BLVCK: Deluxe 2014 Fall/Winter "Griffin" Pea Coat / IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph / Nikon D5500: Nikon's Touchscreen DSLR / White Mountaineering x Porter 2015 Spring/Summer Polyester PVC Big Backpack


Deluxe 2014 Fall/Winter "Griffin" Pea Coat
Japanese fashion mainstay Deluxe presents the “Griffin” Pea Coat as part of its 2014 fall/winter Hi & Lo collection. Re-adapting the classic outerwear pieces for the modern-day, the double-breasted peacoat is crafted from wool and features timeless military detailing with its notched lapels and metallic frontal button-up closure. White horizontal stripe a the waist provides riffs of modernity, while “Aloha” print quilted lining continues the coat’s luxe motifs. Check out the “Griffin” Pea Coat here and look for it at Haven for $790 CAD (approximately $672 USD).
IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph
Ahead of SIHH 2015, IWC is poised to update its storied Portuguese family of watches with a chronograph. The Yacht Club Chrono is powered by a self-winding in-house caliber, developed over the course of four years. A flyback function, 68-hour power reserve, and custom chronograph display on the matte black face are the flagship details of this standout piece, while the screw-in crown helps to guarantee the piece’s 60 meters of water resistance. Releasing on the silhouette’s 75th anniversary, look for the Yacht Club Chronograph to arrive at select retailers in the coming weeks.

Nikon continues to push forward in the shrinking entry-level and mid-range DSLR market with the release of the D5500, a minor improvement upon its predecessor, the D5300. The most notable addition is the new 3.2-inch vari-angle touchscreen display, a long-awaited upgrade since Canon’s entry-level competitor, the Rebel T4i, received its own touchscreen display over two years ago. In other respects, the D5500 is identical to the D5300 — both feature a 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor, a maximum ISO of 25,600, a 39 point autofocus system, WiFi connectivity, and the Expeed 4 image processor which allows up to five frames per second. In video mode, the D5500 can shoot 1920×1080 at up to 60 frames per second. The Nikon D5500 will cost $900 USD for the body alone, $100 more when bundled with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens or $1200 in a kit with an 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 telephoto lens.
White Mountaineering x Porter 2015 Spring/Summer Polyester PVC Big Backpack
Following their 2014 fall/winter collection, White Mountaineering and Porter team up again on a bag range for 2015 spring/summer. Here, we focus on the collection’s standout piece, the Polyester PVC Big Backpack. Made from a blend of PVC and polyester, the utilitarian piece is rain-resistant and holds a plethora of articles with its bevy of pockets and compartments. Inspired by a classic hiking bag silhouette, zipper-pulls, buckle closure and strap fasteners are other functional features.
