Original Penguin Denim

It´s no secret I´m a HUGE fan of Original Penguin. The American brand gets better and better every season and are becoming a powerplayer in the world of highstreet menswear. They have done denim for some time, but these days they are re-launhing their line of jeans with four new fits: Heritage, Rouge, Pioneer and Rockabilly. The jeans have a classic vintage feel to them and compliment Original Penguins collections of unpretentious, casual clothes perfectly. My favorites are Heritage (staight fit,slim leg) and Rockabilly (long rise, relaxed leg). Check out this cool video featuring all four fits and cool pieces from the A/W 2011 collection (including some of my favorite jackets) :

Original Penguin Outerwear

Original Penguin is one of my absolute faves! They keep getting better and better and their Autumn/Winter 2011 collection has some amazing outerwear. The Speakeasy bar is the concept behind this collection and I love that "Bordwalk Empire" feeling it has. Personally I´m obsessed with this biker/aviator hybrid, but also dig the wool varsity jacket and the plaid coat.

Nylon jackets are super! Lightweight, practical and a great way to add colour to an outfit. Get one now and layer it under your winter outerwear or mix it with a sports-coat for a fresh approach.  There are tons to choose from this season and here are a few I found online

As posted earlier, I`m really into sweatpants these days, so here is the natural follow-up on sweatshirts.

I`ve been loving these since I got one from the Viktor&Rolf for H&M collection in 2006 (still the best collaboration for men to date) and here are a few of my favourites available online now:
