The trilogy is complete. Part 3 of our “Official Selections” Fall 2011 lookbook, finishes up the shop’s select offerings as a follow up to last week’s Part 1 & Part 2.

For Part 3…we went back to our core, to bring you the most “butter” photo series of the 3. With today being Halloween, which was celebrated all month long with a variety of horror-movie nights events – it’s only fitting that we present the looks with our friends masked up and ready to start a scare!

Here’s a few notes on pieces by each brand I feel deserves a little extra attention:

• 10 Deep “Gretzky” long sleeve – worn by my fellow die-hard hockey fan Andrew, the piece brings fleece comfort to the classic styling of a hockey jersey – a look that has always stood out over time. And, thanks to 10 Deep – it’s that time again!
• Rocksmith’s “Militia Hooded Buttondown” – I chose to wear myself as a crazy Captain Bald Eagle concoction. The piece is colored in that olive color perfect for this time of year and is constructed in a tough ripstop material as rugged as the song the shirt is named after, Gangstarr’s “Militia”.
• G.P.P.R. absolutely nails it with this “McQueen Jacket”, producing the perfect camouflage piece for the season. And Kenroy wore a mask with it that was a little too good of a fit.
• The “Mishka” pieces are always near and dear to us, and I think D and K-swissy sported them in the bizarro way they should be. K-Swissy wore the ultra-fiended for “Keep Watch Leggings”, while D took the “Death Adder Varsity Jacket” to a whole other level.
• Amongst Friends debuted the “First String Varsity Jacket” this season leaving many with an “Oh S—!!” reaction when people have seen it up close and personal. Alex gave this piece a try, finding it to personify the essence of classiness that is Amongst Friends.
• While a few stellar Publish pants are seen on many of the models, the piece I’m finding essential to everyone’s wardrobe is the “Graft Camo Jacket”, which acts as a light jacket or layering over-shirt. Our boy Washington brings this together quite nice as Mr. V for Vendetta!

This is the last of the Fall looks and we urge you to give the pieces that have caught your eye a try before these all disappear. Let’s see what combos you guys can put together, and feel free to come and try these on with a mask as well just for the hell of it.

Part 2 is here!! Or should I say Part Deux…

The followup to “Official Selections” Fall 2011 – Part 1. This time around we’re exposing you to the other side of the game, bringing out the more casual and mature (or is it grown and sexy?) side of street-wear. Whatever it may be, this lookbook features a ton of dopeness curated by Extra Butter for your viewing pleasure.

No matter the occasion, these everyday Fall selections are guaranteed to keep you looking like the accomplished and morally advanced individuals you are. Yet again helping you to achieve these distinguished looks are the likes of Amongst Friends, G.P.P.R., Mishka, Publish, Rocksmith, and 10Deep. You should know that when these brands combine, they form like a street-wear donning Voltron, giving you a complete and unique style that never fails. Take a look at some of the highlights from Part 2:

• “Ranch Hand” Denim Jacket by 10Deep
• Wool Tweed & Flannel Lined “Upstate” Vest by Amongst Friends
• “Skyline” Shawlneck Caridgan by Rocksmith
• “Patchwork” Poplin by Mishka
• “Leroy” Bomber Jacket & “Endo” Chinos by Publish
• “Rhodes” Long Sleeve Sweater & “Cro Mags” Twill Pants by G.P.P.R.

You need boots? Well we got boots! Are buddies over at Amongst Friends first expanded into the realm of footwear last Fall with their AF  Field Boot which was well received amongst their fans. So this Fall their foot wear collection has significantly expanded into a few more styles, all of which are executed with that signature Amongst Friends attention to detail.

This Fall ’11 collection has some of the fan faves from previous seasons with the addition of a little something new for this Autumn. The Fall collection features an all black take on the ever popular AF Field Boot, the black upper if composed of a blend of black tumbled leather and nylon which is off set by an off-white sole. The collection also features the return of the Ducky shoe, Amongst Friends’ casual take on the classic duck boot. This season’s Tan and Brown colorway should be a sure shot for this Fall, the Tan nubuck collar works well with the Brown tumbled leather toe. All of the shoe sits upon a comfy white rubber midsole. Both of these styles come Winter ready with Thinsulate linings which are sure to keep your feet warm throughout those chilly months.

The treat in this collection might be the the new AF Field Boot Mid which takes a mid cut boot approach to the AF Field Boot. This style is featured in an all Grey nubuck colorway with Navy accents found on the laces and the midsole. The Field Boot Mid has a few key details which certainly adds to the appeal of the boot, such as the antique brass lace locks and the half -zip top which stylishly makes for a great fit.

What better way to celebrate yesterday, you know…the first day of summer, than with a new collection of Amongst Friends. AF brings the summer look the way they bring every seasonal collection, with class. Their lightweight cotton photo-print tees, henley tanktops, short sleeve button-downs, a pair of shorts, and a straw fedora (New Era) hat! The photo tees capture moments of camaraderie between cultural icons, and the tanktops incorporate the unique henley button look at the top while sporting a flash of polka dot print. And finally, the button-down shirts, shorts, and fedora have an elegant taste of Amongst Friends’ custom paisley print that spices each piece up perfectly.

All the pieces are in-store now and will be available in our webstore shortly. Take a look at the photos of our friend Justyn crushing  it below…

“Here it is the groove, slightly transformed. Just a bit of break from the norm”…

Summer, summer, summertime indeed!  With summer collections hitting the shop around the same time, we decided to get the gang together for yet another little lookbook/photoshoot. This time around we picked “Official Selections” from the new 10 Deep, Amongst Friends, Mishka, and Only NY summer collections, and spent a typical Extra Butter day enjoying the weather in the new gear, and playing around with the camera of course.

Click here or the photo below to take a look at the entire lookbook.

The photos were done by our very own, and newly graduated, Alex. I just want to take the time to congratulate young Alex on his elementary High School graduation, and even more so for his acceptance into F.I.T.! There was never any doubt of that though was there. I mean, have you seen his portfolio!?!? Other young selvage cats are simply not on his level…Now if only we could close up the shop to bombard you with cheers and jeers at your graduation ceremony Friday, CONGRATS, jerk! And sincere thanks as always to everyone who helped out!
