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.

TRUE HERITAGE






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

Sweetness!
