ok, I lied, one more post.

The best gift I acquired (besides family,friends, good food and drinks) was this LLBean Signature wool coat. It has Thinsulate on the inside which makes for good warmth while shoveling in this New England Blizzard. I also love the leather elbow patches, I hope we get 5 more feet of snow so I can wear it longer and sit by the fire lying about not posting anymore until the new year ;)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from N-EAST. 2011 is right around the corner, and I can only say how I cannot wait to launch the new N-EAST. you will be blown away in a wind up to the mountains.
Until then, this will probably be the last post of 2010, so I will leave you with Mumford and Sons cover of (Bob Dylan (old crow medicine show) ) cover of Wagon Wheel (rock me mama).
God bless, see you in the new year, love N-EAST.

Filson x Levis oil trucker jacket

Filson is well known for its rugged outdoor gear, so when we heard they were teaming up with Levi's, we had to check it out. The result is the Levi's Filson Oil Finish Trucker Jacket ($190), a new piece of outerwear that's as tough as it is stylish. Made from water-repellent Tin Cloth, the Trucker features metal rivets on its front and chest pocket closures, Moleskin lining on the button cuffs and collar, two hand warmer pockets, and a vintage tan color that will go with damn near any ensemble. I'm in love.

military.

Military watches make a huge impact on your fall wardrobe for an afordable price. I personally like the nylon straps, more expensive watches will have canvas.You can switch out the bands with a varity of colors available at Jcrew.com, don't buy the $150 Timex for Jcrew watch, buy this one for $18.99 by Timex here. Also replacing your laces on your beat up old Converse or Vans with some nice rugged leather ones does the trick. match it up with a henley and some chinos.

N-EAST is being reborn. It will be much more than a blog. it will have a store and a public upload photo gallery and quite possibly a message board. Also it will have mapped out locations of places to go that people can add in. look for it late July early August.

Snow Moon

Full Snow Moon - February Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February’s full Moon the Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult.
