Interesting fact here, apparently- when you're taken, your girlfriend would cut that tag on the back of the shirt. you may refer to it as locker loop.. when we were in yeshiva we referred to it as something else..

This polo reminds me of the kid that lived across the sreet, he wasnt cool but had a few moe dollars and thought he was.. Now, i kinda dig the clasic styling of it. no side vents and while it looks like a 50/50 blend, its 100% cotton. Love how the logo seems to look like a monogram !!

Some they got, some got away..

WwiianorakThis salmon colored anorak from WWII surprisingly wasn't snatched up by anyone ! StripedknittieBananavestbrimfieldBananavestbrimfield2BrimfieldBBshirtThis is one of the best Brooks Brothers shirts I have ever seen. I already own a few variations of this shirt by them, but thats not why I didnt buy it. I was beaten to it by the boys who were shopping for Ralph Lauren inspiration. I felt better when i saw that it was priced at $145. To make it worse, it was 14.5 (my size) and if all goes as it should, will be seen in a Rugby store near you. We can only hope and pray it wont be embroidered with skulls and flags all over it. These dealers make it way too easy, I cant blame these designers for not bothering to really dig, wether it be on ebay or our nations thrift shops. And by thrift shops, I dont mean WCGA or Stock.. Brimfieldhoodie I really liked the pockets on this guys pants and sweatshirt. Interesting how its not a full zip. Cant tell whats going on with the bottom of his pants, were they cut short? gathered? dont know, but they look good! His bag was super cool as well, but this is all you're getting.Crangi I like this shot of jewelry designer Phillip Crangi "shopping" in his green cuffed pants and green rod laversRpmbrimfield1 Dude from 45 RPM shoping.. I love sweatpants, I dont own a pair but have always wanted a pair. I really like how he paired them with rust New Balance, a flannel shirt and down vest !Rpmbrimfield2 Here with a trophy purchase ! I was watching forever to see who would become the lucky owner of this stripe painted oar.

Have never seen an orange one. Great way to layer in the winter and I find they especially come in handy in the Spring time. Check out his monocle. And as if the orange isnt enough, Check out this turquoise one.TurquoisechamoisBrimfieldcoupleSpendiesmailbagBrimfieldkhakimoccasinP1200780 I saw this fella carrying this here horse and asked if I could photograph it, He paid $400 and was "told" it was Pendleton. I didnt see a label anywhere, there was a tag on its tush, didnt say Pendleton or any company, just fabric contents and made in taiwan i believe. I hope it was at least made using Pendleton fabric but Ill never be sure.. Cool piece none the less.RpmtrophyBrimfieldpinksome more color out there in the fields.

Color Blocks & Mephisto

ColorblockP1190430

 This guy has got it down without even knowing it. The color palette and blocking  (see women’s Dries F09?) along with the original orthopedic shoes (Mephistos) make him the real deal. This is the type of irony that inspires…not the contrived hipster irony you see so much of these days. His choice of colors and proportions (high socks were not a must but add so much) comes across so naturally.
There’s something really cool to me about a younger man wearing Mephisto shoes.
When Camper, Aldo and Kenneth Cole followed Hogan, Gucci and Prada with the orthopedic look, I recalled seeing a few of these and some Rockports around town. Not sure if you have ever worn these, I tried them on once and wished I could pull them off but i felt they were too bulky but I love them, no lies.
