Helly Hansen Ocean Racing Survival Suit
(01 June 2009) - Coined the "survival suit," Helly Hansen's Ocean Racing Suit offers little for average Joes whose biggest challenge is a case of the Mondays, but it will protect the brave—if not a bit insane—sailors as they race around the world, facing extreme weather conditions and dangerous speeds. A pivotal part of the off-shore racing circuit for the past 30 years, Helly Hansen's survival suit is...

Blankoat Giveaway
(06 April 2009) - Seemingly only a couch-lazing accessory, Blankoat is actually a fully functional, extremely soft coat perfect for the aforementioned activity, as well as for keeping warm during the winter months. Designed with a generous collar that drapes dramatically and can be worn as a hood (for that sexy Druid look), it's a thoughtfully and beautifully executed version of the concept. Comprised of wool from Icelandic...

(18 March 2009) - by Tisha Leung Parajumpers is a new Italian brand inspired and named for the 210th Rescue Squadron in Anchorage, Alaska. The names of each of the styles—like Gobi, Denali and Kodiak —are names of legendary missions to which the Parajumpers dedicated their jackets.

Raeburn Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection
(10 March 2009) - We had the fortunate opportunity to get a glimpse of Raeburn Design's debut of their Autumn/Winter 2009 womenswear collection, which thankfully offers plenty more of their renowned high-end jackets constructed from re-deployed parachutes and military fabrics. Even with carefully considered details like a shower-proof zip front and wind-resistant pockets to keep you going in rainy conditions, more severe weather calls for denser gear. For...

Helly Hansen Odin PCM Soft Shell: Self-Regulating Temperature Control Jacket
(15 September 2008) - Regulating body heat is always a challenge during cold weather — it's always too hot or too cold, especially when running around town from crowded subway to overheated office. Helly Hansen's Odin PCM soft shell jacket solves the problem with technology that automatically adjusts according to your body heat. Fabric called Phase Change Material uses paraffin to store and release heat when needed most....

Public School T-shirt and Jacket
(21 March 2008) - Leading the way in grown-up street wear, Public School recently released Fall/Winter 2008, their second collection. We've been into their clean cut but somewhat edgy designs since the label launched last year; the quality materials and subtle details set them apart from the rest of the rack at Barneys or Fred Segal. Their new NY Hearts Me t-shirt (not available until next Fall 2008),...

Still Life 2008
(19 March 2008) - This past winter star Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara was always blogging about his epic snowboarding trips all over the world. The snow-covered old growth terrain was always so inviting but I also took note of the brightly colored minimalist jackets that he and his crew would wear and wondered what brand they were sporting. Through a Neil Harmon photo essay on Honeyee called Still...

Distilled x Adam5-100 Jacket
(07 December 2007) - by Valery Joseph When Matty Merrill founded his line Distilled, it was with the sole intent of encouraging inspired partnerships. Working with Oakland-based graffiti artist Adam5-100, the duo produced the Adam5-100 jacket.

Nike M-65 Patchwork Jacket
(29 November 2007) - When Nike's M-65 Patchwork Jacket showed up at the CH headquarters today—reactions were mixed, but anything that generates that much controversy is undeniably appealing. In fact, no two jackets are the same because of randomly placed patchwork layouts. Produced specifically for this holiday season, the outerlayer twists the traditional concept of patchwork into a highly technical construction. Built off the same specs as the...

Make Way For K-way
(20 July 2007) - On a rainy day in Paris circa 1965, Leon-Claude Duhamel observed attentively as people rushed by in soaking wet clothes without an umbrella. It was on this day that the K-way jacket was born. Lightweight and completely waterproof, the jacket can be folded into a small, elastic belted hip bag when not in use. An instant success with first year sales of more than...

(03 November 2003) - update: January 4, 2004 I finally found a Burton Amp backpack at Paragon in NYC. So far, so good.
