I hate carrying bags of any kind. So much so that even when I go to the beach, I usually exploit the kindness of my friends and spread my belongings amongst their totes and backpacks. But, if I ever did decide to get something to carry all of my shit (in the interest of not being a brat and having friends who still want to go to the beach with me), this Industrial Canvas Jaws Coal Bag from Jack Spade is pretty cool. I like the dipped canvas and the pop art feel of the silk-screened Jaws photo. Plus who doesn’t want to be reminded of the killers lurking beneath the waves during an otherwise relaxing day of sun and sand? Always be prepared, beachgoers. Always be prepared.

If there’s one thing I learned from this season’s awesome (capsule) shows, it’s that it takes a very specific type of man to rock the drop crotch. But, if there are two things, it’s that there is still so much out there in menswear right now really worth getting excited about. Between New York, Vegas and Paris, plus Compass for footwear and (capsule) Women’s, hundreds of brands came together to build some serious buzz and get some big exposure. Favorites like Mark McNairy (who we can thank when we’re all wearing digital camo cargo pants) lived up to the hype and relative newcomers like Norse Projects made a big impact on their own.
So since I’ve had all of 5 hours to reflect on the trade show season since (capsule) Women’s wrapped this evening, what better time than now to check off a list of some of my own personal favorites from these last five shows, after the jump.

Over the past week, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the showrooms for both Shipley & Halmos and Jack Spade to preview their FW10 collections. Head on over to We Are the Market for a closer look at both, and check back in the coming days for more sneak peeks.
