A RUGBY Twist On A Go To Hell Pant

If you are not already familiar with the term Go To Hell Pant, google it.P3252210 These go-to hell pants were made 30+ yrs. ago for Mills-Touche in Tucson. Some close-ups of the print below. Chip2 Chip3 Chip5 
And served as inspiration for a short pant version done right by Ralph Lauren’s RUGBY brand. If I were near the store today I’d cop them immediately! !P3252223 P3252224

I met Sidney in Grand Central Station back in the warmer months. I really appreciate a gent in a DB blazer and bow-tie. Sidney, like alot of men I approach; asked what is it about me that you liek so much. To which I responded "why, youre polka dotted bow tie and DB blazer. He asked for my details and 2 days later, the day i left for a intercontinental flight, I received a signed copy of his book in the post. We have more in common than I would have thought. Sidney grew up in Baltimore Maryland. What an exceptional guy. You should check out his book. A story about growing up with a dad who was a booky. bookie?  I decided to post this as I have been looking at old drafts that have inspired most recent outfits of mine. I have been wearing this bow tie for the last few weeks religiously. Often wearing 3 days straight. I dont sweat too much.

I have seen this gentleman two or three times in passing on these city streets. This was taken a few years ago on the corner of Prince and Bowery i think. I love how he has a crest (pin) opposite pocket of where he keeps his pocket watch. Great fedora too. Hard to wear a small brim when youre not exactly small but he pulls it off well. Pleated trouser without really looking very full is a bonus. Last time I saw him was on the street with all the theatres after a play let out, I ran to shoot Larry King and passed this guy. Not sure why.
