Tommy Ton On Them Streets ~ Three Coats, Three days NYFW FW11

P2090033An older some may say vintage Margiela coat which is pretty special. I love how you can see the lapel, pocket and buttons under the fabric! Also love that he bought it 2nd hand. P2090035 P1340463Tommy comes correct daily. Here I share two of his looks with y’all. P2110272Not sure who makes this amazing plaid wool biker jacket but I’ve been seeing a shitload of leather jackets in this classic style, nice to see one in non-leather. I know Agnes b’ did em recently in a jersey fabric which was pretty cool too. P2110364Wat?! A neoprene ? lil DB peacoat sorta jacket? Interesting.

Bowery Bob In a Lock & Co Hatters Tweed Hunting Coat

P1300540 Bought this coat at a sample sale. Every few years I'll get seduced at some private sample sale. Im not talking about the vacant stores on broadway or in soho that have signs taped in window and idiots handing out flyers on the streets sample sale. I mean, a designer or brand or dealer inviting up their friends and family and serve drinks while people chit chat. In this case, the fella makes coats for stores like Paul Stuart and said it looked great on me… While it did, it was also a size big on me. I hate guys in tight coats, but I dont feel comfortable in an oversized one myself… This one has a swing vent or whatever its called. The pockets are lined for game… similar to the game pocket on a Barbour. Also has leather buttons that extend from the hand warmer pockets to the flap pocket for after you've shot something. Pure elegance to say the least. Im happy I have friends like Bob that are just that much larger than myself.

A Weekend Stroll On Fillmore

P1330843 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… P1330848Oooh the lapis!!
P1330849A 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”
P1330850A profile of the Tweed Bucket Hat! P1330851Let’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.
P1330852The 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.

P1330854“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!
P1330856These remind me of when i saw Rene Ricard on the subway in Hermes black velvet evening pumps and they were all stained up! P1330858

His watch is pretty special (especially with the ring).

Poly/Cotton Roll & a Nice Dimple

P1330705I'm not entirely sure (don't recall most of the night) how the blazer works under a Belstaff, but I like his vintage poly/cotton shirt and what looks like a similar blend in his tie. The collar has such a great roll and the stitching is pretty great too. The way the tie is still tight yet the top button un-buttoned is real casual elegance. I hate when someone just losens their tie and it dangles like an ornament. This looks marvelous. Great knot to boot.
