ReplyDeleteThe parka is awesome and your hand made leather toggles are boss.
The generic man chukkas were on Gilt last week and I passed them up. Your pics > the product shots and have me regretting my decision.
Awesome stuff James.
Love it. I always love to get a peek at what cat's are actually rollin' with day to day.I think many times it's more inspiring than all the wishlist stuff we throw up on our blogs. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou're ready for anything with that lot! Nice post, a great insight into your tastes.
ReplyDeleteParticularly fond of the bag.

Woah dude. Exactly the same camera, and coat. Love that F.S.C parker... I'd been wanting to post something on it since I bought it a few months ago, but could find nothing online. Which makes it even better.
ReplyDeleteDifferent Filson in the mix, trade the Woolrich for an EG number, and aside for the glasses, we'd be comically matching stood side-by-side on a subway platform!
Nice gloves too.
Awesome post.
What are the NYC 'knife carrying' laws. I have a personalized leatherman, given as a groomsman gift. Will I end up in the joint if I take it on the subway?
ReplyDeleteI most be the only person that doesn't understand the whole Hill-Side fascination. I mean, just because it's selvedge cotton doesn't make it good, right?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, brother!
Don... I feel you on that.
ReplyDeleteBrother, that attire if entirely too warm for the winter we have been having in New York. Also, how can you be an advocate of those J Crew camp socks? They have a horrible elasticity to them, and a habit of falling down.
ReplyDeleteDear James,
ReplyDeletehow about a used/issued G10 from CWC
(look on the British ebay) and a Nato-strap
from the best manufacturer, timefactors.com ?
cheerio, dr.gailleton
@dr. gailleton, sure. Let me know if you need my mailing address.
ReplyDelete@Ulysses, the layering is quite okay, but thanks for your concern. True enough re: the camp socks.
I am just wondering, (as politely as I can) who can afford all this stuff? I love everything I have seen on this site but I most of the stuff is way out of a brothers price range.
ReplyDeleteTry LL Bean merino wool socks - absolutely indestructable, warm and inexpensive. I believe two pairs for $17...

hi james,
ReplyDeletejust send you an email regarding details.
cheerio, dr.gailleton
I had to run out and buy one of those Parker pens...gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI regret not picking up that F.S.C piece.
ReplyDeleteHow's the fit on your EFF cap? Unstructured?
