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!

Shade Shelter Shadow

Halflings

Sorry.

Keith Haring / Latest Steal

A 1985 K Haring Coloring book for kids.

I haven't seen this version before, I've only seen ones from the 90's.

Anyone knows anything about this one?

The Weight

Killer Vintage Nubuck

(Selvage chambray waistband)

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)

Le Pop!

Go or die.

Winter Wizard

Label goodness.

DEADSTOCK

J.C Penney selvage fabric

55 cents a yard..

(Not anymore)

Love / Hate

1930's work suit.

Some dudes would call this "full retard", but still..

Mittens rule I tells you!

Mittens, for girls only?

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.

Brionvega rr226

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.

All is well, The Bellinis are ready.

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.

In lack of a better word, awesome.

The Homerun!

You have broken the internet , rules OK, again.
