new york city bound

By jon | Published: July 15, 2010
It’s funny how putting something on the calendar doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be packed in a timely fashion. I’m headed to New York this weekend. Mostly to catch market week but hopefully I’ll squeeze a little goofing off in. The brands at  (capsule) I’m looking forward to checking out are CREEP by Hiroshi Awai, Folk, [...]

Style & The Man

By jon | Published: June 29, 2010
I’m lucky enough to get a few free things in the mail every once in awhile. When Alan Flusser’s seminal tome Style & The Man arrived in my mailbox I was more than thrilled to check it out. While it sounds like a ’70s buddy cop series, in reality it’s a reissue of a great [...]

If Ted Williams tells you to shoot a deer, you shoot son.

By jon | Published: June 24, 2010
Last time I was at my favorite place in Detroit I grabbed a few magazines and vintage sales catalogs and brochures. As I was flipping through, I noticed the ads in a hunting magazine from the ’70s. Look familiar? Vibram soles are the jam. White ones on Yuketen Guide boots please. Think they still go [...]

my stuff- Army Surplus

By jon | Published: June 7, 2010
Army Surplus stores, depending on where you live (sorry New Yorkers) can be a great resource for everything from clothing to camping gear. For those interested in well made affordable gear, your local Army Navy is the place to be. The key in Army Surplus shopping is knowing what you want. If you want the [...]

Check out my Denim Debate update. These Flat Heads are easily one of my favorite articles of clothing right now. So head on over and marvel at how grown men refuse to wash their pants.

1970 Honda CL 350. Needs some work but it’s well on its way to daily rider status. See you on the road?

stuff to do

By jon | Published: April 19, 2010
On Wednesday I’ll be in New York City. I’ll also be turning 28. Why not celebrate the twilight of my 20′s in a great city? While the real reason for heading out that way is business, I plan on fitting in as much cheesy nonsense as humanly possible. Which means lots of bad photos, clothes [...]

BEAMS x Popeye

By jon | Published: April 12, 2010
It’s no secret that when I was in Japan I went a little periodical crazy. My cousin was amazed at how many magazines I stuffed into my carry on for the flight back to Shanghai. This BEAMSxPopeye Magazine collaboration is pretty cool. Popeye is a long standing mens style magazine and BEAMS is one of [...]

that infernal machine

By jon | Published: April 12, 2010
As if this place wasn’t enough I’ve gone and started a tumblr. Why you ask? I figured it’d be a great place to post photos I’ve taken that don’t really fit in here. I like to think of it as gettingbeatlikeyoustolesomething’s darkroom. Why not use a metaphor? It sounds way better than ‘I can’t get [...]

nigel cabourn x mono workwear journal

By jon | Published: March 16, 2010
When I took a few photos of the Mono Workwear Journal I asked if anyone wanted me to scan anything from it. Jeremy and Nick kindly requested a scan of the Nigel Cabourn story. Ask and ye shall receive. While the story features the A/W ’09 collection, I figured any Cabourn is good. The man, [...]
