Japanese brand Wacko Maria has gotten together with heritage shoemaker Alfred Sargent on a pair of Wingtip Shoes. The UK shoemaker is in business since 1899 and is still family run today. For Wacko Maria they created a classic Wingtip Shoe in two colorways – white/patent leather black and white/green. We also like a lot the contrasting red lining. Both are now available from Wise Ark.

Wacko Maria offers up a pretty fresh “Riders Jacket” as part of their Fall/Winter 09 collection.

Comes in grey, brown, or purple (seen on the flip) and will run you ¥63,000 at ELT. (Approx. $703 USD).

Two solid pieces from the Wacko Maria Fall/Winter 2009 Collection have been released. The Stadium Jacket comes in a nice dark grey colorway and even though it features extensive embroideries on the back, the jacket does not seem overloaded. Next up is the melton wool vest. It was inspired heavily by a classic blazer and is available in two colorways this season. Both pieces are now in stock at ELT.

We can give you a first look at the Wacko Maria Fall/Winter 2009 Collection. The Japanese brand presents a nice selection of outerwear, pants, as well as accessories. Especially the jackets in this preview are looking very nice and are also a little more subtle compared to their previews collections. We like that Wacko Maria goes their own route and continues to be very different from the rest of the Japanese market, which sometimes seems very monotone. The collection can now be pre-ordered from Hybaa.

Many more images from the Wacko Maria Fall/Winter 2009 Collection follow after the jump.
