Element - Jeans & Hoody for Fall 09

The good folk over at Element thought it good to cut my summer short and send over some lines of their Fall 2009 range. At first I thought it's strange to get a couple of hoody's smack in the middle of one of the best summers we've had for years, but I was quickly reminded of how unpredictable the English weather can be and I never look a gift horse in the mouth!

These hoods are really cool to be honest, they are amazingly comfortable and really light, guess that's why they came in a few months before fall and not closer to winter. Both the 'Total Eclipse' and 'Dark Earth II' comes in 100% cotton, but the thing I like most is the hood itself is double lined as you would expect, but with a layer of jersey, not heavy spun cotton like your normal winter wear.

I've been rocking these over the last few weeks, because we have had the pleasure of God's monsoons recently and I felt a bit like Noah and his Arc, all prepared for this shit. These aren't really thick enough for the Alps, but they are perfect for a late summer night BBQ. I really love the fit and feel, it reminds me of my favourite Slap hoody that some skate obsessed female stole from me many a year ago...Biatch!

There was another surprise in my box, a dead sexy pair of dark rinse indigo jeans called the 'Aberdeen Blackout'. Summer or winter, I rarely get the pins out, so jeans are always a winner for me. They represent everything I enjoy in a pair of denims, straight fit, 2% stretch for a good Beni-Hana, dark indigo in colour and they are super soft, unlike your £40 Uniqlo sta-press bollock tearing cardboard denims that is this decades must have.

Don't get your wallet out for that crap, get hold of these instead, trust me, you'll be happy you did. I've only had them for a little while, but I can tell they're of superior quality and will last me much longer than I could imagine.
