Just seen our good friend Dom Hay has put together a sick little edit, all nicely shot on his brand spanking new 7D!

DQM Winter 09 Lookbook

Hit up the DQM site earlier this week to find the Winter 09 lookbook up. With roots deep in the history and culutre of skateboarding Daves Quality Meats continue to put out well thought out and honest collections. I love the look and feel of the shots, by Todd Jordan, of the DQM team as they drain and shred an abandoned pool before the sun sets on the day. Some really crisp pieces for your winter wardrobe without crossing into trendy territory.

Flatspot

Flatspot remain one of my favourite stores even though I’m down under and have the likes of General Pants to feed my insatiable need to buy fresh shit. Forever getting drops of the freshest garms you could wish to own in the northern hemisphere. This morning, my time, see’s yet another drop of some stunning stock, some heavy hitting King Stampede hats have landed, alongside a super sic Analog jacket to see you through that autumnal dump. Head to their online store, because it will in no way disapoint, along with the afore mentioned garms, they;ve got classic Carhartt staples and more…don’t sleep.
