“Daddy” is designed for the grown up man. He is sophisticated from the front, yet our signature red sole shows your wild side as it flashes behind every step. Monsieur Louboutin’s take on the classic tasseled loafer is not for the “classic daddy” at all. The price is $US 995

Mr. Bathing Ape, the ongoing collaborative project between Nigo and Japanese luxury retail giant United Arrows rolls on for another season and in doing so makes yet another step forwards in refining its range of uniquely detailed formal attire.

Produced exclusively in some of Japan’s most renowned workshops and using only the most luxurious fabrics sourced from Italy, Japan and Dormeuil of Paris, the Spring/Summer 2012 collection embodies a level of attention to detail and quality craftsmanship that’s they say is rarely seen outside the world of bespoke tailoring, and who am I to argue?

This season sees the label offering a mix of formal three-button wool suiting and button-down shirts in Oxford cloth, with more casual pieces like club blazers, and shirts in chambray and broadcloth check cotton. Complementing this once again are silk ties featuring the Bathing Ape camouflage pattern, but this time in a range that also includes more muted tones like navy blue and black.

The styling falls firmly within Nigo’s love of English Saville Row and American Ivy-League style tailoring and uses streetwear elements in the detailing. I think the brand has struck the balance perfectly by the look of things here and keeping things muted makes for a much stronger collection in my mind.

Once again, it’s a bit on the pricey side but if you fancy any of what you see here and want to buy online, it’s available from the chaps at Newcastle’s End Clothing here: Mr.Bathing

Using Less Than Zero as a catalyst, the label have taken a number of looks from the film and updated them in their own unique way. Much of the detailing present is inspired by a mix of American counter culture and military surplus, all taken and made to look uniquely Neighborhood.

As well as the numerous film references, Spring/Summer 2012 also features many of the brand’s cornerstone pieces, such as their premium 14oz denim pants and the hugely popular Kendall Chino. Alongside this are their latest T-shirts, which as ever draw heavily on the iconography of US biker gangs.

Shirts are based on archive workwear and western silhouettes, and as if that wasn’t enough, there’s also the latest installment in the long running collaboration series with Fragment Design, with an innovative reworking of the Channel 7 shirt.

As you can probably tell from the images, all of the above is available from the chaps at Newcastle’s End Clothing, so to get your mitts on it, go here: Neighborhood.

This season sees the focus shift to lightweight outerwear, with their take on a classic military parka being the collection’s stand out piece. Made from a heavy-duty woodland camouflage cotton twill, the parka features a fixed hood, pair of front hand warmer slash pockets, two large lower patch pockets, and is fastened via lovely tonal buttons.

The vintage parka is another cracking piece. This time in a solid beige, the fully lined jacket features concealed zip and button closure, with a single button visible just below the collar. It also has two large buttoned external flap pockets and a single internal pocket, horn buttons, an adjustable drawstring waist for a slimmer look and an adjustable hood – a military classic with a twist.

In addition to the outerwear (and there’s a lot of great coats in the collection) is more of what we’ve come to expect from the French label – there’s some simple T-shirts, great shirts in a selection of long or short sleeves, fine Breton knits, smart suiting, great denim, some decent footwear and a couple of bag styles. Everything you’d want really.

To buy any of the above pop over to End Clothing’s website, where you can see the range here: A.P.C Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

We already presented the new Levi’s jeans from the Junya Watanabe MAN Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. Here is now a further look at the latest pieces of the collection.

Of course we are as usual excited about the line. Junya Watanabe continues to play with patchwork patterns, different fabrics and graphics and presents an interesting heritage inspired look. As much as we do like the shirting this season, we believe the outerwear, at least what releases until now, could have been a little more exciting and seems very similar to what we have seen in previous seasons. Let’s hope that will change though out the season.

Check out all new Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons MAN goods for Spring/Summer 2012, that are now in stock at Tres Bien, after the jump.
