Introducing the Foot Soldier Tech Tee.

We are really excited about this new edition to our performance wear lineup.  Many of you will recognize the clever pocket system that made headlines when the BlackCoat-T was introduced as the first iPod cargo t-shirt.  Based on input from customers, we are bringing this design back through the exclusive Foot Soldier brand.  Combining the most incredible moisture wicking and naturally anti-microbial fabric we could find (Xstatic) with the dual pocket system we invented, we think this is the most hybrid performance and travel t-shirt on the planet.  You can literally wear one shirt for a week, never wash it, and it will not stink (guaranteed).  With the added pockets, you can carry your iPhone/iPod and a wallet to workout, work or travel.  Save space in your drawers and suitcase and only take Foot Soldier TT.  It is all you need.  Once you start using Foot Soldier TT, you will have a hard time wearing anything else.

We have tested Foot Soldier TT tirelessly and wore it through three full, sweaty workouts.  The shirt festered at the bottom of a locker full of sweat and there was no odor after it dried!  No kidding.  How does that work?  Click here for more details.

Takumi

We are also pleased to bring you more Takumi luxury dress shirts, which we think are some of the best fitting and most well made knits on the planet.

In Japanese, Takumi means “skillful and clever.” This could not be a more fitting brand of luxury designer dress shirts for tech savvy, style conscious professionals who want something a little more sophisticated for both business and/or casual occasions.

Pearl
This piece combines the finest luxury white on white Japanese dobby stitch cotton with ancestral tailoring techniques to create a unique, modern look that will last.

Sabi
The Takumi Sabi was inspired by the contrast of this Zen philosophy and modern life in Japan. It perfectly blends artisan creativity with high-class luxury.  Made from luxurious poplin dress stripe fabric.

Ginza
The Takumi Ginza captures the ambiance of this well trafficked district.  Made from  a unique red on blue mini-check stitch fabric.

Musashi
This is the perfect luxury designer dress shirt for Creative Professionals who are masters of their domain.  Made from a luxurious twill check fabric with a mysterious white on black crisscross pattern.

Ebisu
The Takumi Ebisu was inspired by one of Tokyo’s most affluent, yet laid back districts.  Made from luxurious dress tonal cloth.

As a result of feedback from our worldwide beloved customer base, we are pleased to announce the addition of two new Slimmy slim wallet alternatives.

For our international minimalist enthusiasts, we are pleased to introduce the first Slimmy made for international banknotes.  wwSlimmy is made .25″ (6mm) wider to accommodate larger sized Asian and European currencies up to 3.125″ (79mm).  wwSlimmy is made to the same exacting tolerances and premium leather as all Slimmy slim wallets and gets better over time as it breaks in.

We upgraded the Special Edition Slimmy line with a new colorway.  Now you can get Slimmy SE with digital camo lining!  Slimmy SE Military is a tribute to all people taking risk with honor and valor no matter their walk of life.

Last, but not least, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Bongo, which is an optional shipping service for our international customers.  Here is how it works.  Bongo International provides customers that sign up with their very own US address. Once you have a US address, you will be able to make purchases with us as well as other US based online retailers. Bongo receives your purchases and logs them into their online system which you can use to view your items and consolidate them with multiple orders.  Once again, Bongo is optional.  Click here for more details.

Greetings!

We pulled together some new products to round out a great summer we hope you all are having.  “Style, Performance and Utility” has been the product mantra of Koyono for quite some time.  We certainly know that summer is especially challenging for individuals with both minimalist tendencies and design centric cravings.  From face to foot, we put together some products we thought you might enjoy to get the most out of these last care-free summer days to unwind the mind and enjoy some R&R.  Thinking forward, they also make for fantastic travel accessories when it’s time to get back to our professional and productive lives.

Style

We love t-shirts as they are they are the everyday staple-wear of summer, but also essential when packing for the various environments of travel.  From office-to-beach-to-gym, we have you covered with three great fitting and looking Foot Soldier T-Shirts in new colors and style.  Pack less and do more.  Foot Soldier t-shirts are made simple and fashion-free (they go with just about anything).  Also, we are introducing three great sandals from Cobian that range from ironic and casual to something premier that the boldest of you could pull off wearing to your next board meeting.

Performance

When it’s warm, we wear less.  When we wear less, there are less pockets to carry and protect all our stuff.  We think OtterBox got it right with small, waterproof gadget boxes you can bring to the beach or on your next trip.  Made to be leak tight 100 feet below water, OtterBox is great to have with you on a boat or at the beach.  They also can be used to protect valuables when traveling for business.  What’s more is that under $20, they are quite affordable.

Utility

We are very excited about the In Your Face iPhone and iPod Touch mount.  It is one of those products you did not know you needed until you try it.  This cleverly designed stand holds your iPhone/iPod securely with or without a case and clamps sturdily to just about anything.  You can enjoy having your iPhone/iPod close to your face for immediate accessibility, as well as improved audio for the speaker phone or music.

Last, but not least, we think those clutter-free fanatics out there will really like Cable Clip cord managers from Bluelounge.  From iPhone headsets to power cords, the Cable Clips allow you to neatly “untangle the dangle” whether you are at your desk or on-the-go.

Hope you are having a great summer!

We are really excited to bring you some of the best iPad cases and bags on the planet.  Once this genius device was released we realized that it would require different protection and carrying solutions than a laptop.

Similar to a mobile phone, the iPad is primarily cradled and moved around by hand, making it prone to dings, dents and scratches.  Super thin cases that do not take away from the fluid and free experience of the iPad is something we thought users would welcome.  The Incipio Feather and SwitchEasy Nude are both thin, hard-shell cases that provide the right amount of protection without compromising style.  Prefer a sleeve you can put in any bag?  The Booq Taipan Spacesuit is the perfect solution with a durable construction and futuristic look.

The iPad is not just a device, it’s a lifestyle.  Like most of us not really needing a truck to commute, we never really use the full functionality of a laptop for work or leisure.  The iPad breaks this paradigm, allowing us to stay connected from anywhere without having to always sit down to use a laptop or trying to do it all through a 3″ smartphone display.  We realize that, as people get used to a “less is more” iPad lifestyle, they will want more compact carrying solutions.  The Travel Kit Plus and Nylon Carry Sleeve by Incase and the Booq Taipan Shadow XS and Slim XS provide a range of functionality sized right for the iPad.

The design of every mobile device hinges on power.  No one likes running out of it and unfortunately, battery technology is not keeping pace with microprocessor and display design.  The Incase USB Car and Combo Chargers are perfect for your on-the-go power needs for your iPad, iPhone or iPod.

Hope you’re having a great summer!
