Ralph Lauren opened a new RUGBY store on Bleecker St. The shop is perfect, it really is. Vintage school boy blazers hanging along side their own tweed sport coats. The shirts and trousers were just spot on. Tab collar on a plaid shirt. Classic grey, plaid and striped trousers..Vintage watches with new grosgrain bands..Looking forward to seeing how the collection and store evolves.
Winter White with a Black Loafer & Red Rag Wool Socks 
I like the stay-pressed khaki on Josh with the slightly dressier boat shoe.
I failed to ask this fella his name, looks like I may have not even asked to take this photo… 
Classics worn by Christian of Ivy Style 
Love the orange socks with these. Not to worry, he had on short pants. 
Love winter white jeans but I like how Matt wears em in winter once dirty. 
Another day of this and another good look from Tommy. 
I love how Ben stays purdy classic with a bit of his own flair. 
While a desert boot is not the warmest for your dogs unless you wear with rag wool socks, Jared gets extra points for his winter whites & switching out the standard laces with some polka dot laces (his gals possibly?) 
Super rugged trouser worn by Phil Oh 
These were some of the coolest boots I saw this season. Half black leather and the other blue suede. Not sure if they were on the feet of Alex Badia or Luigi Tadini. 
Saved the best for last again. These creepers belong to a very special woman; Edina Sultanik of BPMW
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.

Yup, Engineered Garments poncho! 
All the buttons are different, and vintage! 
Lets just say pajamas, or my favorite things in the store. You may call them leggings, I call them longjohns! 
Feel that mohair! 
The crown jewel. So dope. 
More artwork waiting to be hung. Thank you much Angelo. That Nepenthes shirt is fire.
You gotta buy two pairs to pull this off. MADE WITH REST (not on shabbos)
