my stuff-thrift store finds

By jon | Published: September 2, 2010
I’ve been going to antique stores, thrift shops, and garage sales since I can remember. When I was little it was all about cool toys or army stuff. In high school it was finding the most obscure, non sequitur t-shirt. Now it’s furniture, found objects, and outerwear. I found these shirts and sweater at a [...]

nice sweatshirts

Now that everyone and their mother knows about selvedge, it’s time to find the next new-old technology. While loop-wheeled cotton has been around forever (and hugely popular) I never understood why more brands/labels don’t use it in their products. Loop-wheeling machines weave the cotton in a perfect tube shape. Which eliminates the need for side [...]

apolis activism

By jon | Published: April 6, 2010
Apolis Activism are getting a lot of press lately, and rightly so. Their revamped website is great and their spring/summer offerings are top notch. I actually got to meet Raan Parton a few summers ago in New York.  He couldn’t have  been a nicer guy. We joked and told stories over really nice scotch that [...]

nice spring/summer gear

By jon | Published: March 19, 2010
Jeremy pointed out the awesome Japanese store Uncle Sam to me last night and I have to say, that guy has a pretty sharp eye. What caught my attention the most was the Monitaly gear they have. Monitaly is Yuki Matsuda’s clothing company. Both Yuketen and Monitaly fall under Matsuda’s Meg Company umbrella. While Yuketen is [...]

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, [...]

my stuff

By jon | Published: March 9, 2010
The weather has been pretty great these past few days. Not warm exactly, but certainly not cold at all. I know it’s going to drop down again, but I  had to take advantage while it lasted. I picked this shirt up from UrbanOutfitters a while back. It’s pretty decent considering the price point. Buttoned all [...]

my stuff

This reproduction of a pilot’s helmet bag has quickly become my go-to bag. It’s lightweight, waterproof, and has a ton of carrying capacity. If  you’re in the market for a tough, cheap tote, get yourself to your local Army Surplus. I told you it could carry a lot. I’m a big fan of slipping my [...]

nice base layers

By jon | Published: February 24, 2010
The kind people at Uniqlo sent me some awesome gear for the winter. The key to staying warm is layers. Layering sometimes isn’t the most friendly to the kind of sartorial nonsense I generally get into. But these HeatTech shirts are near perfect. The key to a good base layer is striking a balance between [...]

nice sunglasses

Moscot has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Founded in 1915 by Mr. Hyman Moscot, the company has been providing classic, understated eyewear ever since. The Lemtosh is by far my favorite model. I love the rounded shape and I don’t think you can ever go wrong with tortoise shell. Buddy Holly [...]
