horrible belt but the shirt and blazer were just perfect. When it comes to events like this, If youre not actually celebrating a dead one, its just another reason to get dressed up. I’m cool with costume just about any day, but I will tear you apart… When we got into the park, there was the most beautiful & scary trees, altars & costumes. This cat definitely wasnt scary but he had one of the best looks I’ve seen in SF so far. a mockneck with a beret. very art director from back in the day. There were some older cats that really turned it out. went in, worked it. cant be mad at someone that just showed up and wasnt in costume. I of course liked that he had contrasting shoe laces. Another cat that wasnt dressed up for the holiday but just had great colors! theres something special about a fella in a not precious beanie. non sagging, non cashmere etc. say what you will about his clothes clothes. He is killing it. oy, nakedness in garages along the parade route. Too many idiots/brands/stores are abusing fedoras and fur felt hats in general, this one I think I like. (he almost looks like he’s a 70’s rocker) This dudes camera strap was pretty cool. very cool.
A purdy bird.
Watch kinda effed it up, but I like the scarf with the western shirt.
Walking on Lafayette I ran into some of the Needles/Nepenthis/Engineered Garments fellas. Had a few of them bare their soles. Of their socks that is. Coincidentally I ran into them again the next day in the shoe dept. of Brooks Brothers…
A quick backshot to see their bags…
These are some old Needles Birkenstock I think. Thyre beyond amazing. Look at that sole, That hardware!
The next day, outside Brooks Brothers uptown.
Just like when I photograph people, I try and capture the fabric, color and textures of their clothes. I love that you can almost feel the quilted leather…
side note: my bar mitzvah shirt was christian dior, came with dior gold (tone) cufflinks. Love you Mommy. You’re the best.
The back pack is what initially caught my eye. Was on the fence about posting but Luis asked so nice to see them and thyre too large to email…
Marcus stays fancy. Love how his DB jacket fits so well. A trend I see and dont love is fellas having their shirt cuff rolled over the blazer or sweater, HOWEVER, I like how Marcus does it. I think its simply cuffed because its long and he doesnt want it to extend too much, I dont think he tried to really expose it expose it and cuff it over the blazer… You can see what I/m saying on his left cuff, how it isnt really how the kids are doing it. Nick Sullivan of Esquire Magazine looking smart also in a cotton DB jacket. Thomas Oatman of New Republic Clothiers And a good DB lewk from Antonio Azzuolo. His sweaters as usual, were pretty awesome. Oh how I love this man. He shakes his head and says, sure take my picture if you want, I do need a haircut though. And sure enough, I found out he had gotten his hair cut later that day! Sorry Jerry, I’d have waited but needed this early morning photo.
Colin Eisler says “sure, take my picture, but you should come with me to the steps outside of my werk. My wife was photographed there for a fashion magazine once” I went along for the walk, but the lighting wasn’t werking for me. He also let me know all his clothing are from various second hand stores around NYC. What I would do for a DB khaki suit…
