I like dude because he stays classic. Most of the way anyhow..Pleated linen trousers, a straw hat worn and fit properly and the playboy man of true leisure shirt. And he’s a nice fella.
This is a fabric chosen to make only ten ties for the curatory. 
Wish I could copy and past the correspondence I’ve been having with Jim. He’s so rad. Anyhow, I have been waiting and waiting to post his ties and just havn’t gotten around til now, by now they’re probably all sold out. you’ll just have to keep an eye out for new items.

Love these low desert boots w/ the binding of wax or whatever. His short sleeved sweatshirts pretty rad too. He is siting outside the Albam shop which was a new to me really cool shop. Nice oxford banded collar pop-over shirts..
A new Grenson shop with a cool staff. I just found this article and y’all should really appreciate it!
Can’t remember dudes name right this second! Matthew?
So sick.
My favourite. The Casper.
A Custy.
Different than the gal in Wiliamsburg or San Francisco in the same polka dotted blouse and cut-offs.
Hostem has got to be one of the coolest shops in London right now. Like many I saw, they kept the old exterior or made it look old…
Just some of the brands they carry.
Labour And Wait. One of the coolest shops in za vorld right now. they even have their own section at Dover Street Market. They sell kitchen supplies along with Musc from Portugal and Face Cream for the gals. Both come in the same packaging it has been in since the 30’s.
Another beautiful building.
The only way to display shirts. At The New Republic this is what the shirts were displayed in. I will have one in my shop one day.
In case you thought I was no longer shooting older dudes who stay killing it. The guy on the steps is here to remind you..
Said his inspiration is all Jerry Garcia. Saw dude outside Levisons on Cheshire Street. Really great 2nd hand mens shop. For a more wordy description check acl.
A few great short sleeved Levi’s work shirts. Not insanely vintage but insanely good.. Not just because I work here but because s/s work shirts are kinda good.
I’ve always been a fan of sammy scarves. I wont get into the history of them..that the mods popularized them, but I been collecting them for years. It always amazes me to find so many in one store.. Long story short, the best scarf to wear all year indoor or out.
Some hipness in them streets. But a good look, not mad. At least in London when its summer you can actually wear wool cap and not look stupid. ITS NOT AS HOT AS SAY WILLIAMSBURG where you’ll look like a fool in that cap in the summer heat.
A store I have covered here before but as it’s my favourite shop in London, and it’s been 2 yrs since I’ve been. I’ll share. Not alot has changed which is a good thing.
Some silk robes at their shop across the way which only sells pajamas, robes & ties.
Beautiful old patchwork quilt.
I love old hat boxes.
Like a chassid, only with a pony tail.
You know how much I appreciate a shirt over a shirt done right! 
From an old Fill STation, I wanted them, but for what…& now that I’m looking at them for the 20th time I figured out a great use for them!
Dude goin home with some antlers. Classic. 
Wow, what a hat band. I thought about getting it and putting it on a different hat… More work… Darn, cant believe I left it behind. 
Covering up from the sun. 
Love this old Levi’s belt.
Removable Collars
The guy says “10 bucks with the box, I says 5 w/o? He says 15 w/o. 
Walked with it for 5.
What you are gazing at is probably all sold by now. I have way too many photos in my bank, I’m rich there… and share what I’m in the mood of. Sorry if I teased you, they have tons more!
I shared with you a taste of their designer assortment… What I didnt realy touch on is their extensive collection of deadstock and worn sportswear or streetwear from Supreme, Stussy and many other legendary brands! They also have the friendliest staff of any young retailer. I hear they are opening a 2nd store, great news.
