HEAD’S UP: In case you haven’t heard, it’s fall. Autumn! What a wonderful time of year, no? For weeks now, those in the rag trade have been rolling out their new stock for shoppers who may be in the market for a few more threads and layers or to get shoppers in said mood. To help trade and to help VEVLYN’S PEN readers and followers (potential shoppers), Yours Truly will be bringing to your attention over the next few weeks or so various fall collections. What shall I call these snapshots, for I won’t bore you with a treatise? Yes! I've got it: “Glimpses of Fall.” I reckon just about every Thursday through Thanksgiving or November (whichever comes first; I haven’t checked the calendar:o), I’ll provide a peek at a collection/line/brand that I deem captivating and worthy of your notice. Happy shopping! (potentially).

FOR Fall 2012, the theme at Porsche Design is iconic style meets industrial flair.

That translates into superior workmanship and high-quality materials. One does not expect anything less from a company and brand that was established by the grandson of the creator of the legendary Porsche 911.

The centerpiece of the Fall 2012 collection of clothing and accessories is the Hydro Tec leather jacket. It is constructed from nappa leather and laminated with water and wind-resistant materials. Welded seams waterproofs it in any kind of weather.
