//Blanc & Noir Fall 2011: RUGGED & refined
We’re so glad that Blanc & Noir’s new fall collection has arrived. The heat’s finally broken and it’s time to start contemplating what you’re going to wear once the mercury really starts dropping. This collection is a little bit of both worlds: sharp tailoring against soft fabrics, rugged styling with classic touches.

Palomino Blackwing 602
I would say I know my fair share of nerds. Denim nerds, record nerds, computer nerds, bike nerds…basically anyone that has an extreme passion for the details and intricacies of a specific topic. A nerd I’ve never crossed paths with is a pencil nerd, someone who can see and feel the difference between a #2 and a soft wax lead.
The Palomino Blackwing 602 was discontinued in 1998,...
