mastermind JAPAN keeps the collaborative drops coming with a new range of limited edition Kangol headwear. Though the duo has worked together before, the new offering is ever so subtly different.
As usual for mastermind, the Kangol headwear is remixed with muted monochrome shades, placing the Japanese brand’s signature skull-and-crossbones motif front and center. The Galaxy and fuzzy Furgora Casual silhouettes are both on hand, each featuring embroidered logos at the front and back along with a few subtle touches, like a D-ring attached to the Galaxy. Warm fur and wool textiles ensure comfort amidst the frosty fall breezes. Joining the two aforementioned styles is a one-off Tropic hat launching a couple months ahead of the other two, juxtaposing the Kangol logo with “38” and “83” text as a nod to the first Kangol Day in 1983.
The special Tropic hat hits Japanese Kangol stores on August 3 for ¥5,900 JPY (approximately $55 USD), the same day that the other two models become available for pre-order. Expect the Galaxy and Furgora Casual to drop in mid-October for ¥9,300 JPY and ¥9,800 JPY apiece, respectively (approximately $87 USD and $90 USD).

With layering season right around the corner, Burberry has released a padded take on the classic flannel overshirt.
The Patchwork Quilted-Flannel Overshirt is crafted of a cotton-blend and features the British luxury fashion house’s iconic vintage check pattern in tones of beige, tan and orange. Rather than simply padding the piece, the overshirt has been quilted for a unique shape and look. Rounding up the design of the piece is a simple button-down collar and chest patch pocket.

Other details include an exposed back case, automatic movement and a 5 ATM water-resistant sealing.
The MAD Paris Red Rolex Daytona Ruby 40 Mm Watch is priced at $115,146 USD and available now at Browns’ webstore.
First seen on the Fall/Winter 2019 runway, Eckhaus Latta‘s collaborative UGGs have finally hit retailers across the globe. Appropriately, the campaign for the genderless styles launched last month ahead of the LA pre-release, giving fans plenty of time to snap up the special shoes ahead of the colder weather.
Two Block Boots and Slides are on hand, sporting familiar UGG detailing in a heightened package. Aggressive square toes transform the surfer staple into an on-trend slip-on, with sturdy suede outers that resist stains and snow alike. The classic sheepskin fleece lining remains in place, with the boots and slides alike boasting UGGs substantial rubber outsoles for extra grip on slippery surfaces.
Considering the dynamic nature of the design, the color palette is suitably muted, with one notable exception. UGG’s preferred brown tone informs one pair of the Block Boots, with another pair and matching Slide offered in neutral black for understated styling. Of course, the most overt style is clearly the white Slide lined with bold orange fleece, ensuring that the clunky slip-ons are an even more potent statement piece.
Shop Eckhaus Latta’s cozy UGG style on LN-CC’s site, with prices ranging from $340 USD to $570 USD.
