Meet the Sartorialist

James Blake

I'm not sure what post-dubstep means but if James Blake is it, I want more. I was looking forward to seeing him at SXSW this year before I realized they took his name off the list of scheduled performers. I'm not giving up hope that he makes an appearance at one of the unofficial parties sometime during the week. Self-titled album drops Feb 7th but you should have it already. More James Blake vids over here courtesy of BBC. Be haunted.

Handmade Espadrilles by Industry of All Nations

These very same Espadrilles have been made in a small town in Uruguay since 1907, using the same materials and the same techniques. The shoes are 100% biodegradable with soles formed from a jute vegetable fiber. By working with industries native to their respective regions, Industry of All Nations is able to help employ local craftsmen and develop wealth at the micro-economic level, creating a business model for true environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

OUTLIER Tailored Performance

"At the core, Outlier clothing is about a certain freedom. A freedom to ride, regardless of the destination. You should always look like you belong inside the city, not just out on the road pedaling. A freedom to ride, at any speed you want to. Sometimes you ride slow sometimes you ride quick, but no matter how you ride, you should always look and feel fresh and clean. A freedom to ride, no matter the weather. A cyclist is exposed to the elements in a way that few other city dwellers are, and your clothing should be ready to handle whatever the sky and streets kick at it. Our garments are designed to make getting to that freedom just a little bit easier." - Excerpt from Our Philosphy, Outlier Tailored Performance
