The Rum Diary and Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson is in my eyes one of the best writers (along with Kerouac and Wolfe) of all.

The man himself

Having already read the book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and watched the film under the same name, I was highly anticipating the release of another attempt to capture Thompson's raw brutality via film. "The Rum Diary" I found was very different and more paced but it seemed to peak as where "Fear and Loathing" was a peak in itself (which i think was the idea).

The Film looks great according to its ad. It stars Johnny Depp as Paul Kemp and Amber Heard as Chenault. Watch the trailer.

Looks odd now but give it a chance.

The Hundreds Ties to London

The Hundreds is slowly seeping into the UK, although I still prefer to get it from the country of origin, the authentic experience. The actual Hundreds stores are far superior to any department store. See for yourself...

San Francisco

New York

But now more close to home, Size? has started to their clothing. Such as t-shirts, jumpers and one hat, poor I know, I asked in store about footwear and the simpleton behind the counter did not know that The Hundreds did shoe ware, me standing their in a pair of Hundreds shoes.
The other more creditable source for footwear is Offspring with limited sizing and stock, but Hundreds none the less.

The Story of the Nike Mags 2015

The first "Back to the Future" film was released in 1985 they proceeded to make two sequels, ending in 1990. In the second film a shoe was depicted that captured the imagination of a generation. A Nike shoe from the year 2015, the shoe had the ability to tie its own laces.



Back to the Future II (wearing the shoes)



The shoes in the film:

This year Nike has looked into the future to make the authentic shoe from the film, they have made only but 1500 pairs. Wolf & Coffee has been watching them sell off eBay http://nikemag.ebay.com/shoes they have all gone now but the money raised was astounding, all for Michael J. Fox's charity to help find a cure for his Parkinson. With the First pair selling to Tinie Tempah for more then $33,000 and most of the other pairs selling for $3000 all the way to $8000, on top of that Google promises to match all the money raised 100%.

What a way to add to the legacy.

Supreme-London

On the 22nd of September supreme opened their doors to Londoners, locating themselves on Peter St. in the heart of Soho. Getting up at 8 and going straight to the shop we did not expect the masses.

We got there at 9 am and this was what we arrived to. It took us 2 hours get round the corner. Then another 5 to actually get in the shop.

The anticipation was a killer.

We walked out the shop with one of these and the biggest smile you'll ever see, like a crazed child in a sweet shop.

A Walk Down Jermyn Street

 Another quest for inspiration, we find ourselves strolling down Jermyn St.

The bottom left were THE best cuffs on the street. Fun pair of trunks too.

Great, Great song

Bob Dylan-You Ain't Goin' Nowhere. Try turning it off!

Day Out

We started the day in Soho and Berwick Street; this was supposedly the place to go for fabrics. After scanning and browsing many different shop which all seemed to be a bit disappointing, we found ourselves in Misan Fabrics. The shop had an amazing selection of anything you would have wanted, from lace to tweed.

 We gathered our heads and gathered some samples. The paisley (bottom right) was one of our favourites. From straight on it looked like a black velvet, but from the side the pattern bounced out and revealed itself. It shouted smoking jacket.

After all that we walked out of Soho and down Piccadilly. St. James Church sometimes has a market which we decided to check out. As soon as we walked in there was this (above) an old stamp stall which inspired us all.

Hoodie and t ideas

A few more potential ideas on our clothing line, simple designs but very effective.

Pink and white barber jacket

Another fine look at a well made piece of tailoring that shows a path that wolf & coffee.co would like to explore.

Green brown bespoke herringbone

This is a green brown bespoke herringbone jacket, which is an example of something that we would like to emulate in future work. Looking closely at the stitch work and vibrant lining.

sweatshirt samples

These are a few of our very basic sweatshirt ideas, these show the front and back.
