Never sen anything quite like it. Two tone trench! Of course later that same day I saw a gal in a cafe wearing a trench that was completely two different colors!

Khaki motorcycle jackets are just too cool. Almost harder to wear than a leather version of the same styles..

London Part I

I wish i could say her dad had a tie on and it was tucked into his trousers, but he was probably wearing bootcut jeans with puma trainers and a skinnyminny 80's rocker tie tied loosely around his neck like a necklace as so many other european men are these days. but these school kids were dressed so well. With all these American Apparel stores poping up, and haberdasheries closing, where will the british dandies be shopping?

Craft L.A. Just a great shop

I was pretty mad when my friend Peter told me he was moving to LA, after him pleading with me to come out there, I finally paid a visit and glad I did. All the years of us chatting about Balenciaga, Alden and Turnbull are finally paying off…

When they broke down the walls, they found this really old graffiti on the bricks. Im glad they left it exposed like they did. Its not in your face- you sorta have to almost look for it..

Run by Peter, his Lady Rosa and vintage expert Bill;is this truly magnificent shop. Really a comfortable shopping atmosphere, in fact, you only get spoken to if you so desire, otherwise help yourself! No salesman following you from item to item lecturing you about the designer and all that bullshit. Just quality garments and shoes and good conversation. To borrow from a recent write-up on hyrcollective.com – http://www.hyrcollective.com/daily-blog/2009/05/craft-la/
The space is really nice and open, clean with a emphasis on reused wood and steel for the fixtures and quality on the clothing. Michael Williams wrote a great piece on Craft for GQ’s blog as well
