Have a Good Week, #13
Recommendations from the Lé Bump team.
Lucky #13, and lucky for you, it’s been four weeks, so the Lé Bump A-Team is back to deliver the musings and recommendations you need.
Burberry House Check Baseball Cap
I recently went to London for the first time and have resparked my love for the football fan style, specifically the hooligans of the 90s and 2000s. I didn't see much of the House Check around but it's always been one of my favorite patterns and everyone looks cool wearing it. Burberry entirely stopped making this hat in 2004 when the country was seeing a massive push to curb hooliganism, going so far as banning Burberry-clad lads from pubs and bars around the country, making this hat that much more iconic. I've got my eye on a few vintage ones already but I definitely plan on rocking one of these all summer long. -bh
Getting to work a little early
I often don't actually have time to spare before work, but when I do, it's the best. I love having the time to grab a coffee and take a stroll to ease into the day. Maybe one day I'll be able to consistently get out of bed at a reasonable time, but who knows. -bh
I’ve been loving all the bags from Margesherwood. Somehow I’ve only recently discovered the brand, but ever since I’ve been trying to decide what my first purchase will be. -ah
This is the Day by The The
Every few years I remember that this song exists and I have to listen to it on repeat until I tuck it away again for a later date. Something about it makes me want bop around town and go for a long walk on a warm spring day. If you decide to try this yourself, let me know how it makes you feel. -ah
Faces by Mac Miller
One of my all-time favorite projects turns 10 years old next week. A sprawling 27-song mixtape that captured both the artistic and personal evolution of Mac in real time, as his increased level of experimentation and honesty in the work set the stage for projects like Swimming in the years following. -mb
Was gifted this photobook by resident “movie guy” Noah Rollings for Christmas this year and can’t stop going back to it. Stunning black and white photography from the mid-1960s capturing Chicago’s own Outlaws Motorcycle Club, which Lyon became a patched member of for a brief time while shooting the series. The book also serves as the basis for the upcoming (fictional) film of the same name, directed by Jeff Nichols and starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler and Tom Hardy. -mb
Brain Dead - Shroom Cola Perfume
This scent has been around for a few years now, but I finally had a chance to try it in person during a trip to LA this past fall and have been coming back to it as it’s started to warm up. Produced in collaboration with Portland-based Maak Lab, the scent is in the name. Sweet-leaning but woodsy and fresh. It’s not something I’d wear every day but I love it when I’m spending the afternoon outside. I’ve never smelled anything like it. -mb
