I raided Singapore and these are my spoils...

Ben Sherman polo... from the Fall 2007 collection. Notice the interesting pattern that is only seen in bright light. The paper wrap has wonderful intricate details.













Cap that came with my new Gulfman...




Region 1 300 double disc Special Edition...




In the spirit of the Rugby World Cup 2007 currently ongoing in France...

A couple of Canterbury polos. These are so hard to find in KL.

Springboks World Cup Polo!










Wallabies Training Polo!
















And something which I was looking for... the Adidas All Blacks special edition jersey with the World Cup logo. Comes in a special dust jacket and hanger as well. There is one more version - the actual replica jersey that's made in NZ but that one is SGD260 and way beyond my budget. The former is Climacool material whereas the latter uses thicker and more robust Climalite cloth.






















Also I spotted something unexpected at the Adidas Originals boutique. It's a special All Blacks Originals Track Top (different from the regular one). Has an oversized fern logo and a black Adidas logo and stripes.




Of course who could forget sneakers - I finally got a pair with the Kill Bill colour scheme. A pair of Injector DX from Three Star Sixty.






















Also managed to find something I was REALLY interested in. The retro Puma Argentina OG (Limited Edition). Found a pair at the Limited Edition Vault in The Heeren. There are only 240 pairs in the world and mine is 151/240.

Don't ask me how much I spent...

Jeans??? GENES!!!

I used to be a big fan of jeans when I was a young adult. I remember I had a pair of faded 501s that I loved and I wore this pair everyday for 6 months before chucking it into a washing machine. Then when I took it out to dry, it simply disintegrated!

Anyway, I haven't found another pair that I could love up till now. I still have a few pairs of jeans in my cupboard but when I saw this pair of Evisu genes at Wondermomo at a decent price, I couldn't resist it and brought it home. Learn a bit about Evisu here.

Afaik, Evisu are only sold in Malaysia in Parkson KLCC and Wondermomo. Prices at Parkson are high because the product is still very much a premium brand. T-shirts from Evisu are around RM300-400 and the genes (that's the way they spell them in Evisuland) can go above RM1000 easily. Similarly priced jeans from Levi's would be the Limited Editions.

Selvedge denim...




Anyway, something else interesting I got recently from Wondermomo - a Japanese print short sleeve shirt from Fred Perry. I like it!







And today I saw something else I could not resist at the Adidas boutique... the new 2007 All Blacks Jersey! Well made with Climacool. The cutting is huge so it's only M sized to fit me. Love the details in the texture which shows off the fern pattern associated with the New Zealand All Blacks insignia!
