Kaufmann Mercantile Store | All The Best
Since launching our new company General Knot & Co. a few months ago, I’ve become an increasingly enthusiastic Twitter-er and Facebook fan. Whereas both were always great tools to use for keeping in touch with friends, they are now additionally perfect for making connections to entire industries of related products, information and business partners. And [...]
Vintage Fabrics | Neckties | General Knot & Co.
With the encouragement of friends and family (and a whole lot of work), General Knot & Co. has officially become a reality today. It’s been many months of inspired work- more fun than work actually. Years of vintage shopping at flea markets, estate sales, and hole-in-the-wall shops, helped drive the concept and partnering up with [...]
Commercials for Guys
Yes, we men are predictable creatures. You can sell us anything by playing to our weaknesses- Girls, Sports, and aspirational Coolness. With that said, it really is a wonder how Madison Avenue survived its heyday by putting out the cheese as demonstrated by the accompanying commercials. All things are relative though- I assume that people [...]
GQ Style Manual
This season’s GQ Style Manual is a welcome hearken back to the original spirit of the ubiquitous men’s fashion magazine, with all the modern style and polish expected in a current publication. The “manual” covers top coats to ties and hats to suits, and everything in between. Each element is displayed with great-looking product and [...]
Bags | For The Smaller Things In Life
I’ve admitted being a bit obsessed with collecting bags- shoulder bags, backpacks, computer bags, duffle bags, they all catch my eye and seem to find a place in my revolving supply of “necessary” belongings.
Mesrine | Killer Style
Vincent Cassel as Mesrine and Cécile De France as Jeanne Schneider Okay, here is my prediction of the obvious… The visual impact of the Mesrine films (Mesrine, Killer Instinct & Public Enemy #1) will be on the tips of the tongues of the fashionistas in the very near future. The fashion “industry” is in a [...]
Original Penguin Fall 2010 Photoshoot | Behind The Scenes
Getting the details right at the Fall 2010 Original Penguin photoshoot A brand that I hold in high regard and close to my heart is Original Penguin. Around since the 1950′s, Original Penguin has remained a constant- always cool and true to it’s brand heritage. From what I’ve seen so far of the coming Fall [...]
Undefeated Denim
Undefeated, one of my all-time favorite shoe shops is releasing some beautiful denim today. Crisp raw selvage denim with a nice slim leg- and at $98.00. How can you beat that? That $98.00 price tag implies that they might actually want to SELL some of these! Thanks Undefeated for always putting out quality, stylish, attainable [...]
Vintage Levi’s Labels
A very small collection of some vintage labels I photographed while out at the Levi Strauss archives in San Francisco. Please accept my apologies for the quality of some of the photos- the security guard was getting suspicious (actually, just my shoddy photography work).
Ebay Time Machine | Rolling Stone Oct. 5, 1978
Ebay is the ultimate time machine. Where else could a person just type in what they’re looking for from a specific place and time and actually have their wish granted? Ok, it’s not exactly a sure thing- but, if you’re patient, sooner or later you’ll find it- as with this Rolling Stone magazine from 1978. [...]
