Frank Brothers New York



Made by Fenn Feinstein of New Haven.
Kick-ass label.
(Check out that Pheasant-Dragon thingy)

I don't know if there was a lot of wiseguys around New Haven in the 50's and
60's, but what a name..
Something tells me you didn't fuck around with The Frank Brothers.
- What's that? You don't like our shirts?
- Forget about it..

TRUE HERITAGE






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

Recognize the building?
No? It's 268 York Street New Haven, where Gant Campus store opens up in a couple of weeks.
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.
10 bucks, and still worth it.
(smokes not incl.)
BEST LOCKER I'VE EVER SEEN


Sweet baby Jesus on a popcicle.
Available at Paula Rubenstein, NYC.
(It was a couple of weeks ago, might be gone by now)
Price? No idea.
Educated guess, it ain't for free.
GANT CAMPUS STORE TO OPEN IN NEW HAVEN!



New Haven will get it's very own Gant Campus Store.
It will be stocking the best of GANT, Gant Rugger
and Gant By Michael Bastian at the heart of our birthplace.

There's also a limited run of "Yale Co-Op" shirts hitting the store mid March.
(Will also be available at Bleecker and 5th Av)
All based on the same vintage fabrics that was sold in the old Yale Co-op
store back in the day.

Now there's two reasons to go to New Haven.
(The other would be Louis Lunch)

CLOSE UP AND PRIVATE



Sergei Sviatchenko.

Check it or die.


4 looks from the coming Prefall 2011 collection.

Based on the idea of a Math Club at Yale, New Haven during the 1950's & 60's, and their teacher.

Worn out cord blazers, yarndyed tee's, dot jacquard knits, a well cut two piece suit in italian wool, TNSIL.

The collection came out no frills, warm, welcoming and wearable.

Just the way we like it.
