No ssophomore sslump for Bblessing

To find inspiration for their clothing label's second season, Daniel Jackson and Sean Shuter turned to outdoorsmen like explorer Roald Amundsenthe first to reach the South Pole. And while the outdoorsy results aren't quite appropriate for a trip to the Antarctic, they are just as daring in spirit. Highlights include a rocker-style jean jacket with quilted lining, shirting in plaid herringbone, and coats and jackets in boiled wool. "We aim for subtle subversions of traditional looks," Jackson says. "Like dress shirting with asymmetric placket details, or an extended placket on a French Navy sweater." Something tells us Roald would approve.
