Lego x The Avengers: Super

Now I'm not sure what excites me the most - the new  The Avengers film starring pretty much all the Marvel superheroes in one film, or the LEGO series which accompanies it.

You've got mini Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Captain America, Nick Fury, and Hawkeye in the new MARVEL SUPER HEROES Collection from LEGO.

The Avengers is out on May 4th.

Rapha Van Diemen's Land video: winding

Rapha have again made me want to find a mountain to ride up which can be difficult in Essex, which isn't exactly known for its undulations. Unlike Tasmania, Australia.

This is where convicts from Britain were sent in 1803 when it was known as Van Diemen's Land, then it was known as the birthplace of that Warner Brothers cartoon character. Now it is lived on, and people ride up the hills. Where better to show off Rapha's latest collection?

Safari jackets: bushwacking

Someone said recently that safari jackets were a must-have this season, so if you're going to get one you might as well get one that isn't strictly a safari jacket, such as this 1942 paratrooper jump jacket from Buzz  Rickson's, above, or the Woolrich Woollen Mills Upland Jacket in Burberry cloth, or Nigel Cabourn's canvas offering below (at Yoox)  bottom.

W-Line x Stussy BMX: rolling back the years

One look at this W-Line collab BMX with Stussy and you might well think that it's been sitting in someone's attic for the past 20 years, such is its adherance to the 'old skool' aesthetic of the first BMXs.

Just to add to that Eighties authenticity, this comes with a bar pad, and parts by the pioneers of BMX racing, such as a Kashimax saddle, NITTO handlebars and seatpost and a Dia Compe brakes.

I want my Streetbeat back.

Mister Freedom Ranch Blouse: work in progress

 

I got this Mister Freedom ranch blouse about a month ago, in all its unwashed, raw denim glory. The picture above is after one cold rinse, then worn for a couple of hours while damp. I'll update you as to its progress as time goes on.

White Mountaineering SS 2012 Dune Rover: wandering free

This is a fairly tame offering as far as White Mountaineering is concerned and all the more better for it as far as I am concerned, because this stuff has 'sell-by' written all over it on the timeless styleometer.

Take those cargo pants. I just wouldn't. But I don't mind the jacket.
