FW14 “Crossed Crocodiles Growl” Embroidered Wool “Face” Jacket
Walter Van Beirendonck
$830
Walter Van Beirendonck FW14 “Crossed Crocodiles Growl” Embroidered Wool “Face” Jacket. FW14 is yet another Walt collection featuring tribalist motifs and strong advocacy for human rights. From the season’s title, crossed crocodiles are symbols used in parts of Africa, especially with the Akan peoples, to indicate unity dating back to the 1400s. Brass or bronze were smithed into alligator charms sharing a stomach used as weights, heirlooms or novelty items. The symbol is epitomized perfectly in this translated proverb: “The crossed crocodiles have one belly but when eating they fight.”
Jacket is a complex melange blue weaved from fuzzy wool. Knit ribbing. The highlight of the jacket, the back graphic, features a high gauge crochet embroidery which uses shades of pink, teal and black to create shadows and definition. Yarn hangs loose from face to resemble facial hair. Detailed quilted lining featuring an ensemble of Walter logos.
8/10, some discolouration on the knit ribbing. Size 50 Best for a large or loose medium.

FW05 “History of My World” All Shadows Hoodie
Raf Simons
$2,400
FW05 “History of My World” All Shadows Hoodie
Raf Simons FW05 "History of My World" All Shadows Hoodie. Despite the runway being absent of the highly sought after graphics for this season, Simons looked to revisit his personal milestones in his past for the two part FW2005 collection. Raf's display to his connection to music is undoubtedly the primer to his most compelling garments. FW05 was one of the last displays of such meaning, departing from such endeavors and focusing more so on modernist, sleek cuts inspired by euro subcultures. Graphics throughout this season were labeled with cryptic lyrics from The Cure, graphics inspired by the 1982 film "Poltergeist", and even a few references to experimental musician John Cage. The hoodies, tees and sweaters were massive and overwhelming, patched with what looks like a collage of Raf's personal visual displays, with the help of peter de potter, of his inspirations and nostalgia.
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
8/10 condition. Size 46, fits massive.

SS06 Arkansas Football Varsity Moto Jacket
Junya Watanabe SS06 "Arkansas Football" Varsity Moto Jacket in Red. Many forget that Junya Watanabe's "Man" line is unlike his more focused self titled women's which roots original ideas from season to season. The 'Man' line typically reintroduces multiple themes and designs from Watanabe's time capsule which borrows or reissues from older seasons -- Most common being the "poem" designs which were released in 2001, 2005, 2008/09 and recently. The varsity theme is one of the few themes that stays unique to only two years: 2002 and 2006. The season featured nostalgic motifs from middle America varsity sports and school mascots. Pants, hoodies, tees and shirts sported graphics of said mascots and logos. Unique to this season however, a handful of these designs were printed on garments with biker details which were indicative by padded knees, shoulders and zips on limb ends to tuck boots or gloves under. Moto jacket is of a sweatshirt material. Moto details include adjustable leather waist straps, padded details, zippered pockets and wrist zips. Faded red.

Raf Simons
$585
SS05 “History of the World” Denim Blouson w/ Extended Arms
Raf Simons SS05 Washed Denim Blouson w/ Extended Arms. "History of The World" was the title of the season followed by the iconic "History of My World" released in the following fall. At this point in time Simons shifted his focus from attitudes and slogans to undergoing a bold reshaping of menswear. Collection focuses on modern, suave, early 70's german futurist cuts. This allows Raf to express his tailoring prowess and breath something new, but familiar to menswear, with some looks bordering near the sartorial. Silhouettes were precisely lean at top and wide at bottom, as with many seasons following until 2008 or so. There's no doubt that Raf Simons shaped all facets, including his underrated later era of tailoring, of menswear. Mid section sits on waist. Long arms that are meant to go past wrists. Zip pockets. Arm flap pocket on left arm.
8.5/10 condition. Size 52 and fits true.
