J Crew F/W 09 Sneak Peek

MIX-MATCH

Crewmixmatch
I like what J Crew is up to. and don’t front. We’ve all been in there-been for a minute. I enjoy a pinstripe with a solid grey.. Very  “Morning Suit for taking a stroll to the bank”. Theyre teaching guys it doesnt have to be precious.. Loro Piana fabrics! Thomas Mason shirtings! i mean this is the stuff royalty has their clothes made of but they offer it to the general public with no seals of the queen or anything.. These are the shirtings Turnbull and Thom Browne use!

Alden Indy Boot for J Crew!

Russell Moccasins, I dont think anyone in nyc carries them! Looks like they’ve been in the woods roughed up up a bit before they hit the store. Store, not stores, not everywhere, 1 shop in NYC..P1170832
A new style Red Wing boot. Interesting with spery sole!P1170839
This showroom always has the best vintage belts (and buckles)! i like that they dont mix in too much vintage, when you see a super vintage looking sweatshirt, they have found a way to make it look genuinely old without making it look mass produced; yet affordable. P1170843
If you have not heard of Inverallan- check them. I love old fishermans sweaters but again, hard to find because they last forever..Inverallan has been working with (and doesnt tell you on their website)the likes of Neighborhood and Beams in Japan.. Another great mature non-precious move for the crew..

These shorts might be my favorite item after the cardigan which ill never be able to buy. Id cut them off, to look like old safari shorts. large belt loops..

This gents kit is remarkable huh!? Plaids for days, the tartan lining revealed under his made in England Brooks Brothers camel, bone/horn toggle, duffle just pops off the mustard n light blue  plaid shirt, love how the classic Burberry check scarf is strewn and almost abandoned over his casual posture, there's an heir of regal deliverance in his face as he lightly peruses the flea market, the tortoise shell spectacles add a nice touch of intellectual demure…I aint the least bit mad about the way he accessorizes the periwinkle wide wale cords with the canary yellow banded n butterscotch leather strap belt, that match the gloves, neither…notice as one is stylishly removed unveiling the imperial crested  ivory  engraved gold pinky ring, possibly a family heirloom, or a Masonic symbol, maybe its both and he found it out thrifting…but oh, lemme find out that he actually has a timepiece tucked into his watch pocket and a gold fob too boot- and shoes are always of grave importance as we all know, so is a proper break with or without a cuff, this is honored here with a casual two tone suede buck, another great find, candid as always, you know MISTER MORTs intention may have been to find a rare pair of cuff links but instead, he finds gems like this cat here. A Country Gentlemen at its finest.
