Tommy Ton On Them Streets ~ Three Coats, Three days NYFW FW11

P2090033An older some may say vintage Margiela coat which is pretty special. I love how you can see the lapel, pocket and buttons under the fabric! Also love that he bought it 2nd hand. P2090035 P1340463Tommy comes correct daily. Here I share two of his looks with y’all. P2110272Not sure who makes this amazing plaid wool biker jacket but I’ve been seeing a shitload of leather jackets in this classic style, nice to see one in non-leather. I know Agnes b’ did em recently in a jersey fabric which was pretty cool too. P2110364Wat?! A neoprene ? lil DB peacoat sorta jacket? Interesting.

Bowery Bob In a Lock & Co Hatters Tweed Hunting Coat

P1300540 Bought this coat at a sample sale. Every few years I'll get seduced at some private sample sale. Im not talking about the vacant stores on broadway or in soho that have signs taped in window and idiots handing out flyers on the streets sample sale. I mean, a designer or brand or dealer inviting up their friends and family and serve drinks while people chit chat. In this case, the fella makes coats for stores like Paul Stuart and said it looked great on me… While it did, it was also a size big on me. I hate guys in tight coats, but I dont feel comfortable in an oversized one myself… This one has a swing vent or whatever its called. The pockets are lined for game… similar to the game pocket on a Barbour. Also has leather buttons that extend from the hand warmer pockets to the flap pocket for after you've shot something. Pure elegance to say the least. Im happy I have friends like Bob that are just that much larger than myself.

Brooks

P2160416If 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.
