Band of Outsiders Camel Hair Polo Coat
For the fancy man with a bank account to match, the Camel Hair Polo Coat by Band of Outsiders is an ideal acquisition. Made by hand in Brooklyn and featuring a peak lapel, cupro lining, and a single back vent, the sharp-cut coat exudes moneyed elegance. Available online at Farinellis.
Band of Outsiders – Spring 2010
The formula may be similar, but Scott Sternberg’s schoolboy dress casual (not dress casual as in collared shirt and pants, but as in rumpled, unstructured suits) continues to evolve each season, expanding Band Of Outsider’s worldview. The Spring 2010 collection takes this aesthetic oceanside, though sometimes its unclear exactly which ocean he’s in. Is it late 1970’s California, with light, casual suits and dip-dyed shirts? Or perhaps it’s early 70’s Cousteau (or Steve Zissou?) in baby blue and yellow with the signature red beanie? Either way, the pieces work as well together as with most other Band Of Outsider’s pieces, giving the wearer a certain nonchalance that works anywhere.

Band of Outsiders – Fall/Winter 2009 featuring Jason Schwartzman
Unveiled in a much-applauded presentation in NY last spring, the Fall/Winter 09 collection from Band of Outsiders is cast in a new light in Polaroids snapped on the streets of LA’s Chinatown. With pose-striking provided courtesy of Hollywood jester Jason Schwartzman the line’s cinnamon-colored cord blazers and Scottish striped sweaters shed the dweeby chic of their original unveiling in these new images and adopt a looser, 70s-slanted swank. A raucous and welcome reminder that it’s not what you wear that matters, but how.

The reasonably priced chukka/deck boots are available at French online retailer Tres Bien.
Band of Outsiders Footwear at Surrender
The nerdy quirk of the Fall Winter 09 show from Band of Outsiders was a true standout earlier this spring.

In collaboration with Sperry footwear old standbys like penny loafers and boat shoes are spunked up in bold blue-on-red color combinations, or wintery wool fabrications in tonal grays.

Band of Outsiders A/W 09 Lookbook
This is probably the umpteenth time I’ve professed my adoration for the Band of Outsiders collection. The brand has caught fire this season especially from the enlisting of Kanye West (a pretty notable pop / hip-hop artist) in their ad campaign.
Hopefully, we can share this appreciation when viewing the images from the site’s lookbook (see all images after jump). What I particularly like about Band of Outsiders is the styling. It has always been about the looks in its entirety as opposed to the pieces. There are several designers trying to mimic Mr. Sternberg’s direction – some being completely successfully because I wouldn’t be able to distinguish one from another in many cases. Perhaps, chalk up their success to good advertising.
My absolute favorites include the navy blue toggle coat, all of the shoes (Sperry collaboration), and the herringbone suit.

Band of Outsiders AW09
Designer Scott Sternberg’s Autumn/Winter 2009 collection for his brand Band of Outsiders can be described as classic, refined, and youthful. The pieces of course, reflect that of the styles that come New Wave French cinema, but with its own American twist. We especially like the uniqueness of the colors, and definitely the two toggle coat in this range. It’s a definite inspiration for anyone trying out a new look, plus you don’t really need to be a Goddard enthusiast to appreciate these styles. Check out the rest of the styles at Style as well.
