Mountain Man

Text: Billy Bride


I’m back! I’ve crossed time-zones and hemispheres to bring you a message from the future! Six months in the future to be exact! So join me, take a leap of faith, and peer into my crystal ball, because Winter 2010 is calling – it’s got something to say!

So listen up, because this weeks post is a first time ever – not only will I be utilising ground-breaking time-space-continuum bridging technology to peer into our future, this is my first post that is BOYS ONLY. That’s right, Winter 2010 is a man’s world, a mountain man’s world to be more specific. Next season is all about the outdoors, nature’s rugged terrain – wood choppin’, sheep shearin’, back breakin’ man land. Forget slick tailoring, and sharp silhouettes, and be as Mother Earth intended. Pendleton, Elizabeth & James, Woolrich and Ralph Lauren bring you style from the roughhewn calloused landscapes of the old west. Worn denim, sheepskins, corduroy & melton felts are the stars of the show, with accessories like the Woolrich Buffalo Check Attache to complete the look. Check out current stock at Barneys and Opening Ceremony to get a head start on the rest of the Southern Hemisphere. Thank me later!
