We’ve all seen our share of Billionaire Boys Club T-shirts and we need to distribute our T-shirt funds wisely, but I love BBC’s Spaceman character. He’s back and this time as an outer space magician. Check out BBC’s Space Magician shirt above and a second version ahead with Mr. Spaceman running a card trick.
Common Projects have been expanding considerably with their recent baggage, wallets and sunglasses. We’re fans of pretty much everything they’ve done, but especially the original Achilles. The debut of the Achilles was a distinct moment in refined sneaker history.
Recently they came out with the Achilles Raw High Top and they look phenomenal. Slightly more subtle than their combat boots, Common Projects added some great details and textures to the Achilles High Top. Rough suede laces, contrasting soles and metal eyelets come together flawlessly.
Available at Caliroots.

Junya Watanabe has never attempted to be accessible to the masses. Their often unconventional cuts and price tags leave most people in the spectator role. Their collections as well as ongoing line for Comme Des Garcons often featured wider pants, chunkier soles and trend-averse choices that separated them from many.
Their recent Checked Blouson Jacket is a simple, refined and quiet statement. A great cut complimented with some exceptional details come together and it’s looking sharp. More detailed pictures ahead.
Available at Browns.
We are proud to announce that Handsome Clothing is now being sold at the exceptional retailer TNT (The New Trend) in Toronto, Canada. This is a perfect fit for us as we were fans of this store long before they began to carry our clothing. Since its inception, TNT has carried (and currently carries) some of the brightest fashion brands around including Comme Des Garcons, B.Son, Fred Perry, Nice Collective, ACNE, Rag & Bone, Steven Allan, Rogues Gallery and many more.
We feel privileged to be in such an established store and realize none of this could have happened without people like you. Whether you have purchased a shirt in the past, posted about us on your blog, or just stop by every now and then to see what we are up to; it all means a lot to us. Therefore, we want to send a big “Thank You” out into the world and to do this we made a little video (posted below) for all of you to enjoy.
Again, thank you for all the support and thank you for being a part of the dream.
Varsity jackets have been prominent on the scene for the last couple of seasons and now Opening Ceremony are playing their part for Spring/Summer 2010. Opening Ceremony have managed to do a better job than most with a slim cut silhouette that leaves the boxy arms and excess material behind from the varsity classic. Both colourways are looking sharp and so refined they can even be pulled off with trim shorts.
Available at Opening Ceremony.
Moscot Eyewear has been around for generations in the Lower East Side of New York, but in recent years they’ve been getting a lot more attention in the fashion scene. The store sits on Orchard Street near East Asian kiosks and minutes away from exceptional retailers including ALIFE and In God We Trust.
The ground floor of the store is a clean showroom with white walls, glass cases and one scenester employee on staff doing nothing apparently productive. One floor up is where you want to be. The scene is in stark contrast to the first floor; cluttered display cases, old Italian opticians, and framed pictures of numerous celebrities in their Moscot moments fill the space.
Above are a few of the standout pieces from Moscot, the top one being our favourite: The heritage brand has taken their oldest Miltzen shape from the 1930s and revamped them in titanium. They’re a great piece if you want a bigger shape, but something distinctly different from the plastic standard.
Check out their Common Projects collaboration that brought them to the scenester forefront as well as a Complex special on the brand.
Jean Charles de Castelbajac, often known as JCDC has released his Spring/Summer 2010 line entitled Pirates, Parrots and Paradise. The new line is largely nautical inspired, featuring some bright red, white and blue knitwear. The Moroccan born, Frenchman’s label can be found at exceptional retailers including Colette and Seven New-York.
Harakiri, has been “trying to deal with death with dignity” for a while. The result: an exceptional jewelry line based out of Montreal. Mireille Boucher’s Harakiri jewelry line is largely based on morbid animal imagery as a great deal of it is cast out of animal bones. She describes the line as “an attempt to catch the fleeting beauty of life…reminding us the magic from which we all came from.”
From her beginnings casting 19th Century crucifixes, she has created some exceptional pieces that seem like cousins of Pamela Love’s aesthetic. It’s an exceptional line and the fact that it’s Canadian only makes it more special to us. You can check the Harakiri Online Shop to share in the concept.
More pictures ahead.
The shop has been restocked. If you’re one of those people that been wanting some Handsome clothing but couldn’t grab anything because we were sold out, we humbly apologize for the wait and we hope you can grab a piece before we run out for the last time (yes… that means new pieces are in the works).
Thank you for your time,
Handsome Clothing Co.
Here’s a great video from Oliver Peoples for their 2010 Campaign featuring their coming eyewear collection. The eccentric video stars Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson are featured as an odd couple sporting exceptional eyewear at their estate.
“Les enfants sennuienet le dimance” (The children are bored on Sundays) has great shots from Autumn de Wilde reminiscent of Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. Simply an exceptional video full of exceptional eye-wear.
