Saw this man pass by while eating brunch one day and ran out the restaurant and chased him down the block. He wasn’t all too pleased but obliged as they almost always do. Saw him a few weeks later in the same cords and saddle shoes, but with a different sweater. Just wait ’til you see this jumper. Yeah, I’m not Australian but I used jumper.
I'm not entirely sure (don't recall most of the night) how the blazer works under a Belstaff, but I like his vintage poly/cotton shirt and what looks like a similar blend in his tie. The collar has such a great roll and the stitching is pretty great too. The way the tie is still tight yet the top button un-buttoned is real casual elegance. I hate when someone just losens their tie and it dangles like an ornament. This looks marvelous. Great knot to boot.
I’ve been working with the nice folks over at Wm. J. Mills & Co. on two briefcase style bags in this purple stonewashed canvas. If you are not already familiar with Wm. J. Mills & Co. They have been in the game since 1880. Each bag is hand sewn (double-needle stitching).
Email me for more information. Expected delivery will be for Spring. Read more about the bag here: http://theglengarrysportingclub.blogspot.com/2011/01/wm-j-mills-co-laptop-carryall.html
So very good to see this couple, her in a Borsalino or Stetson, him in a Filson or more casual style hat than her fedora. I saw at least four people in straw hats in NYC over the holidays. Too bad the wind didn’t just take it off and save them.
If you've stopped in the Nolita RRL shop you know the fellas in there are of the nicest of retail specialists. Exactly the opposite of most stores today, you can actually hang out there, have a decent conversation that's not all about 'where'd you get those?' Brooks came to NYC a few years ago from sunny California and brings those vibes to Prince Street. Saw him earlier today at Ray's in a great old fedora and was reminded of these photographs I took last winter. One of the great things about working retail for RRl must be that you don't have to wear all Ralph Lauren product when working. The kids there are able to mix it up and do that quite well. I don't think they would wear other modern designers but they do mix vintage better than most people I see these here days.
