WTAPS will be ringing in the new year with a small release of some very nice items. As part of this special drop, the label will be releasing a slim fitting stadium jacket in 3 classic colors including a very eye catching red piece highlighted by cream colored sleeves. A very shimmery down filled vest is also part of the collection, and it comes in a blue and black, both with a buffalo check lining. The last item is a military inspired shoulder bag. Check the Gip store after the new year to purchase.

Once again the entire Japanese fashion scene seems to have decided that Fall/Winter 2011 was the Harris Tweed season. We will never understand how this works, but everybody collaborated this season with the traditional fabric maker, including WTAPS.

Releasing this week is the Lumber Jacket, featuring a colorful check wool upper. Furthermore the Bullitt Jacket will release, along with matching gloves and hat. Each item features a Harris Tweed logo tag and nice detailing, just like we are used to see from WTAPS. Even though there seem to have been many Harris Tweed items this last season, these are certainly among our favorite.

One of the more bold pieces from the WTAPS Fall/Winter 2011 “Way of Life” collection from this season is the ‘Locals’ tour jacket. Two tiger’s heads adorn the front chest area of the jacket and a female human/tiger hybrid is placed right smack dab in the middle of the back with the words ‘Tiger Stipes’ right above her. Makes sense. (via Plog)

While we have already presented guides for Shibuya and Harajuku, there is a lot happening in between the two areas, which we explore in the next chapter of our Tokyo shopping guide.

You can easily walk from Shibuya to Harajuku, as the two are connected and only one train stop away from each other. Some places are easier to find than others, but there are so many great shopping areas in the city to explore and we would not want to miss a single one of them.

Check out our store checks that we did on the edges of the two shopping districts, featuring some retailers that you have already heard about many times here on Highsnobiety.
