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. [...]

Lemon Twist | Graphic and Fashion Dynamic Duo
One of the great pleasures of my job with Mavi Jeans has been participating in collaborative projects with different artists. One project in particular was with the Lemon Twist Studio, a San Francisco-based design studio and fashion retailer. Owned and operated by Eric and Danette Scheib, Lemon Twist is part graphic art and photography springboard [...]
Backpacks | Got Your Back
Filson Rucksack After quite a few years of the shoulder bag and tote being the “thing” for a lot of guys, I’m starting to see a resurgence of the backpack- and there are some nice ones from which to choose. Personally, I’ve often relied on my North Face shoulder bag to carry my laptop (plus [...]

They’ve been on my feet so often that I’ll be ready for a replacement pair soon enough. (I’ve probably subconsciously expedited their demise so I wouldn’t feel guilty getting another pair).
Vintage Levi’s Shirts
What actually determines something is “vintage” is often debatable, but there is no denying the authenticity of these shirts. The genuine articles, these are. (What Goes Around, Comes Around would give their left leg for a 5 minute shopping spree in here). Photographed at the Levi Strauss archives in San Francisco- same day in fact [...]
Grahame Fowler Menswear New York | The Find
Grahame Fowler’s menswear shop is the kind of find that makes you stop and say “how come I didn’t know about this before”, when you happen upon it. Only open since last summer, I don’t feel too awful for just now learning about it (to be honest, my friend Michael of Wonderland gave me the [...]
Odin New York Menswear Shops
Odin in the West Village It’s always worth noting when you come across a shop that is run by a staff as nice as the clothes they sell. A lot of times it seems that the attitude grows exponentially with a shop’s price tags. Not the case at the Odin shops in NYC. Both the [...]
