Based out of Seattle, clothing brand Flying Coffin has made a small series of items available for the Holiday. The brand’s dark design aesthetic is brandished over t-shirts and crewnecks, as well as the FC Bolt New Era cap. A twist not often seen on the New Era platform is a light thermal lining, which could likely prove a perfect feature for cold winter days. To complete the package, FC chose metallic embroidery and a silver satin under visor. The latest drop is hitting Flying Coffin retailers this week and can be purchased online at FlyingCoffin.com.

Sneakerheads and Air Force 1 fans alike along the East Coast circle Black Friday, November 28th on the calendar as a DJ Clark Kent designed Air Force 1 looks to drop. Themed after the popular yearly shopping event, DJ Clark Kent stuck with the obvious associated color of black but went a special route with the use of materials and textures. In a virtually unheard of release scheme, the shoe will drop at three different locations along the East Coast of the US in which DJ Clark Kent will be on hand for each release. Starting off at Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer, the next stop will be Concepts in Boston and finally capped off at Shoe Gallery in Miami. DJ Clark Kent will be on hand at Concepts to sign boxes and hand out both Mi Gente Clothing “Black Friday” tees and the “Black Friday Massacre” CD mixed by Clark himself.

“There might be less of it, but money can still be beautiful.”

The words of current Chanel frontman Karl Lagerfeld express his views on coin design as he took part in the minting of a coin celebrating the 125th anniversary of Gabrielle Chanel’s birth. In a limited collection of four coins, two gold and two silver, the coins feature a portrait of the founder of one of the fashion world’s biggest brands as well as a large 5 on the other side. The 5 references the coin’s monetary value of €5 EUR or $6.30 USD as well as a dual meaning referencing the famous Chanel No. 5 fragrance. Of the four coins, only 99 instances of the most valuable gold (5 ounces) coin will be produced with a price tag of €5,900 EUR (approximately $7,450 USD). At this time, all 99 coins have already been claimed.
