NORML X UMBRO SCARF

Ottawa's Norml has teamed up with the mighty Umbro soccer brand to bring us this exclusive football club supporter scarf. Designed by Josh from the shop, the scarf features many small details lending the piece plenty of hometown flavour. Front and centre is the NORML name, with a header reading Capital City Rude Boys as well as a footer reading In Union There Is Strength. Giving the scarf a nice symmetrical look, each end features the Norml Crossed Machete logo, and the Umbro name and logo. The material used is super-soft and durable synthetic, and is plenty long for bundling up for protection from the cold and wind.

Cop yours now at
Norml.

STUSSY X 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS T-SHIRT

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada, are set to start, and Stussy has jumped into the fray with an Olympic theme t-shirt to be sold exclusively at the Vancouver Stussy shop. With a nod to Canada's favourite passtime, the design includes classic hockey images on both sides, like a goalie mask, a puck, and a mouth with missing teeth. The Olympic games and their location are also commemorated with the Vancouver, 2010, and maple leaf hits.

Nooka Time Pieces

Realizing how few options there were for displaying time, artist and designer Matthew Waldman sketched, designed, and patented his own unique linear time keeping system. He later put his designs to use on several lines of clean, simple, and effective time pieces under his brand, Nooka.
Nooka Linear Time
Standard analog and digital time formats are abundant in just about every forum of society, be it on the walls in our homes, on the screens of our computers, or on the displays of our cell phones. Nooka's time display does away with the cyclical analog and the stand-alone digital perceptions of time. Instead, a Nooka watch represents time as a series of dots, bars, and lines. This allows for a referential perspective of time at any point of the day or night. Time is acrued visually on the display, and the wearer gets a very real sense of the time that has already passed, as well as the time that is remaining. Confusing? Perhaps at first, but one quickly adapts to (and enjoys) looking at time in a whole new way. Personally, I've had my watch for only a short while, and I'm already used to the less-than-conventional display.
Nooka Style
All Nooka time pieces offer a simple and understated layout, coupled with eye-catching colours and details. Many models boast a one piece polyurethane body and band coupled with a high gloss crystal display, while others combine more classic time piece features (leather band, metallic face & buttons) with the Nooka time layout. In addition to this, all of the different models are unisex and come in a range of colours.

STUSSY x HAZE T-SHIRT

The forthcoming collab tee between Stussy and graf artist Eric Haze is a win on all counts, says this DJ. It's a nice and simple design, with prominent hits on both the front and back of the shirt (something you don't see as much these days). This one drops in mid-January in Stussy Chapter stores.Eric Haze x Stussy limited t-shirt
