That brown shoe with the blucher, workboot laces are FIRE !!
AND FOR THE GIRLS
This shop is so well merchandised. Every mannequin!
I was pretty mad when my friend Peter told me he was moving to LA, after him pleading with me to come out there, I finally paid a visit and glad I did. All the years of us chatting about Balenciaga, Alden and Turnbull are finally paying off…
When they broke down the walls, they found this really old graffiti on the bricks. Im glad they left it exposed like they did. Its not in your face- you sorta have to almost look for it..
The shop has an incredible selection of vintage shoes, boots and outerwear to compliment the new pieces by Left Field, Alden, Sugar Cane and soon to come shirts by MISTER MORT.
Love a short sleeve sweatshirt, this vintage joint is no exception !

Run by Peter, his Lady Rosa and vintage expert Bill;is this truly magnificent shop. Really a comfortable shopping atmosphere, in fact, you only get spoken to if you so desire, otherwise help yourself! No salesman following you from item to item lecturing you about the designer and all that bullshit. Just quality garments and shoes and good conversation. To borrow from a recent write-up on hyrcollective.com – http://www.hyrcollective.com/daily-blog/2009/05/craft-la/
The space is really nice and open, clean with a emphasis on reused wood and steel for the fixtures and quality on the clothing. Michael Williams wrote a great piece on Craft for GQ’s blog as well

Dressed better than most fellas at the Jane Hotel. Love a girl in a tie, especially when its not tied all loose.
Stripes over stripes and tortoise do it for me..

I bring you what you I see, i report straight from the street. Be it outside the Jane or on Madison Avenue. This fella has on some interesting jeans. I love a single pleat pant, but theyre tricky.. Im not sure how I feel about his shirt or dainty cuff but I do like his sandals {on him}.. He has some footwear company I wish I had gotten the name of, but i was in such a rush to get the hell out of there, most of these evening spots people are not getting too dressed up. We all know the current state of menswear, but I still want to cry about the boys wearing their girlfriends jeans, guys wearing watches dangling off their wrists like its some kind of bracelet.. and my least favorite- T- shirts that dont hit the waistline.. who said it was ok for guys to show their lower back and navel? Some kids came over from France for some shopping at century 21 and daffys, rode the N R train around town, one of these tourists was holding on to the pole, or even worse- that bar over the seats on a crowded train- and some american kid thought it cool that this smelly euro trash tourist was casually showing off his navel and waist line.. similar to the fad of girls with navel piercings thinking they had to walk around with that section of their stomach exposed.
