the gloomy weather, which later turned to snow. But I didn't care much because my feet were wrapped in the some of the best leathers known to man in the shape of a pair of penny loafers from the venerable English shoemakers, Crockett & Jones. I friend picked up on the fact, that I wanted them badly and decided to donate them to me and for that I'm forever grateful. Thank you.
