With all the shmutz Vegas and these tradeshows have to offer, theres a few diamonds in the rough.. and I believe i found them
I love denim on denim and stay tuned for a full feature on this topic!
He said it was his Michael Jackson tribute
This dude works for Pal Zileri,interesting to see an italian cat with a suit and chucks and harris tweed hat.. he was kinda killing it, minus the wool hat in the desert.. it was 103 degrees
How can you not love a guy with a fishing lure as a pin, cigar in his breast pocket and Belgian loafers? The monkey braces are as much a staple!
If you dont already own and wear a fur felt fedora from Borsalino, dont even think about wearing their ballcap. I want the purple joint bad! (my friends ask me why do they even make a ballcap, do you really want that)
GOURMET in your face, love these guys.. a new take on a bean boot isn't always welcome, but i liked it when Manolo did it for the girls and now from Gourmet.
On a recent visit to L.A. my friend took me around to see a few spots he thought I would like. When we pulled up to this spot, There was a gal in adidas running shorts, T shirt and flip flops on the telephone. She said “come on in” I ran through it and did my thing, asked a few questions which she didnt have answers to.. When i voiced my appreciation for the fine vintage pieces, she said “this isnt a vintage store, He will make you whatever you want, these are just examples”
long story short- after weeks of bothering my friend for the name of the operation, he finally wrote me today saying it has since closed !
THIS ONE BELOW PLEASE BE SURE TO CLICK ON BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
He told me he was an engineer and that the bldg we were standing outside of , 1411 Broadway was an opera house ! I’ll have to research this one.. He was so rad though, with his pocket protector, dotted tie with checked shirt and a tan seersucker coat.. that pins does me in though! Every time!
This salmon colored anorak from WWII surprisingly wasn't snatched up by anyone ! This is one of the best Brooks Brothers shirts I have ever seen. I already own a few variations of this shirt by them, but thats not why I didnt buy it. I was beaten to it by the boys who were shopping for Ralph Lauren inspiration. I felt better when i saw that it was priced at $145. To make it worse, it was 14.5 (my size) and if all goes as it should, will be seen in a Rugby store near you. We can only hope and pray it wont be embroidered with skulls and flags all over it. These dealers make it way too easy, I cant blame these designers for not bothering to really dig, wether it be on ebay or our nations thrift shops. And by thrift shops, I dont mean WCGA or Stock.. I really liked the pockets on this guys pants and sweatshirt. Interesting how its not a full zip. Cant tell whats going on with the bottom of his pants, were they cut short? gathered? dont know, but they look good! His bag was super cool as well, but this is all you're getting. I like this shot of jewelry designer Phillip Crangi "shopping" in his green cuffed pants and green rod lavers Dude from 45 RPM shoping.. I love sweatpants, I dont own a pair but have always wanted a pair. I really like how he paired them with rust New Balance, a flannel shirt and down vest ! Here with a trophy purchase ! I was watching forever to see who would become the lucky owner of this stripe painted oar. Not sure if you can tell from this photo, but this man here is in all classics- barracuda drizzler, smedley knit, oxford shirt, dungarees and moccasins. I love a chamois shirt. Have never seen an orange one. Great way to layer in the winter and I find they especially come in handy in the Spring time. Check out his monocle. And as if the orange isnt enough, Check out this turquoise one. I saw this fella carrying this here horse and asked if I could photograph it, He paid $400 and was "told" it was Pendleton. I didnt see a label anywhere, there was a tag on its tush, didnt say Pendleton or any company, just fabric contents and made in taiwan i believe. I hope it was at least made using Pendleton fabric but Ill never be sure.. Cool piece none the less.some more color out there in the fields. Below are some personal scores
