Odds, Sods, Inanimate Carbon Rods

Continuing with the current autumn/winter releases, we look at the best of the rest (mainly because I don't want to sound like a broken record and I'd hate to be as derivative as Trivium).

BAPE

BAPE have decided they're all about camouflage this season, with tees, hoods, shoes, caps and even long johns being released in the style. The long johns in particular are amazing, and very reminiscent of Snake Plissken and hey, if you can wear something that makes you feel like Kurt Russell, then by God you must wear it.. As expected, the items aren't cheap, with the Plissken-pants retailing for £110.

As well as the camo items, the BAPE Native styles are back in play. Personally not a fan, but needless to say they're still going to be swallowed up. Native is affecting hoods and gilets.

Shoe wise there are no outlandish BAPESta or Roadsta releases this season, with the company opting for more understated releases. The pick of the bunch is the Crapes, released in black, sax, grey and green suede colourways. They can be yours for £160.


Available now at BAPE London or from the European website.

OBEY

OBEY have had a belter of a year what with revamping their website, Shepard Fairey slowly becoming a household name and Andre the Giant still being dead... ok so maybe the latter is no cause for celebration, but you see what I mean.

OBEY are sticking with their tried and true products - visually absorbing tees. OBEY don't disappoint here, releasing familiar prints in the form of Andre and the OBEY logo in the KISS style. The pick of the bunch however come in the form of the 'Fight For Earth' organic tee (left) and the 'Power' 10th anniversary tee.

Away from tees, OBEY have gone for a more understated, almost industrial look for their accessories this season. The caps are slightly disappointing - Supreme-esque rehashes and bland trucker caps, but the Fedoras and such are strong as usual. The full-on wintery items (gloves, scarves) are also stripped back, but look sturdy and well crafted.
