First Look: Jack Spade Winter 2010

Jack Spade Winter 2010

With a full array of colors, textures, and quirkiness this Holiday Season, Jack Spade should be on every man's wish-list this winter.

Jack Spade Industrial Canvas Bags

Jack Spade Industrial Canvas Anvil Duffle

Jack Spade currently has a great sale going on and their Industrial Canvas bags are among the standouts.

Dipped Industrial Canvas is a 22 oz. tarp cloth canvas constructed with 3-ply cotton yarns and dipped in rubber latex for unmatched durability. All styles are unlined and feature custom Jack Spade rivets. Industrial canvas softens and fades over time and due to the porous nature of cotton canvas, will show signs of use, which adds to the overall character of the material.

And don't forget to sign up for their promotional emails to get an additional 15% of your purchase.

Partners & Spade: Test Shot

Anthony Sperduti & Andy Spade

Although Partners & Spade was closed last week when I visited New York, thanks to Jake Davis, I can now grab some inspiration from my style icon whenever I want.

Finally after years of wishing and hoping (re: my first post), I made it to the Jack Spade store and it was everything that I thought it would be.

Jack Spade X Nautical Stripes

Deck Messenger

In addition to their Seersucker pieces, Jack Spade rolled out some nautical inspired goods that are also on sale. Happy Sailing!

As the temperature heats up, why not cool off with a little seersucker from Jack Spade. Switch your favorite leather good for one of Spade's seersucker pieces and it will politely tell your co-workers to speed things up because you have a ferry to catch at Woods Hole.

Ping Pong

Partners & Spade x K-Swiss

Although these sneakers are old news, my trip to Allentown, Pa. this weekend stirred up some memories of Partners & Spade's venture into world of ping pong. My wife's grandparents have a great ping pong table that they pull out for family outings but since its hasn't been used in a while, I offered to take it off their hands. I'm looking forward to years of great ping pong action at the Brooks household.

Long Playing with Alex Grant

Inspired by Sartorially Inclined (the birthday boy!), here's my take on "Long Playing" for your little one. "Long Playing" is a conceptual fit based on the artwork and moods of an album cover.

Get to know Matt Singer

Matt Singer's Shop

For nine years, Matt Singer worked at Jack Spade creating a wide range of items—bags and accessories, books and stationery, flyswatters and ping pong paddle covers. He left in 2009 to began his own line Singer explains,

My line consists of four bag shapes, two shirt styles and an assortment of accessories (belts, bookmarks, coasters, ashtrays, stationery, lighter covers, keyfobs, a pencil case, and a travel-sized backgammon set).

The button-down shirts and sturdy canvas bags draw inspiration from materials that improve with age—two-ply cotton oxford shirting and heavy cotton canvas. These straightforward shapes employ superior natural materials and thoughtful construction.

I'm really looking forward to watching this brand grow. And yes the shirts are made in the US.

Jack & Jimbo Bikeshop

Jack Spade Bike Shop

I don't know if they are still doing this, but Jack Spade was selling bikes for a while. Partnering up with Jimbo, (a 71-year-old retired mechanical engineer) and Landmark Vintage Bicycles, one could stop by the Jack Spade store in NY on Fridays and Saturdays to have their bike repaired or shop for a vintage one.
