Postin’ on the corner after a days work…
Only in New York would you see a gentleman standing in a suit, fedora and french cuffed shirt at a busy intersection clenching a can of bud wrapped ever so elegantly with white deli napkins.

Hart Schaffner Marx & Hickey Freeman: Archival Photographs & Illustrations
I was excited to be able to visit the archive collection that has just been brought over from Chicago.
It's a hundred years of Hickey Freeman and Hart Schaffner Marx artwork, marketing materials,
memorabilia etc.
Hart Marx owns both Hickey Freeman and Hart Schaffner Marx brands. They bought Hickey Freeman from the heirs in the 1960's and Hart schaffner Marx was one of their original brands. they were three men who started the company. mr. marx. mr schaffner and mr. hart. immigrants – the classic story. the new company is Hart Marx LLC and is based in New York with manufacturing outside of Chicago and in Rochester. The Hart Schaffner Marx stuff was sent to NY from the Chicago office when they consolidated from 3 floors to one floor. The Hickey Freeman archives was sent from the factory in Rochester. Both brands have dressed a long list of politicians such as Eisenhower, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Ronald Reagan – Colin Powell. Obama is the newest to wear Hart Schaffner Marx and VP Joe Biden wore Hickey Freeman at the inauguration this year.
The Canadian Tuxedo is not always wrong
This is one of my favorite pictures of Rene Ricard, I wish you could see his Hermes pumps. Black leather with white socks. Oh, it was also snowing on this day! his socks were soaked. Love this man. Talk about ghetto chic.
While Im not a big fan of suspenders with clips exposed ( I dont mind when covered by a blazer). I do love his pleated jeans !
Rene !
Dante !
Peep his pleats
If you cant button your denim jacket and youre not posing for your next album cover, you probably shouldnt be wearing it. I have seen alot of guys lately wearing tight jeans, a vintage T- and a denim jacket. This guy is ALWAYS wearing some small canvas skippies. not VANS but some keds or fake keds. The kind that look femme!
Look at Johnny Hallyday ! Say what you will, These guys are wearing denim that fits.
Sean Lennon & Charlotte Kemp Muhl in Paris
Take note: a fedora and a bowler worn correctly, and not on the back of the head like pete doherty did (now all the hip kids in all the villages are copying). Some folks wear hats and some hats just wear the person… These kids are kiling it. daytime on the streets of Paris, why not. Thank you for stopping.
London Part I
I wish i could say her dad had a tie on and it was tucked into his trousers, but he was probably wearing bootcut jeans with puma trainers and a skinnyminny 80's rocker tie tied loosely around his neck like a necklace as so many other european men are these days. but these school kids were dressed so well. With all these American Apparel stores poping up, and haberdasheries closing, where will the british dandies be shopping?
This fella manages one of the Paul Smith shops
Thought this woman was so on point with her wide trousers, large brimmed fedora and leather jacket ! (she doesn't work in fashion)
Just a butcher working in his straw hat
