—01. Presented in burger box packaging.

Words

I have never been much of a follower of limited edition Japanese toys, but Undercover's recently reissued plush hamburger is one such collectible I'm actually contemplating purchasing.

Neighbour has just received this season’s hat styles from the New York-based brand Paa. The best thing about their headwear is how effortlessly they produce classic baseball cap designs with a unique and interesting twist. Nearly all of their hats feature some element of refinement and in this instance they’ve taken a simple 6-panel snapback and rendered it in a boucle wool blend, which adds a welcome visual and physical texture.
