I've been a long time fan of Complex Magazine. When Anoma asked me to be a part of the Style and Design issue I was really excited. We met at The Ace Hotel Lobby Bar to discuss over iced coffee (I only fuck with cold-brewed and they have some serious cold-brewed over there.) We both thought the traditional interview profile was kind of boring. "Jake, you're always making beautiful videos in cool places. How about you tell us what you travel with." I thought it was a really interesting concept. Sometimes your belongings say more about you than you think. And it seemed like a natural extension of what you see here everyday.
An interview, an illustration, a couple photos shoots, and a few e-mail exchanges later the issue is out. I think it looks really great and hopefully not too boring for you guys. We have a few other things in the works but for now you can take a look at some of my belongings that are very special to me. Maybe they'll inspire you on your travels. Thanks to Anoma Whittaker, Mary H.K. Choi, Krystal Atwater, Brad Bridgers, and Amy Chen for all their hard work over at Complex. And if you want more details on any of this stuff hit me in the comments section...
Not seen a Canadian field jacket before. Great shape and pocket placing. Everybody should own some army surplus.

I actually read this interview and I wanted to commend you on all of the pieces that you chose.
I love how the ruggedness of the jacket meets the sensible chicness of the shoes. I am completely enamored with this look!!

Real dope pieces, Jake. Great work as always!

I'm loving the Toronto love! Great to see our city puts on for their guests and has them walking away with collectibles that inspire memories at every glance.

This could be evidence that the man is an inarticulate bufffoon. Instead, viewed from the frame of his position, the interviewer imputes - without evidence - “brilliant” thoughts to him, and commends his “cerebral manner“.

Tässä on mökkikoneeni. Olen ompelemassa kahvipusseista kassia. pusseja en ole saanut kerättyä kovin paljoa, joten kassista tuli aika kirjava. Suikaleiden ompelussa kului yllättävän paljon aikaa by joy.
