This was a very sad photo shoot for me, Kyle and the rest of the ian staff because this is Satoshi’s last week here at the store. He is heading back to Japan to become some hot shot businessman. We will sorely miss you, Mr. Kono; and appreciate all of your hard work!  Most importantly, we will miss the joy you brought into the space… thank you and we wish you the best of luck !!!

Alex Carleton is going back to his roots! Check out this NY Times article to read about his new line for L.L..Bean…

We are proud to announce the arrival of an new line out of LA, Caulfield Preparatory.

Designed by Vincent Flumiani, the line is loosely inspired by the time honoured classic, The Catcher In the Rye. Flumiani created a character similar to Catcher’s Holden Caulfied, Finnigan Nash Sinclair; and the lookbook chronicles Finn’s cross country trip from Los Angeles to New York (possibly going back to school?). The look is drawn from both coasts with tailored trousers slightly worn in, easy-fitting tees, and a wrinkled dress shirt or two…

Caulfield Preparatory  ’Manhattan Pant’ in Serpico;
$198 Washed to perfection, these chinos have such character to them with distressed edges at the waist and on the pockets; yet, will still look great with a starched white shirt and navy blazer…

Caulfield Preparatory ‘Hero’ shirt in Navy Stripe; $139 The 3/4 sleeve gives it just enough casual flair to remove the stuffiness from a fitted dress shirt…

Caufield Preparatory ‘Raleigh’ tee in Grey; $69

Caulfield Preparatory ‘Cameron’ Shirt in Navy Plaid; $145 This dress shirt is given casual flap breast pockets and then trimmed with black satin…how cool is that?

Caulfield Preparatory ‘Oskar’ jacket in Black/ Red Plaid; $198 Super lighweight nylon windbreaker to brighten up any grey and gloomy day..

Caulfield Preparatory ‘Archtype’ tee in Grey; $69 An homage to when things were much more simple…

Caulfield Preparatory ‘Pency’ crewneck sweatshirt in Navy; $149 How sweatshirts should fit: close to the body and built like a tank. Sturdy, yet soft cotton with elbow patches for that “Pre-Law” look…

They’re here! Our shipment of Stussy Deluxe has started to arrive in the store; and, we’re sooo excited about the collaboration they did with Dr. Martens!

The result is a desert boot in soft waterproof suede with leather lining that includes the Dr. Marten industrial soles; and it comes in three colors that you’ll want to covet…

Stussy Deluxe x Dr. Marten Desert Boot in Golden Brown (top); Grey Mare (mid) and Black (bottom); $130

These boots are strictly FIRE!!! Sizes are very limited; and, at such a great price I wouldn’t wait too long on these!!!

The Ventura is similar to the Fremont wash that we’ve been selling this spring, but it’s slightly darker and more lightweight…a great jean for the new rugged looks coming this fall!

We now have the ‘Kane’ jean from J Brand!

Slightly slimmer than the ‘Walker’ with a shorter rise as well (9.5″).
Nice choice for those who want a tapered leg jean that’s not too skinny…
