Walking through meatpacking one day during fashion week I ran into Sean & Charlotte who stay killing it in the dress up dept. I ran into them in Paris during fashion week last year.

Tucked away in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood is Al’s Attire. At first glance I thought it was a custom shoe maker but after a look inside you can see Al makes shirt, pants, hats and lots of crazy stuff.. I love a retail space thats trapped in time, old hat boxes decorating the walls etc…Thats Al in the denim coveralls. While I dont love everything, I love that he sews everything right there and shapes & blocks hats!
I have seen this gentleman two or three times in passing on these city streets. This was taken a few years ago on the corner of Prince and Bowery i think. I love how he has a crest (pin) opposite pocket of where he keeps his pocket watch. Great fedora too. Hard to wear a small brim when youre not exactly small but he pulls it off well. Pleated trouser without really looking very full is a bonus. Last time I saw him was on the street with all the theatres after a play let out, I ran to shoot Larry King and passed this guy. Not sure why.
