Karmaloop [Karmaloop closed, link removed]‘s favorite Swedish chefs, the incomparable WeSC [Karmaloop closed, link removed] crew, has just hit us with a grip of it’s fall madness, featuring some crazy new denims, fresh jackets, signature tees, your favorite hoodies and some killer hats.
A departure from lines past, WeSC got all grown-folks on us with takes on the traditional fedora and newsboy caps only these gentlemen and classy ladies could come up with. Corduroy on a newsboy? We never thought so, but WeSC proved us wrong with The East Side Cord Hat [Karmaloop closed, link removed], a slick number in both black and a light brown that exudes more class than sipping beer from a wine glass. The Ricardo Hat [Karmaloop closed, link removed] (above right), WeSC’s first attempt at the fedora, has won us over immediately. It could be the heather gray or heather brown colorways, it could be the omittance of the silly ribbon-and-feather combo, but we’re settled on the fact that it’s a New Era collaboration (for serious!), meaning that this might be the first fedora to truly accommodate your odd-shaped head, dingus. Fedora fits are always so hit or miss, and thanks to WeSC, that might be a thing of the past. Oh, almost forgot – The East Side Cord Hat is a New Era joint, too. Now what’s your excuse for sticking with baseball hats?

We’re some jacket loving fiends over here at KarmaloopBlogs, and WeSC is happy to provide even less closet space for us this fall. The Hanley Japanese Selvage Jacket [Karmaloop closed, link removed] is, in our opinion, the centerpiece the drop so far featuring it’s untouchable 11.5 oz. Japanese ring-spun selvage stretch denim (98% cotton and 2% elastane – tough and flexible, like bad beef jerky but much tastier in this case). Our heads are in a whirl just thinking of the hoody combinations we’re ready to link this one up with. Same goes for The Willie Jacket [Karmaloop closed, link removed], a track jacket so hood that the prototype could have been pulled from Eazy-E‘s tomb. Loving the varsity stripes at the collar, cuffs and hem, and the embroidery at the chest featuring the Icon logo and on the back shouting out Superlative Conspiracy status is gonna match up with our locs and Compton hats nicely.

Ah, the ubiquitous buttondown. WeSC does ’em right and they hit us with a bunch of fresh, new colorways, innovative plaid patterns and that same ol’ familiar fit that has made WeSC buttondowns the Kings of the Mountain for the past few years now. The Abdon [Karmaloop closed, link removed] and Adilis Buttondowns [Karmaloop closed, link removed] are our picks of this litter, but definitely check out the rest of the WeSC buttondown [Karmaloop closed, link removed] collection and you’re bound to find your new favorite.

What can we say about WeSC tees [Karmaloop closed, link removed] that hasn’t already been said about long weekends, friends with benefits and a good high? Get ready for more of The Overlay [Karmaloop closed, link removed] and Icon Tees [Karmaloop closed, link removed] in colorways we never thought possible, new prints [Karmaloop closed, link removed] that are anything but boring or typical, ill colaborations [Karmaloop closed, link removed] and a bunch of color block [Karmaloop closed, link removed] tees that define originality.
We hereby issue an open challenge to define Japanese artist Madsaki‘s work, but in the meantime, check the collabo tee [Karmaloop closed, link removed] (above left) and sweatshirt [Karmaloop closed, link removed]. Featuring a Far East-inspired WeSC logo and a stylized lotus flower worked from Madsaki’s own “M” logo, this print is as beautiful and nearly as dangerous as the fireworks manufactured in his homeland. Frequent collaborator Stash [Karmaloop closed, link removed] is back for the fall, not to mention a few surprise hook-ups with some more big name street artists – keep an eye out.

We touched on it a bit earlier, but WeSC denims [Karmaloop closed, link removed] are simply killin’ shit – always have, always will be. The Marwin Jeans [Karmaloop closed, link removed] have been our consistent choice each season with it’s regular fit (i.e. “not nut-huggers”), Japanese ring-spun selvage stretch denim, perfect contrast stitching and button fly (the days of the zipper are numbered, mark our words). The Superlative Conspiracy has a fit for everyone, from the super-slim Alessandro Jeans [Karmaloop closed, link removed] to the roomier Standard Jean [Karmaloop closed, link removed], in all of the washes you could ever need. Put the Levi’s to the side for a while, trust us.

Since we started carrying these gems a couple seasons back, WeSC headphones [Karmaloop closed, link removed] have been going out as quickly as they have been coming in thanks on part to the surprisingly superior sound quality as well as the innovative [Karmaloop closed, link removed], original [Karmaloop closed, link removed] designs now blessing skulls across the globe. Whether you’re the active type (earbuds [Karmaloop closed, link removed]) or the kind to kick back and enjoy your sonic freakout sessions (stereo [Karmaloop closed, link removed]), WeSC has a style and sound for you to rock on with, and in so many colors that even the Crayola folks wouldn’t know how the classify these bangers.
