Miansai Belts by Michael Saiger
Given how expensive their bracelets are, I'm surprised that the belts come in at such a good price point ($185 for the belts, which feature about 982 times as much fabric as the bracelets that retail for $68). Note the woven belt features a unique Miansai designed buckle, and is made in the USA.

Hershel Supply Co - Holiday 2013
So I ran in to an unfortunate situation a couple weeks back and my hotel luggage was stolen. Not the best feeling in the world, and the hotel ended up cutting a check to right the wrong, but there are certain things that can't be replaced (Swiss Army knife and leather case my pops gave me 20 years ago, Supreme Duffle Bag from 2007 collection, etc). That being said, I'm in the market for a new duffle bag/backpack set, and came across the polka dot collection from Hershel Supply Co.
I ran the bag above by wifey, and she was not a fan. Well, she was a fan, if the bag was her, but has a pre-conceived notion that polka-dots are for women.
Mrs. OSTT: I mean, it's cool, but kind of feminine, no?
Me: No, not at all. It has a sneaker compartment at the bottom.
Mrs.: But it has polka dots!
Me: And? Those aren't isolated to women.
Mrs: How many polka-dot shirts do you own?
Me: None.
Mrs: I own 4, and 2 polka-dot sweaters.
Me: (silent)
Hmmm. Aside from the fact that she obviously hasn't heard of Kwame, she might have a point. Perhaps Notorious BIG killed the fad for guys with his line from "Unbelievable", and its been a girl thing ever since.

Greg Mike - Web Shop
Despite what they say about guys with two first names, I can vouch for two. Chris Paul and Greg Mike. The latter has recently opened up a web-shop where you can buy some apparel featuring his artwork, so go ahead and show some support! Purchase here.

Best Made - Limited Lambswool Crewneck
Made by one of Scotland's oldest mills and spun from Australian lambswool, I feel like even referring to this as a crewneck doesn't quite do it justice. This is sure to go fast, so purchase here if interested.

Banksy in Brooklyn
By now I'm sure you've seen, read, or heard about Banksy's latest stunt - having his original pieces sold by a street vendor on a busy New York sidewalk. While it is no doubt interesting, it does say a lot about art and art culture (ie purchasing for the 'name' versus the 'work'). Something I've found interesting is the reception that some of his more recent pieces displayed throughout New York is getting. My favorite, no doubt, is copied below:
A stencil in East New York of a beaver seemingly perched on a fallen “No Parking” sign elicited the most entrepreneurial responses. Two men from the Brooklyn neighborhood covered it up with cardboard and charged $20 to anyone who wanted to take a photograph. In a video posted to YouTube on Thursday, one of the men explained, “Y’all wouldn’t come here, if this wasn’t here,” adding, “If you wanna take a picture, it’s gonna cost something.”
Inspired, perhaps, by shutdown-happy Republicans in Congress, he threatened to destroy the artwork if he didn’t get his way: “I could break this and go and keep doing what I’ve been doing all day,” he said, “but before we ruin it, we’d rather leave it so y’all can come and take a picture.”

Undrcrwn - Soho Champions Shorts
These shorts were made for "durability and style. Not for running faster or jumping higher. We've
tinkered with the fit, fabric and construction of this short for months
until it was perfect. There are countless unseen details that you can
only appreciate in person." Made of heavyweight mesh and lined with moisture managing poly, these are designed and produced in the USA. Pick up a pair here.

Lightning Bolt - Fall/Winter 2014
I was first introduced to Lightning Bolt when a buddy went digging in his dad's closet and stumbled on some vintage board shorts that he claimed as his own. Since then, I've checked out their flagship store in Venice, and I think we'll be seeing a lot more of them as they are expanding their horizon with their current stocklist and marketing approach. Check out their Fall collection here.

Danner x Tanner Goods - Mt. Light Mckenzie
While autumn is kicking off here in sunny Southern California, it never really gets to be 'boot season'. Tanner Goods and Danner got together to collaborate on a pair of boots made right here in the US of Rich Moc Motigo leather, that you can purchase here. Picture above shows a brand new pair (right side), and another after 6 months of wear and tear (left). Nothing like broken in leather!

Cleon Peterson x OBEY
For OBEY's latest artist series collaboration, they have teamed up with Cleon Peterson, an "LA based artist whose chaotic and violent paintings show clashing figures symbolizing a struggle between power and submission in the fluctuating architecture of contemporary society." Yep, that about covers it. Check out OBEY's interview with Cleon here.

Undefeated - Fall 2013 Collection
The military inspired looks are still coming strong in Fall 2013, and Undefeated is no different. I'm liking this signature leopard print a lot, and if the jacket above isn't up your alley, the print makes its way on to shorts, shirts, hats, and yes, even pants (shout out to Lil Wayne). Check out this rest of the Undefeated Fall set here.

Best Made Company - Custom Axe
Best Made Company has some of the most beautiful axes I've ever seen. I'm not sure that the word "beautiful" is typically used to describe an axe, but seriously, these things are amazing. I keep trying to get approval from the wifey to buy one (and its probably not going to come until we move out of Southern California), but a guy can dream, can't he? Speaking of dreams, Best Made Co has a new program where you can work with their design team to build out your own custom axe, how cool is that?! More info here.

Oran "Juice" Jones - The Rain
I can’t remember how I initially stumbled on this song – but
it happened it a couple years ago when I was at corporate grind job #1, and my
life wasn’t the same for the next few weeks. Friends and I would joke and quote
it constantly, I’d use the lines on my wife, it was great. The 80’s beat,
falsetto voice, and the “and him” lines made it a go-to song, and the spoken word
that starts around the 2:20 mark make it a classic. That being said, once I saw
the video, it was OFFICIALLY GAME OVER. The video perfectly captures the song,
and they go hand-in-hand like music video’s rarely do. Anyway, I was doing some
yard work the other day and listening to the local 80’s radio station, and when
this song came on, words can’t express how stoked I got. If you have never seen
this video (or heard the song) – please, do yourself a favor and check out the
video (posted after the jump). Shout out to Oran “Juice” Jones, a forgotten
legend.
“You’re going to find someone like me one of these days. Until
then, you know what you gotta do? You gotta get out of here with that alley-cat
coat wearing, hush puppy shoe wearing crumb cake I saw you with, cause you’re
dismissed”

Play Cloths - Panni De Gioca
You can't tell from the shirt I chose to post from the Play Cloths Fall 2013 collection, but they are really going for the high fashion meets streetwear look this season. While I'm personally not a fan of those looks, they are definitely in, and I can see the collection doing quite well for them. This basic logo t above (Panni De Gioca = Play Cloths in Italian) is more up my alley.
Shout to King Push, whose album you can stream before its Oct 8th release date here. Check out his Decoded feature after the jump.

Ambsn - Shark Attack Flannel
Who said all flannel's have to include a plaid print? It certainly wasn't California based AMBSN, whose "Shark Attack" flannel is available with the rest of their fall collection online and in store now.
