My Picks from BillHallman.net: Diesel, J. Lindeberg, Drifter

Those of you in the know will remember that I shop online obsessively, if not compulsively. I'm always looking for new finds and new stores. Yesterday, I stumbled on BillHallman.net, and I'm pleased with the results. Here are my picks.


Drifter light grey men's T-shirt



Diesel Suede belt with denim back strip-metal end clasps



Diesel brown cloth belt with black stitching and metal clasp/loopholes



J. Lindeberg Leather Metallic Belt



Diesel
Leather Black Stripe Belt


Yeah, normally, I wouldn't post so much Diesel here. But at least I haven't picked out anything advertising the brand name to a nauseatingly excessive amount, a la G Star, Evisu, Armani Exchange, etc. etc. etc.

In addition to G Star, Evisu, and the above, Hallman also carries Penguin, Modern Amusement, A+Dam, Andrea Palombini, Scott Langton, Steven Alan, Travota, and Project E. Oh, I also like this Andrea Palombini linen shirt -- great for summer.



By the way, BillHallman also stocks jeans -- Diesel, Meltin' Pot, Paper Denim and Cloth, Earnest Sewn and Nomad Tribe. I wouldn't buy premium denim online unless you really, really know denim and the size you are in a particular brand and product line. Or, unless you're a glutton for punishment or a serious risk-taker. Actually, I've been thinking a lot about the state of denim lately, and we might see a column coming out on the subject soon, if I'm in the mood.
