Revdes.


With Reverse Destruction.

Berlin is a city full of small stores and new brands. Here's one of them.

Revdes is a fairly new brand that has produced a lot of nice t-shirts and hoodys. The designs make use of colors and shapes in the best of ways. Also using glow in the dark elements, you don't see that very often. Simply said, it's my kind of brand. You can see that a lot of ingenuity went into the making. And the fact that the brand is always moving forward just gives Revdes more plus points.

The designers and founders of the brand are Richi and Hans. They are starting up small but it will just be a matter of time before you can see their designs in stores close to you. If you're in Berlin, make sure that you stop by their store at Simon Dach Strasse 21. If you can find it that is. It's not the biggest of stores. You can also see the stuff on their web page revdes.com.

I should make time to get over there next week, they have some new tees that I haven't seen yet.

Good with fall. Part 1.


The Flea Market.

There are a few things that are actually good with fall and that the weather is beginning to turn into crap.

One of the nice things to do in fall is to go to flea markets. The old things, the people, the whole set up works better when the leafs are turning gold and the air is a bit chilly. The mood is something special when you get up on a Sunday with a flea market day ahead. Just drinking a coffee to get yourself up and then going straight to the restaurant for brunch. Brunching in Berlin is like a hobby for some people and the interest in this way of eating had given the city a good supply of affordable brunch menus. That all-you-can-eat mentality really works in the city.

After you have filled up on to much food and to little drink it's time to go to one of the many flea markets. And the Berliners love their flea markets. You can find them on Saturdays but on Sunday it's for real, then it's business. And people have stuff to sell. Maybe people got a bit crazy and bought to much stuff in the 80's or they simple need the money, because flea markets are big business.

If you pick the right one you will get a nice mix of normal people selling off their memory's and professionals with € signs in mind. But some of these pros are artist trying to get by or young designers that want to get there brand going. It's that mix, a smoke, a cup of coffee and the fresh autumn air that makes the Flea Market one of the really good things about fall.

The only hard thing is to manage to get up to make a day out of it. I'm usually to hung over to walk out the door at 10 in the morning on a Sunday.

A Hoody.



Sip the style.


A basic combination piece like this works almost anytime. Combined with your favorite sneakers it will not let you down. And it can be acquired at rodeo drive as well as at the suburban mall.

Why grey? Why Zip? Why not? Unlike a white jacket or hoody a grey one will not get dirty just by you sitting down on a bench. Grey will not let you down that easily. I like the zip much more than the original collage sweater or hoody. With the zip you are more flexible and if the temperature gets to high then valuable seconds can be gained. But most of all, you can sport that clean white tee you bought last weekend. Since it's all about layers.

And now as the temperatures get lower this will work under the coat or any other jacket.

The Coat.


Seriously casual.

The Coat is like the white t-shirt or the shirt, something that is needed in a wardrobe. Get the right one and you're set for some time.

Then the question is, which one? First you have to decide for when you want the coat. In other words for which season. Thin one for fall or a thicker one for winter. I would go for a thinner one. There's more possibilities with a thinner one. To get that serious casual look simple combine a t-shirt, a hoody and the coat.

There's a reason why the coat is plastered on every billboard when fall comes.

And if you have the suit to go with it, then you can really go gangster.

G Shock White.


Shock of White.

Time keeps on ticking no matter what we say or do. Still it moves in its own way. A day can move fast or slow even if it has the exact same amount of hours. And we have all broken down time to small units that can be easily counted and understood. And knowing is understanding so it's always important to know what time it is.

Casio brings up another classic with the G-Shock. The original black version has never really bin spot one. It has lacked something and felt plasticy in the wrong way. But that all went away with the white one. It's clean and it very easy to match with. Just wear something white and your there. And for the time being it's right on.

Don't forget to live in the moment, the time is now. ;)

Adidas Originals Top Ten Hi part 2


Sweet White and Blue Baby!

It's here, Sneaker Monday! Time to take a look at what is going on in the Sneaker world. What's new or what is simple sweet.

After looking around a while I realized that there is not that much happening in the world of sneaks at the moment. So why not bring something up that's bin around for a bit but is really clean. The Adidas Top Ten Hi blue on white is a very nice sneak. I have seen them out in the stores this summer, and I always stop for a second and re-think my finances. Is there room in the budget for them? This summer that answer has bin no. But the more often I walk by a pair that answer is more likely to change.

The Top Ten Hi series brings that cleanliness that I expect from Adidas. And the colors on this pair is going to be so easy to match with. The white goes with your tee or shirt and the blue will always fit to your jeans.

I wish I had this pair this weekend when I was playing in the playground that is Berlin. They would have gone perfectly with my white shirt with thin blue lines and my bluer than blue jeans. But one can't have it all... Or can I? ;)

Adidas Bag.

Sports Bag.

We all have stuff, some has more than others but we all have our share of junk. And some of this stuff is good to carry around. Hence a bag.

This type of bag might not be the most practical one but what it lacks in practicality it makes up in style. It goes perfectly with a white pair of sneaks and a white tee. I would call it a really nice summer bag. Something to carry the beers and the other beach or park things that might be needed. I think that I would need one later today when I head over to IKEA to do some food shopping. Yes they have food, food that I can't get anywhere else. To bad that it's so expensive but when your trowing a Sweden party you need the right goods.

Just Another White T-Shirt.



Sssssnake Tee.

As we all know there is a lot of Tee's out there. Here's one of them.

To wear a v-neck Tee is in at the moment. And it seems as if it has now hit the hip-hop/casual scene. Not only the followers of cheap Monday will be sporting it this summer and fall.
And this one is clean to say the least. I haven't seen that many casual wearers out side of the H&M crowd wearing v-necks, so hurry up if you want to be the first :)

Nike SB Dunk Low Premium SB


White sneaks, or off white?

New week, new sneaks, new chances. Here is one of Nike SB new releases, known as "White Gum". It is simply a clean sneak that will work for most people. The gum sole really takes it back to PE-class. Haven't seen that for a while. But this pair will stand out without being loud in the world of sneaks. And I guess that is a good thing. Well at least the combo of being discreet and standing out.

And Happy B-day to Rozbeh "USB" who kept me up with his birthday party yesterday. The guys know how to party. But hey, you only have your birthday ones a year.

And with that I say - Carpe Diem.

NIKE SB PREVIEW (HUF)


Nike SB HUF?

Welcome to a new week with The Best Stuff I See. And today is Sneaker Monday. New to the market is among other sneaks like this one. It's a classic design with colors that are very clean.

It's a lot like any hi-top sneak but since it's being dropped by SB it must have some difference to it. This sneak was launch together with four other's that all have that Nike look. It think you can get these ones over the net or you have to find yourself a Nike SB store.

And now to something completely different. The EU elections are over. Millions of people went voting yesterday. But only 43,4% of eligible voters went to the polls. That is a crappy turnout. And the really bad thing is that the right wing party's are in control of the parliament. It's not long now until we are as fare right as the U.S. We have more crises ahead of us. They will make sure of that. The only good thing is that the Pirate Party of Sweden has gotten a seat. At least that is a sign that people care about the Internet and that information should be free.

And later on when the weather gets cooler, show the hood under a jacket, pretty much any jacket will work with a grey hoody.

Not even Eagle eyes will get through a hood...
