Happy Hanukka.

Check out rippedbackpocket.tumblr.com instead.

Feels like this page is slowly dying. (as if anyone gave a hoot)

It's been fun.

Score!


Baking Table.
French, old as shit, and even more expensive.
Now all we need is a bigger kitchen.
(That'll be cheap too)
Shiver me timbers and call me Nancy.
Bake-off!

The Beatles
Digitally remastered









So, the Beatles are on Itunes.
Good for them, except the 70's silhoutte didn't do anyone a favour and no one
thought about remastering that part..unfair if you ask me.

A slimmer cut to the slacks, a tad bit lower waist on the jeans and a haircut.
Voila.
Now, you're ready for Itunes.

(Ringo and John - hopeless)

Mittens rule I tells you!




Well, at least these mittens wouldn't even piss on a pair of gloves teeth if their gum was on fire, that's how bad ass these mittens are.

(Behind the scenes shot from AW2010 shoot a.k.a The Cape Cod Sessions)

I rest my case, like foe shizzle.

Sorry about the crappy updates lately.
Here's a little something for you, should you have 6 grand to spare.

Got another 20 laying around? Then I would suggest you get one of these.
The 6234, among champion of watches



Ouch.

BAD TASTE X 2


Hell froze over last week when I went to Daphne's in Stockholm.
Christian Audigier made wine.


Apart from this slip, Daphne's is a very nice addition to our capitol.
A French Bistro for regular (wealthy) folks who enjoys a good meal.

I'm biased, I've known Daphne since we where 12. He allows me into his kitchen to whip up a sauce bearnaise from scratch at 2 am in the morning, drunk as a monkey.

Sadly, fashion will never be as rock'n roll as cooking.

1930's Filson


Union Made label inside the back pocket of a 1930's Filson brown duck canvas pant.
"Might as well get the best"
I'd say.
MADE IN THE USA
(ALL of it please)

Tell me there's at least one weaver in the US still doing shirtings?

FROM THE ARCHIVES
YALE


Late 60's in front of "Beinecke Rare books and Manuscript Library" at Yale.
The front guy is sporting Gants famous "The Woolster" at the time it was 23 buckaroos.
In lack of a better word, awesome.

Recognize the back collar button, the locker loop and the BD collar?
Yes you do.

Sweetness!

THE FISHERMEN OF CAPE COD


The real deal.
The short depth focus is less real, faked it in photoshop.
Need to get a Mark II..
AGAINST NATURE NYC







I totally forgot about this place.
The guys running it are worth the visit alone.
If it's up your alley, do not miss it.
Chrystie St.
The Box.


I can't remember where I saw this.
I want it.
Badly.
BEST OJ EVER



Get some at 10 Corso Como, Milan.

Educated guess, it ain't for free.
