On paper, the team-up of of NEIGHBORHOOD and MAD may not make very much sense. One is a no-frills Japanese label obsessed with the hard edged imagery spewing from the subculture of motorcycles, the other is a lighthearted magazine of fun-poking aimed at every nook and cranny in pop culture. So despite the apparent disparity in their respective mission statements, the two are getting together for a small capsule collection. The pieces included of course bear the image of Alfred E. Neuman, MAD’s pranskter mascot and long time inhabitant of t-shirts. The drop isn’t without the NEIGHBORHOOD influence though, as the team applies a black and white touch for an interesting take on the buoyant imagery from MAD’s catalog. Hit the jump to check out the hoodie as well and stick with us for more info on this collabo.

In anticipation of the warmer weather ahead, LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD have opted to drop the Decker Jacket from their Spring/Summer 2012 collection right now. The trenchcoat-like long jacket is made from a blend of cotton and polyester fabrics. It comes available in black or beige versions with navy-inspired buttons featuring anchors on them. A small black patch that reads “1933” decorates the left chest of the single-breasted jacket. Along with the two waist pockets, there is a back pocket located on the right side. These pieces should be available at LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD stockists around the world.
Coinciding with the launch of the Spring/Summer 2012 collection, LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD is partnering up with their old friends at Bounty Hunter. It goes without saying that with these two brands teaming up, the result is nothing short of bold. The capsule collection consists of three graphic t-shirts and a trucker cap in several colorways. Skull-infused Bounty Hunter graphics are screened onto the front of the LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD garments in monotone. On the back of the t-shirts, the iconic Bounty Hunter logo is printed on the bottom as well. All of the pieces are currently in stock at LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD dealers across the globe.
The Spring/Summer 2012 collection from LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD has already started to hit dealers in Japan, and some of its first delivery items are these Trek Jackets. Made from 100% cotton fabrics, the military-inspired hooded jacket is available in two versions, Black and Dot. The exterior is equipped with two buttoned pockets on the waist and one diagonal pocket on the chest. Polka dot fabrics can be found on the under side of the sleeves and on the hood lining of the black jacket, while the same combination is reversed on the Dot version. These jackets are available on the LUKER By NEIGHBORHOOD online store, but unfortunately they are not shipping outside of Japan at the moment.
Neighborhood puts its unique spin on the maritime relic and modern wardrobe classic, the pea coat. Part of the brand’s ’60s-inspired “Gimme Shelter” collection, the double-breasted coat features a melton wool outer, two vertical besom pockets as well as two flap pockets and warm quilted interior. Leather adjustable sleeve tabs, along with leather trim at the pockets, cuffs and interior neck round out the premium details. Branding is limited to discreet Neighborhood labels, one underneath the collar and the other at the left body of the made in Japan garment. The Neighborhood Pea Coat is in stock now at Canada’s HAVEN.

Japan’s Neighborhood has brought back its popular Strabler Rider Jacket from 2009. Dubbed the Strabler 2, this reissue is updated with a number of improvements, the most significant of which is the new material construction: soft lamb leather provides increased comfort and an interesting contrast to the jacket’s rugged aesthetic. Additional details include the “D pocket” on the left side, a nod to ’40s-era vintage riders, as well as the quilted woodland camouflage lining, evocative of the Vietnam Era that the brand’s “No Shelter” collection is built around. Quilted reinforcement at the elbows and adjustable waist tabs finish the look. The Neighborhood Strabler 2 Leather Jacket is available now at Canada’s HAVEN.

As Japanese design Noriaki Endo begins the unenviable task of closing his influential Devilock brand. “Tributes” are coming in as gestures of thanks, including Shinsuke Takizawa of NEIGHBORHOOD who added a special edition selvedge denim to Devilock’s final collection. In slightly washed colorway, the commemorative edition also features leather rear pocket and patches in black, symbolic to Devilock’s influence. Limited in availability starting next month, the Devilock x NEIGHBORHOOD Special Edition Selvedge Denim is now available for pre-order on ZOZOTOWN shopping network.
Japan’s NEIGHBORHOOD is a label that’s very much of the moment, but it’s no secret the brand regularly looks to the past for inspiration. That’s certainly the case with their new Fall/Winter collection, “Gimme Shelter,” a title borrowed from the lead track off the Rolling Stones’ 1969 album Let It Bleed. Appropriately, the collection is influenced by the 1960s Vietnam era, blending military notes with outlaw biker motifs, most obviously seen in the tees and knits. Denim in rigid and washed styles, as well as two woven shirts, complete the assortment. Canada’s HAVEN has just received their first shipment of NEIGHBORHOOD’s fall season; the goods are up on their webstore now.
