Mitchell & Ness recently teamed up with online menswear boutique Boylston Trading Co. to produce a collaboration varsity jacket. This baseball inspired, 100% Melton wool jacket is available HERE in limited numbers.  Peep the detail of the jacket below.

It appears that several hip-hop stylists have grown to become familiar with the Play division for Comme Des Garcons. It’s evidenced in the many music videos that have the featured artist donning the iconic heart logo. Nonetheless, it’s still a quality-made garment that has simple, classic lines and still has a bit of playfulness. There are three colorways of their version offered at Odin New York. It’s simply a long sleeve v-neck cardigan made from 100% wool. They are available in solid gray, black, or navy with ribbed collar, cuffs, and waist. [via]
