Ran into the best dude ever! Classic khaki styling on a weekend on the UES or here in Pacific Heights, SF. Hung around for him and a friend to finish their conversation, wasn’t happening anytime soon so I had to interupt which is always weird, but I have to. I never know what to start with when asking a fella if I could take some pictures of his clothing. While for a dude like this one its just a trench and a hat, I get very excited over khaki suits, tweed hats and furnishings such as a walking stick. So i cant ever keep my cool… 
Oooh the lapis!!
A better shot of the lapis. I dream of rings like these. Robert Bryan knows. He inscribed in his book “I leave you my last ring”
A profile of the Tweed Bucket Hat! 
Let’s see what we have going on inside…So long as the gent allows the inspection & documentation, I will further disect… His colors are so beautiful together.
The blue in the buttons of his cardigan and the lapis! Can you see the lined placket of his cardigan?! That’s quality, That is why he can still wear it 20 years or so after he purchased. It isn’t even too small, its just buttoned only on the bottom as he was just throwing it on to keep warm on his walk. He told me he wasn’t planning on running into me.
“These are Church’s or Alden, I forget” It doesn’t matter, I love how the pant breaks and the bleach spots on the bottom of the leg!
These remind me of when i saw Rene Ricard on the subway in Hermes black velvet evening pumps and they were all stained up! 
His watch is pretty special (especially with the ring).
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.
You would never know by looking at his choice of footwear, but this man is in his late 60’s. That briefcase, with the gucci webbing and leather (like?) handles is pretty awesome. There’s something special about an unconstructed brief.
Always been a huge fan of this bag. 
Motorola Razor 
Copped 2 pairs o' tennies
Denim underwear for the kiddies over their diapers. 
gangster with the red cloth out the back pocket. 
Stetson Open Road, I mustve shot this hat 100 times since being out West. 
Love me a needlepoint loafer 
Love old Jansport! 
Those vests the Japanese and cool guys everywhere lust for. 
Huge fan of a proper tab collared shirt. 
Hazy shot but one of the best looks I saw. 
Good look rock star. I dont really want to show you the full length, he kinda messed that part up. OK, here it is. 
We've all seen Buddy Lee dolls, but I never get tired of shooting the lil' guys. 
Did you read this shirt?? 
John came to San Francisco to study and worked at Cable Car Clothiers where I had gone and chatted with him on a few occasions. This particular day I saw him walking by the Levi's store in Union Square and had to make a quick photograph. Most young dudes in this country have no idea how to wear such simple items like a tennis, cricket, rugby or whatever you call it staple sweater with a polo shirt under and a chesterfield overcoat!
