Via: HypebeastSeattle's Maiden Noir releases their Wool Mountain Jacket for their 2010 Fall/Winter collection. The jacket is Maiden Noir's take on the classic parka everybody loves. It features a wool and twill construction with a green/black two-tone colorway. As Maiden Noir tries to keep the jacket as simple as possible, it also features smaller details from the hood toggles, snap button/zipper front, and an interior waist adjustment. Locations like Haven has already been selling the $390 jacket at their webstore. DREW's Note: I swear I had a very similar jacket when I was younger. Though that jacket is very solid and clean, it's still $390. Dizzam!

The head of Project After Dark, Prodip Leung, shares the same personality as 55DSL, who tend to design their clothing from their inspiration from UFOs, monsters, and other other-worldly creatures. The collaboration of the two is a perfect pair made in heaven. The capsule collection features a varsity jacket, chambray shirts, graphic tees, and hoodies. The collection will be exclusively sold at the 55DSL store in Hong Kong through out the season. For more photos, check after the jump... DREW's Note: The thing that I love about this collection is that the collaborators created this out of what they love and not what other people love. It's hard for brands to continue to design the way they love to because of the risk of losing profits and other intangibles. As for the collection, I'm loving the jackets in this collection.
