Our Legacy, one of our favorite brands, with whom we were lucky enough to have as our first interview subjects, has just released a shoe with the international retail juggernaut Tres Bien. The Cap Toe model is crafted in fine grain pebbled black leather with a durable storm welt. These are hand-crafted in the UK, as are many other fine pieces of footwear, and with a pebbled grain leather, the design is not entirely formal. These would pair well raw denim or black wool pants, so if you are familiar with Our Legacy’s commitment to durable goods that age to the wearer’s specifications, these are a pair of shoes that promise to develop plenty of character over the years. You won’t be able to get these anywhere else except for Tres Bien, so head over to their webstore to pick them up.

Pendleton Woolen Mills produces what many in the field consider to be among the best wool garments. In the video after the jump, Pendleton designers Rachel Turk, Nathaniel Crissman, and John Blasioli visit Pendleton’s Portland, Oregon headquarters and view the production of fabrics that they later incorporated into a special collection they call the Portland Collection. The video shows a bit of the factory where the mills produce top-tier wool patterns, which make their way onto one-of-a-kind knits and garments with a full Native American flavor that mixes with modern cuts and fits. The video features a look at the shoot for the new cookbook as well, so check out the film, directed by Chris Hornbecker, and head over to the blog dedicated to the collection to see more of true American production in action.

We at Juncture like to have you covered from parkas to footwear, but we may have never given you information about socks, until this collaborative item from Inventory Magazine and Superior Labor. These Melange Socks are crafted in Japan in the Okayama district and made of 90% Japanese cotton, 7% polyester, and 3% polyurethane. The result of the blend is a heathered look that should add a bit of pop in either the blue or red colorway. Wear these with anything from denim to khakis and give your feet some comfort while adding attention to detail that others may overlook. Available now at the Inventory Stockroom.

On the Post O’alls blog, designer Takeshi Ohfuchi (who we had a detailed interview with months ago) revealed what was, unintentionally, his first shirt for the company he now spearheads. Before there was Post Overalls, Takeshi was a design student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Takeshi already had a enviable knowledge of American vintage and for a student project, he designed this shirt, which looks like a model that many big box stores are now replicating. Takeshi was indeed ahead of his time, and in 1991, this style of pullover shirt with deadstock mother of pearl buttons, contrast stitching, and a vintage calico fabric print, is now seen in collections across the globe. He had given this shirt to a friend, who recently returned the shirt to the head of Post O’alls, which prompted Takeshi to post this one of a kind item on his blog. Click after the jump for more detailed pictures, including a shot of the first shirt under the Post O’alls brand, which is a denim model of this exact item, called the #1201 shirt.

New York’s own PRPS has been constructing quality garments for almost a decade, and the new collection shows immense growth from their early, denim-focused days. The denim has always been top-notch, using African-sourced cotton and assembled in Japan. But their collections and sensibilities have expanded, landing the brand somewhere between LL Bean heritage Americana and Japanense interpretations of Americana by heavy hitters like Engineered Garments. In this lookbook, there are many patterned wool pieces, from Fair Isle to cowichan-styled prints. Other standout items include a motorcycle jacket and military coat, both of which give the air of being slightly worn. Click after the jump to get a look at other images from the F/W lookbook.

We showed you images from the raucous release of the Adam Kimmel x Carhartt release party at Barneys in a post where we also isolated a few images from the collection. Aloha Rag recently posted some more detailed images of the collaboration which we present to you. The items still have the Carhartt appeal of utility and function while employing some of the Kimmel expertise in fabric choices. Classic work coats and hoodies get re-imaged from the inside out instead of being reshaped into something that should not bear the  Carhartt C-logo. Check out the photos from the Aloha shoot to get some ideas of how to rock this collection’s items.
