BLK Pine Workshop have delivered a selection of rucksacks, duffle bags and totes for Autumn / Winter, all individually hand-crafted in the US using heavyweight canvas, vegetable tanned leather and military spec nylon webbing.
All of the bags are intended to wear naturally and develop character over time.
The Emil Stripe Shirt (above) is a regular fitting piece with a classic stripe design on the front, back and arms, finished with horn buttons and hidden Norse branding on the placket.
We're big fans of anything military inspired here at FSHP, so we were happy to see the Jens Canvas Shirt arrive. A heavyweight canvas overshirt, ideal for the winter months including 4 front pockets and a single single arm pocket to stash your snouts!!
In previous seasons Norse Projects have worked with Ally Capellino on a selection of bags, but this season they are flying solo with the simple Einar Backpack (above) and Kari Duffel Bag, both made of an 840D ballistic nylon with waterproof backing for all you fabric boffins out there.
The Ryan Sport Compact Jacket is a classic bomber jacket from Norse Projects created in a boiled merino wool with contrasting striped cuffs, cotton poplin lining and simple 'NP' embroidery.
The 710 from New Balance has arrived at FSHP this week, just in time for winter by the looks of things...
Taking a step away from the usual running shoe silhouette, the 710 is a modern day hiking boot for people who will never go hiking, but will look good all the same!
Made to get you through the winter months with suede and mesh uppers, leather detailing and heavy duty sole.
New Balance have been around for 40 years longer than Nike and Adidas, so it stands to reason that they know a thing or two about footwear...
The 574 is seen by some as the most sought after style from New Balance, originally released in 1988 and put together using the left over fabric from the 576.
With its boxy nose, narrow heel and high instep, the 574 is a truly iconic NB silhouette with a grey suede and nylon mesh exterior and bright orange detailing on the ENCAP sole.
Following on from the first "Fit Film" from Edwin Europe featuring the ED-55 and skater Oliver Bradley, the denim brand have now moved on to focus on the Nashville with London based stonemason Thomas Appleton; showing you that their is more to life in stonemasonry than gravestones and shop signs.

Building on last weeks delivery from Norse Projects, we have a couple more key pieces to tell you about before the rest of the collection arrives in the next couple of weeks.
