J Press. The Year of the Bowtie.

Fedoras, Bowties and Clarks.

This summer season is highlighted by the return of the Fedora. Classically entrenched in movie lore, the fedora was often symbolic of a Sinatra-Esque steez. Paul Newman & James Dean also highlight great actors to be seen in a fedora, and more recently the interest has been reinvigorated by music icon Justin Timberlake.

They also came out with the new Vintage Tribe Leather backpack, accented with an individual country’s flag. I’ve seen Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, China, Italy, France, Jamaica, and Great Britain. They also offer a plain Vintage Tribe Leather. Definitely a hot item, and the leather only gets softer and richer with time.

Clark’s Desert Boot are also in style, highlighted in Gap and Club Monaco lookbooks. This classically styled boot has been around since the 1950’s, and has kept its original two eyelet style and crepe sole. Comes in a variety of colours, almost 13 alternatives, and they range from leather to suede.

Finally, American Apparel has brought back the unisex Bow-Tie and dress shirt combo. Andre 3000 and D-Wade have probably rock it best from all the celebs I’ve seen to date.
