Undercover S/S 2012
I love this styling– definitely inspiration for spring (which seems to be upon us!)

Allow me to play ‘dress-up’ for just a moment… though this was just before going to work. Fortunately my job has both given a necessity to suit wearing and the ability to buy one. What we’re working with:
Linen 2 piece suit by N. Hoolywood, Scarf by Junya Watanabe, Shirt by Thom Browne, Hat by Stetson (vintage)

Pee Wee Cragin Park Playboys
I love this information page on The Almighty Gaylords, one of Chicago’s most famous street gangs. Firstly– I have always been pretty obsessed with street gangs, secondly, the page is done in that awesome late-90s-early 2000s-Geocities style. The only annoying thing is that pulling images is a pain because of the heavy use of shockwave.. In any case, have a look– at least for the reference items: gang photos, graffiti, clothing, business cards!
Standard BDU Jacket– my standard this year (placed strategically alongside previous year’s favorites: Barbour, Letterman/Pendleton). Yours?
I hardly blinked when I saw these for sale online the other day, a pinnacle piece from his F/W 2009 collection, brand new Junya Watanabe ‘work-brogues.’ They weigh ten pounds each, and are hardly the comfort of red wings– but I’d be damned if they aren’t some of the finest pieces of footwear I’ve ever seen..
