rag & bone x Penfield Mallory Jacket

Penfield stands out for it's value. Genuine 70s American outdoor heritage. The flannel clad workwear everyman the style concious among us have had forced upon our psyche these last few years LOVES Penfield. Along with Fjallraven they've become derigeur with the post CP/Stone Island terrace yoof. SO IGNORING all that we've got a £600 collab with rag + bone. Erectizm is happy about this. Oki-Ni

[Projectizm] New Balance MIE 670

Happy New Year FANZ. Back with a vengeance. That and some filthy trainers post festive balls up. When choosing footwear on a night out I always try to imagine the messiest place I could end up in. Me and my mate Dave grossly miscalculated the NYE VIBEZ and thus my beloved NBMIE674s are looking as forlorn and dejected as WOY.

Forlorn by the ruining of my primary pub trainers and the onslaught of FYMW in the great satirical menswear blog stakes I've undertaken a risky and highly dangerous project to revitalise and update the 674s. Here's what you'll need if you want to do this yourself:

A plastic washing up-bowl, some washing up liquid and a jay cloth. Now I know these are quite hard to get hold of items and unless you're one of the lucky few who have a Tesco store in your town then I may just be wasting your time. However if you send us a DM on the old TWTR I can put you in touch with some specialist suppliers who only deal with the fashion industry direct.

The next step is very dangerous and should only be undertaken with a responsible adult in the room. Add some of the washing-up liquid to the washing up bowl and fill the bowl with warm water. The liquid will react in an incredibly complicated chemical manner and don't be surprised if it looks like the above. THIS IS NORMAL.

Next dip your jay cloth into the water/washing up liquid solution. Then vigorously rub the cloth on any dirty areas on the shoe. The dirt should come off after some effort. If you don't get it off to begin with then give it another more vigorous rub. Don't desist no matter how sore your elbow gets. *CHORTLE*.

Finally fill your bowl with some cold water and repeat the wetting cloth/vigorous rubbing/sore elbow process until you're trainers look slightly less fucked than when you started.

Voila. Oh and if there are any music bloggers reading this reading this SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT ONEOHTRIXPOINTNEVER and listen to Modern Love's finest.



And yes our kitchen floor needs a bloody good mopping I know.

Top 5 AW10 BARGAINS

In true High Fidelity style it's time for a list. Us men love lists. Making lists, reading lists, arguing over other men's SHITE lists that completely ignore stuff THAT WOULD BE ON MY FUCKING LIST.[How can they rate Good Life OVER Strings of LIFE (Top 5 Detroit songs with life in the title)!!!] Can't get enough. Now most top retailers realise that there's a recession on currently and most designers anticipated the lack of money people would have in their pocket way back when they were pricing up for this season at the height of the recession LAST YEAR. I've picked out 5 pieces the fiscally concious everyman on the British street should be able to crow bar into his wardrobe despite the onslaught of the CON_DEM_nation.

Arc'teryx Veilance Black Patrol Insulated Coat

Two jackets in one. Tremendous value. The only brand to be seen in on the terraces this season. If you want all of 6 people to clock you in your 1300 quid coat THIS is the one to be clocked in. Hi-tech meets HAUTECULTUUOOR and a snip at just under 3 weeks wages. The Bureau.

Nigel Cabourn Everest Parker.

At most times Stanley Park is about as hospitable as Everest to those this end of the A580 but more so on chilly November away days. So toggle up in this authentic vintage heritage genuine period historical reproduction from LORD NIGE OF FASHIONSHIRE. Made in England. Added bonus if yer a roadrunner as I'm told there are pieces of coyote hanging off it. . BEEP BEEP. Oi Polloi

Junya Watanabe MAN x Gloverall Duffle Jacket
"Nice Gloverall mate"
"Oh it's not a Gloverall it's Junya Watanabe x Gloverall"
"Oh the guy who played Mr. Miyagi?"

"It says Gloverall on it mate"
"No he's altered the sleeves! Only cost 5 times as much as a normal one"
*STUNNED SILENCE*
End.

MHL Staff Jacket

My Geography teacher was almost certainly the inspiration for the half arsed Scouse Geography teacher in Channel 4s early noughties drama Teachers. He was essentially an excellent rugby coach who needed to teach a subject in order to justify his presence at the school. He once forgot we'd conducted the field work for our GCSE coursework and sent us out again to waste an afternoon (although in hindsight he may have done that on purpose). He was perpetually clad in nylon and polyester offerings a la Moltisanti. He was almost certainly not into corduroy jackets or Clarks originals like most of my blogging enemies seem intent on describing this seasons corduroy resurgence. As much as I've rated a lot of MHL's offerings this jacket registers too high on the [gruffnorthernbastard]How much would my dad take the piss down the pub scale[/gruffnorthernbastard] so for that reason I'm oot.

[PROJECTIZM] Engineered Garments 19th Century Button Down Shirt

IN THE FIST OF A NEW SERIES I undertake some alterations at castle erect to update and refresh my wardrobe for the coming onslaught of AW10/11.

It wouldn't get much more wardrobe staple than if I actually stapled this shirt to my wardrobe but it's safe to say my black EGBD has seen me through the best and worst of times these last few years. The first REALLY expensive shirt I bought needs updating for the oncoming winter and is showing it's age somewhat. Here I show my fellow erectites how to bring there 19th century BDs roaring into the 21st.


Start with the right sleeve. You want to fold the sleeve back in on itself. If you do it correctly then hopefully the sleeve will ACTUALLY project back on itself into the main body of the shirt. Like so.

Repeat for the left sleeve and you should have something that ends up like this ONE I PREPARED EARLIER:


Now it gets tricky. If you have no previous experience adjusting clothing I suggest you seek professional help. You'll need to bring the right hand hem up over the right shoulder. Maintaining BOTH sleeves positions inside the body.

Again repeat for the left side:

Now it gets very complicated. You need to remove the hanger but maintain the shirt hanging. I suggest you use either have a woman hold the shirt for you or failing that a man or machine.

OK folks. We're in the home straight now. The vinegar strokes. The Rubicon is far behind us. The last piece of the jigsaw will fall into place. Rehang the shirt in its new altered form back on the hanger. LIKE SO:

I'm not sure what they call this in the world of hawt cootchaw but I am sure I'm on to a winner. Look how much more prevalent the internal detailing and fixtures of the shirt now are!

Try it on one of your shirts readers and feel free to share the results of one of your [PROJECTIZM] moments.
