Although Spring items are rolling into stores, winter is far from over by the looks of the cold weather. STPL have dropped this Skyline Hooded Jacket to help fend off the unpleasant conditions. The jacket is made with a nylon outer shell from Breathetech, offering the usual tech functionality, such as water resistance and breathability. Furthermore, there are a total of nine pockets distributed throughout this jacket–2 waterproof chest pockets, 4 bottom pockets, 1 sleeve pocket, 1 lining pocket and 1 backside pocket–which should make any wearer happy. The cotton poplin lining on the interior is printed with white polka dots, mirrored by white details on the pocket trim on the outside. This jacket is available at Reed Space online shop and retail store, as well as STPL accounts worldwide.

After seeing the latest collaboration between Case-Mate and Staple Design’s STPL, you may never look at one of the most common natural city dwellers the same ever again. Back with another pigeon-inspired product, STPL paired up with Case-Mate to create a silicone case that is textured and colored to look like the wings and body of this most conspicuous of birds. Made to slip over the back and corners of the Apple iPhone 4/4s and enhance your grip, the case is several shades of grey save for its salmon-colored camera port and its pigeon feet key charm. Once in place, this case makes your phone both impact and bird-dropping resistant.

Check out more looks at this city-ready case after the jump before heading over to New York’s Reed Space to pick one up.

If you have ever wondered how to start an online retail store, then this is a video you should not miss. In this 13th installment of the 1-2-1 with Jeff Staple video interview series, Jeff sits down with the Founder and CEO of Karmaloop, Greg Selkoe. Perhaps if you have been living under a rock for sometime, you may not have heard of Karmaloop, but for the rest of us with an internet connection would know them as a dominating force online. There are many good points raised by Selkoe on his strategy to stay relevant to the ever so fickle fashion industry to come out on top. Watch the full interview after the jump and learn a thing or two about the retail game.

Truth. It is a word we hear often but perhaps it is not spoken as often these days. In fact the cigarette industry and smoking is ripe of lies and contradictions. This is where truth comes in and sets the record straight with their premiere truth1585 Collection. truth will be partnering up with Staple Design and eight key retail stores across the country to launch this capsule collection. Each boutique will be stocking one of eight t-shirt designs speaking on the truth about nicotine, smoking and cigarettes in general. Keep your eyes on Reed Space, ALIFE, Goliath, BODEGA, BURN RUBBER, MAJOR, TRUE and UBIQ who will be stocking the truth1585 Collection very soon. truth also created a short video interview with each of the boutique’s founders and staff about the reasoning behind participating in this project and what smoking means to them personally.

For the folks at retailer Reed Space, their long held fascination with speed and the open road materialized into this year’s collaboration with Penfield, the Stapleton Motorcycle Jacket. Appeared some days ago within the pages of STPL Fall 2011 Collection Lookbook, the Reed Space x Penfield Stapleton Motorcycle Jacket harks back to the golden days of cafe racers and Porsche 356 Roadster. In Penfield’s trademarked water resistant nylon with leather racing stripes and appliques, nickle silver zipper and snap buttons complete the unique design. Inspired by the trusted Craftsman Toolbox, a red interior lined the jacket’s interior along with Staple Design‘s motto, “A Positive Social Contagion.” Finally, a Reed Space “School Chair” logo replaced the familiar Penfield’s Bear icon on jacket’s sleeve. Limited to Reed Space only, the Reed Space x Penfield Stapleton Motorcycle Jacket will be available starting tomorrow, November 22nd, for $285 US.

They are known as the flying pest in New York City. But to Jeff Staple and the Staple Design family, the lowly pigeon is a metaphor for survivability and persistence, especially true in the Big Apple’s harsh surrounding. In go beyond just a mere mascot for the company, Staple partnered with Kidrobot in the creation of Kidrobot x Staple Pigeon collection. Aside from apparel, key caps, and key fobs, is the winged vermin itself at 7-inch in height. Quipped with a distinctive grey coat in various shades, the pudgy fowl comes with its very own poop.

The albino version will only be available in-store at Reed Space, Kidrobot New York, and Kidrobot Los Angeles locations.

After this summer’s BELLATOR COLUMBIDAE, or also known as Fighting Pigeon figurine with Adfuncture, Staple Design will recreate its favorite mascot in a 7-inch vinyl facsimile next month, courtesy of Kidrobot. Instead of an aggressive stance like the previous design, Kidrobot’s version has a rather astute posture with its unsightly poop, a rather accurate depiction its feral nature especially in New York City.

The Kidrobot x Staple Design Pigeon 7-Inch Vinyl Figure itself will be limited to 800 pieces worldwide.
