This week I’m going to finally pop tags on some surplus utility themed lifestyle. The modern explorer motif is seeping into my overall look for the spring.
The sweater is one of my favorite pieces in this recent vintage. The item is clean until you get a load of that native American print under the hood. The button-down was $12 Macy*s comeup but I’m really hype for the socks which were $2 at Marshall’s.
I’ve been wearing these Timberland x Rag & Bone moccasins a lot lately. I bought a pair off eBay for $200 and then found another pair at Century21 for $100 so I had to double up.
I’m not going to let the Air America lifestyle take over my whole steez. The next Outfit Architecture will be a return to the sportswear apparel we love so much. Thanks for checking in.

Rest In Peace Iz The Wiz
The early 1970s saw the growth of graffiti in a way that only its pioneers can explain. Classic Hits, the most visual book documenting this time period of graffiti art, tells the story from the view of originators Taki 183, Blade, Iz the Wiz, Alan Fleisher, and more.

When we posted the Tibetan Lifestyle drop a week ago one of the commenters said that the pieces weren’t up to par. I’m not sure who the commenter is but they don’t seem like someone familiar with the Lifestyle at all or at least why we do this thing in the first place.
I’m not saying that you cats who post links in the comments don’t have it going on like that, but I take most comments with a grain of salt. I don’t see anyone on the internets doing it for the lifestyle other than the people I have talked about on this page. Mostly everyone else are voyeurs and poseurs.
No shots to anyone try’na build their archive up either. This shit has taken up nearl,y 3/4ths of my life and ALL of my money. You could never afford to be as fly as me because I can’t even afford to be as fly as me. LOL. So when these Polo pieces arrived I was more than pleasantly satisfied to see that money was well spent.
The aviator jacket is HARDBODY. I thought I only had a dragon print on one sleeve. Nah party people it was on both sides.
The image and insignia on the back of the jacket is mean as fux. If this jacket was leather it would easily have cost a stack or better. The details on this piece are so on point.
The dragon scarf was my little gift to myself. Fat guys like myself are relegated to rocking graphic scarves as our favorite pieces now that we’ve grown to big for sweaters and knits. This scarf is the size of a blanket and the knitwork is so light and silky smooth I’m mad I didn’t buy another to put on ice.
Polo Ralph Lauren is far from cheap, but if you have the means to treat yourself for all the hard work you do I suggest you copp either of these I.T.’s before they are gone for good.
Never Believing The #Hype…

The streets of NYC were alive for an anticipated Air Jordan midnight release. The Air Jordan 4 retro ‘Cavs’ ‘Metropolitans’ dropped to another level of hypebeasting for synthetic rubbers and leather materials.
I was there hypebeasting.
Or so I thought…
