Oi Polloi just recently got a shipment of these gorgeous Engineered Garments Wing Jackets. It’s nice, because it’s kind of a mix between a flight jacket, a safari jacket, and a M65. Check out the rest of the selection as well. A whole lot of goodness from Mr. Suzuki.

Knife In The Water
Posted in Film, tagged knife in the water, polanski on February 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
One of Roman Polanski’s finest films, one that explains human humility and relationships.
A perfect film to watch when Spring is around the corner.
Alain Delon

The first time I saw Alain Delon on film was when I rented Le Cercle Rouge a couple of years ago. Automatically I fell in love with Jean-Pierre Melville’s style that contained long drawn out muted scenes surrounded by mystery, theme based cinematography, American made cars, beautiful women, and impeccable sense of fashion. However, what [...]

Levi’s – Wrath & Dust SS09 Collared Shirts
Posted in Fashion, tagged 2009, chambray, Levi's, Spring, summer, vintage collection on February 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
A few days ago I featured the Levi’s Vintage Collection, but in no way included all that the Spring/Summer ‘09 collection offered. Today I am going to feature the collared shirts from the collection thanks to the hard work from Repeat To Fade, one of my favorite vintage/work wear Americana blogs. The content and knowledge [...]
Capsule Winner Goes To Our Legacy

I’ve seen a lot of coverage on the recent Capsule show. Offerings from great companies like Loden Dager and the Quoddy collaborations from Selectism and Kempt.
The one company that really stood out for me was Our Legacy. I’ve always been pretty impressed with what they showed, but this whole gathering of garments was flawless. I [...]
Gonzo Knows

Can my bus, plane, or train match the feeling of standing out on a morning road with the sunlight in your face and the smell of new-cut grass all around and no worry in the world except how far the next ride will take you?

Hard Times
Posted in Uncategorized on February 23, 2009 | 5 Comments »
The subject of this fits well, as I started typing this…’Hard Times‘ by Cro-Mags kept ringing through my head. It’s funny that this follows an optimistic Spring-Must Haves list, but it goes without saying that something from both sides of the spectrum should be presented. Browsing through The Selvedge Yard, JP’s piece on the recession [...]
Spring Must-Haves
Posted in Fashion, tagged 2009, must-haves, Spring on February 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One great thing about spring and fall seasons are how vastly different they are in every way. Of course we know they’re different aesthetically, but in pure terms of simplicity v.s. variations when comparing the spring to the fall. The spring season really only has a few key items with very few changes. Whereas with [...]
