First Look: Jack Spade F/W 2010

John over at Textbook works at Kate Spade and he posted this little preview from Jack Spade's upcoming F/W 2010 collection.  It's only a small taste of what's in store, but so far so good - that waxed jacket with the two hacking breast pockets is crazy fresh and peep the down vest in that coveted "Jay-z blue" (or at least that's what my buddy in college called it).  My man Aaron Levine (formerly of Hickey and Rogues Gallery) is now over at Jack Spade heading up menswear so I'm real curious to see what heat he can bring while staying within the confines of the distinct identity a brand like Jack Spade has already established.  Knowing Aaron I have no doubt that the "new new" coming out of Jack Spade will be straight fire.  And a belated congrats to Mr. Levine on his new gig.

  3. when you type things like "crazy fresh" and "peep," are you trying to be ironic?

  4. Anon @12:11 When you type things like "when you type things like "crazy fresh" and "peep," are you trying to be ironic" are you trying to be an asshole?

  5. Didn't Aaron Levine just join the Rogues Gallery Crew? He's gone already?

  6. Aaron Levine is going to rock Jack Spade! He is perfect for the brand! Can't wait to see what tasty stuff he will do for them. Jack Spade is lucky to have a guy like Aaron behind the brand.

  7. I've tried on the coat and vest (we're going to be carrying them this Fall - couldn't be more excited) and they're perfect. I tried swiping the sample they had at the showroom, but to no avail.

    Best thing about the vest - you can roll it into a pillow-shape and it has this elastic cord to keep it rolled.
