For all of your “remembering the 5th of November” needs, by Matthew Borgatti:

After seeing protests erupt all over the world I wanted to make something that could change the game a little. I want people to be able to protest with OWS without the risk of being fired for showing solidarity. I wanted to make something useful, portable, something that could make the biggest difference to the most people. I came up with this mask.

It’s a foldable guy fawkes bandana that can be worn as a full or half face mask. It’s printed with safe sane protesting advice about dealing with police, sharing your location, who to call in the event of legal troubles, and more.

For every bandana ordered, one will be sent to one of the Occupy branches worldwide.

Available here ($16.50). | Via

From Cool Hunting:

For Cool Hunting, 3sixteen created a series of locally-sourced wool ties in patterns we chose along with (Adrien) Chen. Made in one of the few remaining factories in Manhattan’s Garment District, the fabrics range from sharp plaids to rich solids with subtle textures woven in. We particularly dig their versatility, adding sophistication to casual ensembles and keeping more dignified looks from appearing stuffy.

Available for $80 at Cool Hunting’s online shop.

This October, Persol will release updated versions of the trademark McQueen 714s.  However, it should be noted that while you may finally be able to get a pair, you still won’t be as badass as the King of Cool.  From Esquire:

The frame comes from a single piece of acetate, broken at three points for the hinges. They then go through a finishing process that creates a seamless silhouette and extra comfortable body. The collection is based on McQueen’s three favorite color ways and limited to 10,000 handmade pieces.

This picture of explosion-y goodness is King Of Swords’ new Big Bang Hand Grenade Sword Cane, perfect for the gentleman explorer, older serial murderer, or if you’re like Nino Brown and just like to make change out of five-dollar asses.  From the product site:

Pull the pin and this baby isn’t going to blow, but it will grant you access to the magnetic compass. But that’s not all, unscrew the grenade to uncover a stainless steel sword. It can also be used without the sword drawn as a bludgeon or club.

I don’t know what you look for in a good cane, but if it’s “assault options”, you’re done looking.

Order one here.  It’ll be $30 well-spent dollars.

Miss Feeney has combined two elements of the 40′s/50′s (wearing ties, pin-ups) and applied both of them to some fine neckware that will make you look like a square just like everyone else, except your tie secretly has a naughty side, just like Janet from Accounting…who still won’t return my calls… so she’s obviously a lesbian.  From Miss Feeney’s website:

Formal dress has experienced a steady state of decline, making it increasingly difficult for the discerning gentleman to find high quality neckwear and furnishings. Miss Feeney’s seeks out 100% finest silks, and properly matches them with the correct weight liner for a tie that knots smoothly and substantially, every time. All ties are precisely matched to coordinate color and lining, then hand sewn to ensure perfection. Miss Feeney’s Finery showcases bold colors and patterns, confident combinations that align with their target audience’s snappy, stylish gentlemen of all ages. Each liner features a limited edition Girl, making Miss Feeney’s ties an elegant collectors item.

With Fall definitely hanging out and Winter around the corner, this jacket is a real nice pickup if you’re in the market for some refreshment from the usual trenches and wool coats you’re going to see.  From Uncrate:

Made from a wool and nylon blend, this long coat features a four toggle closure for a old-time nautical look, three exterior pockets, two interior pockets, adjustable button cuffs, and more. Available in tannish “Camel” or black, we’d recommend sticking with the former unless you really want to draw attention to those light tan toggles.

Get one here.  It’ll be $355.

The second part of Supreme‘s Autumn/Winter collection was revealed as a collaboration between the iconic NYC streetwear brand and Japan’s Cool Trans magazine.  Although I’ve veered away from the ironically titled “high end” streetwear brands, Supreme came correct with this offering.  They’ve been one of the best in the biz for a while and it looks like they’re still pumping out quality garments.

Patagonia brought back the wildly popular MLC (Maximum Legal Carry-On) Burrito bag for those of you that travel and would prefer your garments not look like Barbara Walters’ upper thighs.  From Patagonia:

By popular demand the famed MLC® Burrito returns. Designed to hold your clothing wrinkle-free on hangers and reduce your packing and unpacking time, this convenient carry-on garment bag folds in thirds (like a burrito!) to save space, and hangs in the closet of an airplane. The strong, internal hanging bar-and-hook system holds eight hangers and hooks to the top of a door or closet rod. Inside, four sleeve pockets keep your personal items and toiletries organized and handy. A large mesh pocket separates your shoes from your clothing. You can carry the Burrito as a briefcase or sling it over a shoulder with the soft, adjustable shoulder strap. Made with a 1,200-denier recycled polyester exterior and a 200-denier polyester liner; both have a polyurethane coating and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish.

Buy one here.  You’ll need $180.
