Triumvir Triumphs

I recently took a look at Triumvirs Spring 09 line (I know I'm late, f you) and it was hit or miss for me. However, their Praetorian M-65 jacket was the piece that stood out the most imo. I like the clean design and the shoulder lapels. Most military inspired clothing have 'em, but with Triumvir, it's the Roman Empire that inspires their designs. That explains the studs on the left breast pocket. I guess it's to give it a more "praetorian" feel. Anyways, don't take my word for it, check out the lookbook yourself.

A Backpack for $99?!?! Hell Naw or Hell Yeah?

I love a good backpack, especially quality ones that won't rip or have a shoulder strap snap off (I'm looking at you Jansport). That is why I love The North Face. Every NF backpack I've ever owned (2) have never broken or snapped. They just got a little too old for me and a little too dirty. So, when I saw this sleek looking backpack, The North Face Base Camp Master Cylinder, I decided to blog about it (long name, I know).

It's pricey for a backpack at $99.00 retail, but I bet you would end up spending that much replacing the other crappy backpacks that break down on you for the amount of time that these bags can last. I saw these in person at Gander Mountain (a sporting goods store) and the only problems I have with these are the fact that they are white and don't have a laptop compartment. Almost every college kid I know owns a laptop. Also, white can get dirty real quick if you're not careful. But, if you like the design as much as I do and want to cop, go here.
