A Weekend Stroll On Fillmore
Ran into the best dude ever! Classic khaki styling on a weekend on the UES or here in Pacific Heights, SF. Hung around for him and a friend to finish their conversation, wasn’t happening anytime soon so I had to interupt which is always weird, but I have to. I never know what to start with when asking a fella if I could take some pictures of his clothing. While for a dude like this one its just a trench and a hat, I get very excited over khaki suits, tweed hats and furnishings such as a walking stick. So i cant ever keep my cool… Oooh the lapis!!
A better shot of the lapis. I dream of rings like these. Robert Bryan knows. He inscribed in his book “I leave you my last ring”
A profile of the Tweed Bucket Hat! Let’s see what we have going on inside…So long as the gent allows the inspection & documentation, I will further disect… His colors are so beautiful together.
The blue in the buttons of his cardigan and the lapis! Can you see the lined placket of his cardigan?! That’s quality, That is why he can still wear it 20 years or so after he purchased. It isn’t even too small, its just buttoned only on the bottom as he was just throwing it on to keep warm on his walk. He told me he wasn’t planning on running into me.
“These are Church’s or Alden, I forget” It doesn’t matter, I love how the pant breaks and the bleach spots on the bottom of the leg!
These remind me of when i saw Rene Ricard on the subway in Hermes black velvet evening pumps and they were all stained up!
His watch is pretty special (especially with the ring).
Day Of The Dead ~ San Francisco
horrible belt but the shirt and blazer were just perfect. When it comes to events like this, If youre not actually celebrating a dead one, its just another reason to get dressed up. I’m cool with costume just about any day, but I will tear you apart… When we got into the park, there was the most beautiful & scary trees, altars & costumes. This cat definitely wasnt scary but he had one of the best looks I’ve seen in SF so far. a mockneck with a beret. very art director from back in the day. There were some older cats that really turned it out. went in, worked it. cant be mad at someone that just showed up and wasnt in costume. I of course liked that he had contrasting shoe laces. Another cat that wasnt dressed up for the holiday but just had great colors! theres something special about a fella in a not precious beanie. non sagging, non cashmere etc. say what you will about his clothes clothes. He is killing it. oy, nakedness in garages along the parade route. Too many idiots/brands/stores are abusing fedoras and fur felt hats in general, this one I think I like. (he almost looks like he’s a 70’s rocker) This dudes camera strap was pretty cool. very cool.
A purdy bird.
Watch kinda effed it up, but I like the scarf with the western shirt.

Railroad Cap, Khaki Blazer, A Silk Knit Tie ~waiting for the bus
This man is so cool. As usual, I bring you a man that has no idea just how cool he is. When you have it you just have it. While I’d love to know why he is wearing a railroad cap or a belt with a cow, I dont want to scare him off with questions, or make him miss his bus, I just want to capture it all and deliver to you. The roll of the collar, the fraying of the shirt collar! His cane, his glasses… Hope you enjoy his lewk as much as I do.
