UK brand Indcsn finally release their long awaited summer collection It may not be summer now but it doesn't matter as this collection can be worn all year round. They hit us up with their take on the camouflage craze using their own concoction of colours in the standard camo pattern with their signature team cap and it works really well. They have produced 3 versions of the camo cap, all over print, camo peak and camo with black peak pictured above.
Along with this they have brought us a new 5 panel to go along side the team cap. Titled 'X'. these caps have a printed logo on the front and are available in grey, black and snow beach and are a nice addition.
The drop doesn't just include head wear, they've also released a few t-shirts and a vest. My picks from the collection are below.
Check out the rest of the collection at indcsn.com
Canadian brand Raised by Wolves hit us with the Autumn/Winter collection. As usual the collection is very strong with a nice number of signature 5 panel's we expect from them, a range of script snap backs, cuff & bobble beanies, and some outerwear including sweaters and jackets. Pictured below are some of my picks from the drop.
One of my favourites is the Algonquin Woodland Camo cap. Even though the camouflage pattern is heavily done, it still stands out as a real good example of the camo streetwear craze.
Also in the collection is several pieces from the Muttonhead collaboration including the stylish Trip out raglan sweater pictured below.
The latest release from Nike SB are these tasty Janoski's in a camo Iguana/Black colourway, available as part of their September footwear drop.
Nike have followed up their previous items of camo apparel with these Janoski's. They are constructed from canvas with leather piping and the usual vulcanised sole.
Not everyone is into the latest camo craze, however I'm a big fan and have all ready copped a pair.
They are available worldwide from all good Nike SB dealers, but don't sleep on these, they are sure to be a collectable in the future.

Quik, a new short film by skateboarding filmer and directer Colin Kennedy. Depicting the idealistic day in the life of a skater in Los Angeles. Featuring the ever stylish and talented Austyn Gillette.
Bristol streetwear brand NVMBR have just released their first Spring/Summer drop of 2012.
This year they have worked really hard to produce some very high quality pieces. The drop may be very small but the attention to detail in the products is second to none, and its a good indication of what this brand can have to offer in future. They are yet another small UK brand really stepping up the game in quality premium streetwear and certainly ones to watch out for.
Their first of two SS12 drops includes a very nice cut & sew pocket t-shirt hand made in Bristol. It features a blue shell type patterned fabric for the pocket with a woven label to add that final bit of quality. The second item is a burgundy chino 5-Panel cap. This cap has a very fresh and clean feel with its solid burgundy colour finished with a black leather embossed front patch. It doesn't jump out at you like a lot of the crazy caps coming out at the moment but the subtlety creates a sense of quality and class to the cap.
Both items are available from nvmbrstreetwear.com but be quick as both items are produced in limited numbers.
Enclave are one of my favourite UK brands and this summer they have dropped one hell of a collection.
The quality of the products in this latest range is impeccable and is something you would normally expect from a big wealthy brand however Enclave have come through and set the bar for small UK brands.
The 'Same as Always' spring/summer collection includes a set of very impressive and well designed shorts featuring contrast pattern roll ups, available in 3 colour ways, Olive/Flecktarn, Sand/Beo-Gam and my favourite Navy/Paisley.
Other products include two tone button down shirts and an array of t-shirts with the Enclave style designs of photographic images, text and shapes.
The new collection is available from enclave-apparel.com but be quick as I can;t image the stock will be around for long.
