Saw this cat in the SFO airport. As with most of my subjects, he was surprised I told him I thought he ‘looked cool’.
Turquoise shirt!
That wide lapeled blazer!
suede snap vest, unfastened!
Those Vans or canvas sneakers!
Oh, & I been wearing that hat lately. fond of a captains or fishermans cap.
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.
The kind folks of Engineered Garments invited me to tour their store that opens later today at 307 W. 38th St. in a space that used to repair sewing machines will now sell their collection as well as Nepenthes and Needles. In fact, the old signage is still there. Not covered or painted over, yet anyhow…
Bossman/Founder of Nepenthes & Needles designer Keizo Shimizu. I need those socks!! Hanging the work of Carrie Housman & Darbury Stenderu The show is based on designs they have done for Nepenthes in the past. I know its a sneak preview but Im gonna delve in a lil here. No two of the fourteen fixtures around the store are alike. There is one made of rare pieces of wood, cant remember the name of the wood but the Japanese use it for chessboards. favourite shirt. Suits insane. Love it. Costumey, yes, but I'm stuck in the 70's in my head. Rabbit I think. Made from actual Woolrich blanket fabric! I know some fellas who'll love this long shirt. Myself included. & just a few standard shirts for a more regular kinda guy. In the photo before this, that club collared black striped shirt on the left is so insanely beautiful. Mark McNairy for Engineered Garments. Exclusive Shit. Leather & Suede! Trickers Monks!!!!! Old bandannas made into patchwork pocket squares. They have scarves as well!
