—01. Grey acetate with green lenses.

Words

Time and time again, sunglasses made by the UK-based eyewear company Cutler and Gross have me debating whether or not I need an upgrade. While the answer is logically no, the incredibly classic styles always cause me to wrestle with my more impetuous side. I'm especially drawn to this D-Frame model: Italian-made, distinctive, and sure to stand the test of time.

—01. Burning palm logo.
—02. Adjustable strap.

Words

Although I never really got into the 'wearing your dad's old caps with thousand dollar sneakers' look, certain headwear in that category definitely captures my attention. The style and graphic help to position this piece somewhere between what an East London MC and a noisy hardware nerd would wear, which is a pretty impressive balance to strike.
