I'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.
If you've stopped in the Nolita RRL shop you know the fellas in there are of the nicest of retail specialists. Exactly the opposite of most stores today, you can actually hang out there, have a decent conversation that's not all about 'where'd you get those?' Brooks came to NYC a few years ago from sunny California and brings those vibes to Prince Street. Saw him earlier today at Ray's in a great old fedora and was reminded of these photographs I took last winter. One of the great things about working retail for RRl must be that you don't have to wear all Ralph Lauren product when working. The kids there are able to mix it up and do that quite well. I don't think they would wear other modern designers but they do mix vintage better than most people I see these here days.
This was taken on Bowery about a year ago. Im back here today so thought I’d post my friend Scott; who will school any of you in basketball. Always wanted that embroidered T from PEGLEG NYC.
What you are gazing at is probably all sold by now. I have way too many photos in my bank, I’m rich there… and share what I’m in the mood of. Sorry if I teased you, they have tons more!
I shared with you a taste of their designer assortment… What I didnt realy touch on is their extensive collection of deadstock and worn sportswear or streetwear from Supreme, Stussy and many other legendary brands! They also have the friendliest staff of any young retailer. I hear they are opening a 2nd store, great news.
I think these are some Timberland boots he custom made years ago, or maybe he just customized the interiors.. In one of my 1st posts I showed you a footbed- I think, may have deleted it… it belonged to this boot. Bob is a worker man. He gets filthy on a daily basis while creating his art. His beanie hat or whatever we want to call it isnt sagging LA style, its merely worn uptop, it felt about a hundred degrees in the loft, and this was shot as soon as we hit the streets, minuets later. Not trying to defend his hat wearing ways, Bob can defend himself. Those are RVSbyV for silver lining opticians in NY. Jordan does a swell job there in his soho eyeglass store.
