The cool part of that is that it exists because he wrote about the main character of Pattern Recognition wearing a Buzz Rickson MA-1, but they didn't produce an MA-1 at the time so they made one named after him.

Haven't read that, but I think they did produce one before (just not in black as written in the book). That's what I understood anyway.

I do think it's cool, though it's kind of a sign of the times. My friend bought a DEUS EX (the game) coat last year, and popular games are edging towards product placement.

I wonder why W.G decided to do this. I like it but it's really odd.

He strikes me as a pretty detail-obsessive type (he has an essay about buying vintage watches that's worth reading) and he's written tons of times about Japanese re-interpretations of American pop culture so it seems a pretty natural fit imo.

I'm 100% sure that william gibson checks into sufu every so often.

That LN-CC feature looks like it was shot on the Next Generation era Enterprise.

Are most black shoe polishes pretty much the same or is there some deviation in quality? Recommendations?

Saphir is the premium option. I dunno I've used Kiwi for years and it seemed fine. Also used the stuff that herring sent me for free and it seemed fine too. Possibly some difference between "creme" and "wax" that I don't understand.

Most black shoe polishes are similar, but not all shoe treatments are the same. Depending on your shoe you might want to use a whole host of different things - for example for a pair of very nice dress shoes you would probably remove all polish first with acetone then treat it with a layer of conditioner. After dry you'd put a layer of polish on with a brush, then let it stand before buffing it with a cloth. The really waxy tinned ones create a really good shine, but I find they can crack which is really annoying. The cream/squeezy ones seem pretty crappy when it comes to rain.

For most regular leather shoes the traditional treatment is 'dubbin' which is kind of a common name for a lot of things - I know some people prefer dubbin made of tallow and some like the stuff that has minksfoot oil in it. You can polish up dubbin and it's meant to give quite a good shine. You can get black dubbin and I've found it to be the best middle ground. I spoke to Willam Lennon (bootmakers) a while back and they suggest using dubbin but not letting it really soak in, as it can over condition leather.

For walking shoes and most boots that are oil tanned (not vegetable tanned) a lot of people like to use products that oil the boot up and waterproof it. Obenaufs is the current hype and I'm sure it works pretty well. It'll never shine up all that good though if that's what you're into, but it does make boots look really even if you dent or scrape them. Red wing have different products they suggest for each shoe, and although I've never had any Red Wings it kind of gives you an idea of what you should be looking at.

I use pecards leather dressing. People have pretty strong opinions on this type of thing if you hazard to search through Sufu and styleforum.

Smiles: I love their (vintage) collection -- totally unsurprised that this is a Spitalfields thing. It's kind of what I'm doing with my partner, though a bit different in terms of what they've come up with. I was with them ALL the way until I went on their site and their collection was all on stern looking fashion models. URGH. I have really strong feelings about this, because it's almost part of the branding, and they've styled their product so it's just going to end up looking like Bolongoro Trevor or All Saints. It's like taking product shots with vaseline all over the lens.

Edit: Just spoke to my girlfriend who reminded me we talked about these guys before. She says they're a bit too costume-y and I agree. They sell in this shop in Shoreditch, so you can kind of see the market they're placing themselves in

Honestly Bobbin, it's pretty obvious that Bolongoro Trevor is a made up name

Thanks for the info Bobbin. Pecard looks like it has a few really nice products, might have to try out their boot oil.

Uniqlo has long down coats now that look like something an EPL manager would wear on the sideline (specifically Wenger but I know some others wear them too).

[everything roden gray bought from] APC carhartt fw13 is generally pretty unremarkable other than these pants which are incredible:



End's photos show it best but they have a really cool waxed finish and the colour is really nice. Wouldn't buy them personally because of the way I view carhartt but they're pretty dope
