Pretty Green

I’ve always been into Oasis from the time I heard Definitely, Maybe in the mid 90’s. So when I saw that Liam Gallagher was releasing a clothing line, it of course got me pretty curious. The line is called Pretty Green, and it is looking much better than most star inspired [...]
Factory Feature For The Evisu Heritage Collection
Posted in Fashion, tagged collection, deluxe, evisu, heritage on March 30, 2009 | 7 Comments »
When I first heard about the lengths that Evisu was going through for an authentic, well crafted, and hardly normal collection of heritage issue denim, I was a little confused. By most people’s thought process…thinking of the two words Evisu and Heritage going together seems confusing judging by the years proceeding today. To be honest, [...]

A few days ago, someone mentioned a great idea to me on the Anniversary post about a ‘Best-Of’ if you will. I always wanted to repost some of the incredible photos from past posts on early 20th century vernacular photography. I figured there are probably a lot of people who don’t have the time to [...]

Alan Lomax was a man that everyone owes a bit of gratitude to, especially those in love with the blues. He singlehandedly recorded some of the best musicians of American folk and blues. Recordings from such masters and great men as Leadbelly, Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Slim, Woody Guthrie, Jelly Roll Morton, and [...]
LIFE: Hold Fast

LIFE’s feature of the high seas with the USN will always make me gush, and the best ones are the instances of hi-jinks from the sailors.
Brooks Brothers Seersucker
Posted in Fashion, tagged Brooks Brothers, seersucker on March 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Seersucker has, for me at least, been that thin red line between modesty and as some will say, the ‘go-to hell’ look. I’m to the point where I don’t think I could wear a Seersucker suit perhaps, but I will certainly partake in a pair of shorts in that demographic. Brooks Brothers rarely does wrong, [...]
