Yuketen F/W 2010

Yuketen F/W 2010

I’ve been waiting to put this up for a while now, I know spring/summer just hit stores but these new kicks from Yuketen are the bees knees!

Angler Moccs, Hunting Boots, Maine Guides and even that slick red parka from Monitaly!

A Look : Fighting For Spring

This morning it snowed… now its nearing 40°F

Spring is chasing down winter in NYC today.

In my opinion this is the perfect outfit for one of those days. Most likely your office is blasting the heat to compensate the low temperature this morning. So it helps to have  a lighter (I wear madras year round) shirt, some cotton cargos and dirty bucks. If you’re a wuss like me and you’re never warm enough you can wear a knit cap (one of my favorites)

Is it Groundhog day yet?

(capsule) – Yuketen

Another favorite of (capsule) for me was Yuketen.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with brand Yuketen was founded by Yuki Matsuda (above) who used to work in a “Made In The USA” shop in Japan. He had always admired hand sewn moccasins and immigrated to the US to do so. With an unbelievable commitment to quality. Yuketen’s shoes are perhaps the finest hand sewn shoes on the planet. Unfortunately quality comes with a price. Your average Yuketen is over 3 hundo. Though they do go on sale and yes exist on eBay.
