Our Legacy Splash Full Zip Shirt

Part of Our Legacy's SS12 'Splash' capsule collection, the full zip shirt is constructed from a soft, linen-cotton blend hopsack suiting fabric, with full front zip closure and two large patch pockets. Similar in style to Our Legacy's almost legendary 'Messenger' shirt, this is an extremely versatile piece, and can be worn as a shirt, layered as an overshirt, or simply thrown on as a light jacket in fair weather.

Alexa Chung

Beautiful, stylish, cool and very down to earth. The latter makes her even more attractive

Ursa the bear

Ursa's powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses, and her elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make her almost impervious to breakage. An enduring classic that will withstand generations of play.

Best factory applied wash?

To be clear, this is a factory applied wash, so not from wearing over time. Leave it up to the Japanese to produce a wash as perfect as this one. Via Warehouse Japan

Zakka

Zakka (from the Japanese 'zak-ka'（雑貨）or 'many things') is a fashion and design phenomenon that has spread from Japan throughout Asia. The term refers to everything and anything that improves your home, life and appearance. It is often based on household items from the West that are regarded as kitsch in their countries of origin, but it can also be Japanese goods, mainly from the fifties, sixties, and seventies.

In Japan there are also so-called Asian zakka stores; that usually refers to Southeast Asia. The interest in Nordic design or Scandinavian design, both contemporary and past, is also part of this zakka movement. Zakka can also be contemporary handicraft. Zakka has also been described as "the art of seeing the savvy in the ordinary and mundane".
