Ran into this dude as I was walking out of my office the other day. We wear tweed all June, July and August here in SF! We struck up a conversation after after asking if we could take each others picture. I went home and checked his site, He has been shooting similar characters for the last 20+ years.
I especially love these twins
I have seen many women try and wear ties, while most do it better than Avril Levine even if they wear a proper collared shirt, they’ll still mess it up somehow by leaving it untucked or dangling like an orb. I think theres only one way, like a fella. With a vest, suit or just a shirt like Bettina did here. I think they have one thing to their advantage, I think a woman can wear a slightly wider tie (than the young men wear today) sans jacket. I feel like a kid when wearing a tie without a jacket; be it denim or a blazer…
My pal Jay Carroll took me over to Rena Bransten Gallery to see the John Waters opening of his exhibition called Rush.
Love this painting of a young John.
Ike & Tina sculpture. Of course I was drawn to the clothing. His zoot suit and her fur are just amazing. Not to mention his boots!!
Though the colors on this were great.
Probably the coolest guy I've shot on the west coast.
Empty Note Pads
Loved the dudes colors/fabrics
A jewfro if I've ever seen one. Works for him.
Not sure about this one. Need to run it by Jeremy Scott. If he thinks its rad, well, i will too.
A look that only works out here in Hippie Dippie San Fran Skippie
Legendary skate photographer. Cant recall his name. Douglas Friedman maybe?
Aside from the many trips my father would take us to Tom Mitchells I think the only time I’ve swung a proper golf club was in 12th Grade at NEw Haven Hebrew Day School where golf was offered as an elective. That was pretty crazy for a Yeshiva and I was thrilled. Unfortunately we never made it to any greens. But this jacket… I have always loved the security guards and their attire at stores like Lionel Kiddie City , Radio Shack or Toys R Us. The burgandy or grey blazer that is made of polyester you can spot 100 ft away… When i began thinking about making clothes I would dream of making this sportcoat in a fine wool, yet still oversized with cheap shiny buttons. That wore off and all I can think about making now is this green version of the same blazer. This guy was wearing it on a casual weekday walking the streets of Manhattan. I love the idea of wearing the navy blazer look (khakis too short, brooks brothers oxford & Bucs) in a odd color like green. And the fact that its THE masters jacket makes it not just security guy or idiot in a navy blazer but a new take on a classic. I think J Press or Hickey Freeman used to make them but today I have only seen them at Mens Wearhouse or other cheezy stores.
Make it & Make one for me!
