A Flea Market ~ Pleasanton, California
Beautiful old patchwork quilt.I love old hat boxes.
Like a chassid, only with a pony tail. You know how much I appreciate a shirt over a shirt done right! From an old Fill STation, I wanted them, but for what…& now that I’m looking at them for the 20th time I figured out a great use for them! Dude goin home with some antlers. Classic. Wow, what a hat band. I thought about getting it and putting it on a different hat… More work… Darn, cant believe I left it behind. Covering up from the sun. Love this old Levi’s belt. Removable CollarsThe guy says “10 bucks with the box, I says 5 w/o? He says 15 w/o. Walked with it for 5.
The Man In The Polyester Suits
I know y’all are more ADD than I but I ask you to get through this one. The last few are the best shots…
I see homie sitting out in the sun almost every sunny day for a weeks straight before I began taking these photos. He carried around a picture album with photos of himself and family. He would get very excited over this photo. This is him by a San Francisco landmark. The Transamerica Building I believe.
We didnt understand eachother at all but every time he would get to this picture he would shout “My grandson, My grandson” “NYU, NYU” I think is what he said.
Once I walked him to the bathrooms in our lobby. And he once again showed me his photo album. One of my favorites of him. That shirt and his pose! Definitely the shot!shirt/tie combination is out of control.

Robert E. Bryan
Gawd, his oxford with that perfect bow tie and the hand picked stitching on that lapel! don’t miss his cuffs. If you don’t already know, Robert Bryan was the men’s fashion director of the New York Times Magazine, the men’s editor at W… and wrote this book: American Fashion Menswear. I always look forward to seeing Robert at appointments and shows/presentations during fashion week just to see his rings and belts. His fine fancy furnishings are always from various thrift shops and local flea markets. Refreshing to hear that beautiful items can still be found amongst all the hyper curated shabby chicness thats flooding our nations flea markets. Robert signed my book ” I leave you my last ring”.
