The new Spring looks are definitely well out of the closet from looks ranging from A.P.C., Band Of Outsiders, and many more. A few looks that are definitely working their way up starts out with varsity jackets (ahem), worn-in denim, and double breasted suits….I’ll touch on each. Refinery 29 ran a fantastic article to give people an early heads up about what’s around [...]

Homemade Tattoo’s

Being one that actually has a tattoo that was performed in my kitchen and reads “Kiss The Bottle” of all things (Mom’s gonna love that one…); this is a interesting and kind of quizzical look at something I always thought was looked upon by most as a vile way of the art. There’s some great shots from the [...]
New Beginnings
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged brooklyn, new york on January 30, 2009 | 4 Comments »
As of February 1st, I will be a Brooklyn resident. With the move comes new, exciting features as well as a higher level for DR&DR. With that said…growing pains are indeed nigh. Posts may be a bit fewer until I am able to get set in my dwellings as well as exploring my new home.
I’d love if [...]
Bookster Tweed

I love English outdoors companies. They’re so stuck in their way that it’s hard not to appreciate their art even if you think tweed and cords are equally horrid. Bookster Tweed is one of those companies that I find myself finding a reason to go on a country-side expedition. The item that grabbed my [...]
VA to TN – A Family Correspondence

Entering into the 20th Century, my great-great Grand parents were seperated for a time due to my Grandfather having to move to Nashville for work. Work such as blue collar stints on railways, roofs, dams, and other jobs as the south began to build up as the decades went on after the war. There is [...]

For more pre-war blues, folk, jazz, and much more…head to Honey, Where You Been So Long? A blog dedicated to a vast collection of mostly out of print numbers. Can’t say enough about it. I’ve discovered quite a bit of music that I had never heard of prior.

Fidelity Wool M-65

I love this jacket because it comes in grey and has newer features to the classic design. The question has to be asked though. Why haven’t I seen more wool M-65 versions moreso than I have?

L.L. Bean – 1941
Posted in Fashion, Sport, tagged duck boots, l.l. bean, mackinaw on January 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
L.L. Bean is one of the last surviving American companies that at least, for the most part, still hold true to the genuine craftsmenship as they did decades ago. Save a few different manufacturing quirks, it’s still the great product that you see in these photographs.
I’ve seen the man above a couple of times through [...]
