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).
Saw dude while shopping at Ralph Lauren’s RUGBY shop in San Francisco over the weekend. He overheard me telling a friend to try a shetland sweater. I think it was when I compared it to a Shaggy Dog that we connected… He was wearing 993’s, Levi’s and this great Patagonia jacket he purchased 20+ years ago. We got onto talking, He loves Patagonia and L.L. Bean, however he isn’t happy that Patagonia nor L.L. Bean Signature doesn’t ship to Japan. Regular LL Bean does, but signature does not. He remarked how he thinks his jacket is “from the days Patagonia was designed by a woman” The Rolex he also bought about 20 years ago! He recently bought a Patek Philippe watch that he was on a four year waiting list. Intown to check out restaurants as he is in the food business. 
I’ve been working with the nice folks over at Wm. J. Mills & Co. on two briefcase style bags in this purple stonewashed canvas. If you are not already familiar with Wm. J. Mills & Co. They have been in the game since 1880. Each bag is hand sewn (double-needle stitching).
Email me for more information. Expected delivery will be for Spring. Read more about the bag here: http://theglengarrysportingclub.blogspot.com/2011/01/wm-j-mills-co-laptop-carryall.html

We've all seen Buddy Lee dolls, but I never get tired of shooting the lil' guys. 
Did you read this shirt?? 
The next time you find yourself in San Francisco do yourself a favor and stop by the the recently furnished Levis store. On the lower level where the Tailor Shop is housed, LVC has stocked the floor with all 9 Made In These United States 501’s from 1890-1966 (1890, 15, 33, 44, 47, 54 501z, 55 & 66). If denim isnt your flavour, youll find a bevy of the most classical of american vintage items along with a sprinkle of LVC 1920’s Made In America tees, henleys, Sunset shirts and a personal favorite, the 1936 Type I jacket. Love a pleat & buckleback!
The vintage tees, flannels and military pants (ALL MADE IN USA) sit on repurposed white oak barn siding that has been plane & sanded. (for you interior folk) 
denim wall- Constructed from salvaged city of San Francisco scaffolding that was deemed unsafe for SF city workers..ties nicely with the city that gave birth to Levi’s & the 501!
50’s L.L. Bean 
70’s Harley Davidson 
I love how the masking tape they used for inventory purposes remained on! 
In addition to selling vintage and LVC, the tailor shop is now cranking out aprons of canvas duck and lining a selection of Big E type 3 denim jackets with 1940’s camp blankets. I normally have problems with reworked vintage but i quite like these.
Two jeans from 1890-1900 are being redone. The Barnyard (shown above) and the Spurbites shown below (worn by some cowboy, the cuff area is all beaten up from his spur) and will be available at this location. Both jeans were originally made right here (w/ pure indigo dyed 90z Amoskeag plain selvage denim) in Hippie Dippie San Fran Skippie.
