Start With Typewriters

Let me start off by saying that Max of All Plaid Out is a huge reason why this blog exists. He’s been a constant source encouragement and really helped SWT get off the ground. I remember running some ideas by him about things a year or so ago, and Max really hit me get my ducks in a row. I’m quite proud and happy to present Max’s post on his father’s Levi’s Jean jacket.

Scouring the internet like I usually do I came across this jacket! Its a beautiful vintage piece from Fjallraven (y’know the company with those little backpacks?)

Its true, I really am on a camo kick right now. You might be reading this and thinking really? camo? So a few folks asked to see how I put camo in my wardrobe.

Yes, more Nigel Cabourn. I promise its my last post about him for a while (maybe..haha). I know you might be getting sick of reading stuff about him from me, but I recently stumbled upon this video he did when he was exhibiting his Ascent of Cabourn collection at the university. This was the infamous collection that put him on the map everywhere else! Check it out!

In the most recent Outdoor Style Book from Lightning (a japanese magazine), I stumbled upon a brand I had seen before awhile back called Manastash.

Yes my good buddy James from Secret Forts was kind enough to come and drop some knowledge and experience.

Heed his words folks. The man is too humble to ever ask for the credit he deserves, and he deserves all you can give him.

As much as I love outerwear like wool coats and heavy parkas, I’m getting really excited for spring. I can’t wait to strip down a few layers and spend the days outside. I’ve been scouring the internet lately looking for some picks for spring, and here is just some of  what I plan on snagging. (click images for links)

Bummer…I either lost the auction or missed the boat.
