Style | Snow Peak

Recently I was walking in Soho and stumbled into a store called Snow Peak and was blown away by their outerwear. Originally a Japanese brand known for making camping supplies, Snow Peak has expanded into technical inspired fashion and is on their 3rd season. It's an interesting mix of minimal, outdoorsman, Japanese influence and performance wear. All executed in technical fabrics with great attention to detail and minimal branding. Needless to say I will be buying all my winter jackets here from now on. Check them out here. 

Style | Stutterheim

Stutterheim is a company from Stockholm that makes beautiful hand crafted modern raincoats. Their sleek unisex styles are made mostly from rubberized thick cotton and have sealed seams to keep you dry.  You can purchase the Stockholm coat in grey for $368 here (as well as many other colors). 

Style | Rains

Rains is a brand from Denmark focused in waterproof outerwear, bags and travel gear. Rains offers a wide range of jacket styles that expands past the usual categories of rainwear such as a bomber jacket, poncho, and both active and more dressed up styles.  Featured above is the Rains MSN Bag which you can purchase online for $74.29 here (Rains website ships international). FYI If your looking for a sleek matte black raincoat that doesn't break the bank, this is the place. 

Style | Aether Apparel

Aether Apparel is a brand focused in functional outdoorsman clothes with a sleek minimal aesthetic. At this years NYC Pop up Flea I got to see some of their stuff in person and was really impressed: high tech fabrics, high functionality, smart pocket placement (crucial for good outerwear), minimal branding, all the things that make a brand great. Featured above is the stormy Jacket which you can get for $495 here or in one of their flagship stores located in LA, NY and SF. 

Style | Freemans Sporting Club Isle of man Jacket

Fall is in the air, temperatures are dropping and its time to get your outwear together for the season. 'All weather' jackets are perfect for Fall in NY, being that they are designed to keep you the right combination of warm and dry. Freemans Sporting Club now offers their 'Isle of man' Jacket in all black. This jacket looks and feels like the jackets that make brands like Barbour and Belstaff but being that it has no exterior branding makes it just a little cooler and more mysterious. This jacket is made in the USA and can be purchased at your local FSC dealer or online for $565 here. 

Style | Iron heart Rider's Jacket

While most people wear jeans every day, being denim obsessed is more like being an art collector or having a wine collection. Iron Heart is a premium Japanese denim company from the UK that most of you probably have never heard of.

This Iron heart Rider's Jacket is made from 22 ounce black denim, something about a classic motorcycle style jacket but made in heavy black denim is just amazingly cool. It's one of those things that's going to look great when its brand new and crisp and just wear in so good over the years (22 ounce denim should take a while, thats heavy stuff).

you can pick this jacket up here at Self Edge for $500.
