R.E.P.C.


John Woo (not the director)


I posted some Star Wars portraits a while ago; here's another awesome take on stylizing the Star Wars characters called "He Wears It" by John Woo. He writes a little bit about himself in the last image (after the jump).

Morris 2010 Fall/Winter Collection



The Stockholm-based label Morris present it's spectacular 2010 Fall/Winter Collection. In a perfect blend of collegiate inspired yesteryear with an eye for the contemporary man. This collection has probably been one of a few that has impressed me completely this year. See many more looks after the jump!

I Got My Ivy League On


So I found putting together an imaginary outfit quite enjoyable for my "Guess Who's Back" post (lame, I know), so here is what I would wear if I had the book smarts and the money to attend an Ivy League school. Again, money and where these items are sold are not a factor (I wish).

Black Scale Ostrich x Epi Card Wallets



Something a little brighter from the Black Scale camp. A very nice accent to the usual black that Black Scale does so masterfully. I already have a BS card wallet, and yes, it's black. But, maybe I should pick up one of these lovely colors.

Side note: There was a sample sale that began Friday (the 13th), I hope they still have some pieces left!

Orvis Bison Leather Football



I can't explain how excited I am for the return of football! So, why not welcome the game back with style? Made from genuine bison leather from the plains of the American West is the Orvis Bison Leather Football. It retails for $98 so I guess people won't be throwing this "bison" skin around too much. But, if it's not out of your price range, you can grab one here

It's not MAGIC, but it's still VEGAS


So I'm headed off to Vegas in the morning (without the other Rudes) and spending 4 days in the City of Sin. It's a much needed vacation before school starts up again and the daily grind get's even worse.

Vegas is bittersweet for me and the rest of the Rudes because we held SLIM hopes of attending this years' MAGIC: it's one of the biggest tradeshows that showcases a TON of great brands. MAGIC is actually being held Aug. 17-19 this year, so I'm a few weeks early! We ourselves hope to one day partake in a tradeshow of MAGIC's caliber, but in reality, that may be a few years away.

So, I'm going to try my best and relax on this 4 day vacation and come back with a re-energized mind with lots of new ideas and inspiration for our Fall/Winter drops (yes, we're already that far ahead!) and beyond. And when I do get back, we're also going to hit the ground running with our drop (hopefully) for August, getting our online shop in order, and launching our new blog RudeMind! So stay tuned!
