The 5th Annual ‘LO Goose On The Deuce is growing bigger and deffer each year. I put this clip together so you could see some of the names and faces of the founders to the Lo-Life movement.

I’m trolling Bloomingdale’s like a muvv right now. They have a few pieces I want to add to the archive and they have a section that is taking 50% OFF the lowest ticket price.

I caught this jacket in that section and I’ve been surprised to see how many remain. The Tim field boots were an eBay steal tho’. Y’all still sleeping on the Timberland field boot. Don’t say I didn’t warn you that its going down this year.

Finish Line has your boy str8 flourishing!

My mans-n-them Loso del Fresco came up top to NYC from the District and we hung out hardbody this weekend. Fried chicken and red velvet waffles from SoCo in Fort Greene, dipped over to Kings Plaza to get some Brooklyn swag shopping on and then went to see the Nets play the Cavs at the Barclays.

After the game I was in hypebeast mode and I copped my first pair of Kd VIs. The NRGs aka the un-N3RFs.

Shouts to ALL the Sneaker Fiends Unite! supporters.

Today I went to the brick and mortar Finish Line store (in Newport Centre Mall.NJ) to swap my Air Max Flyknits for a sz 12. I fux with Finish Line because they are one of the last sneaker stores in the game to have a clearance rack.

Outfit Architecture…

Outfit Architecture is more than simply styling yourself for oohs and aahs. You have to create a ‘Fit that functions for the moves you are making.

The fair isle knit sweater and pinpoint button down oxford are dayjob staples. I usually put a tie on even when I don’t tuck in the shirttails. Ties give you a certain gravitas.

I popped tags on some crispy 501s and even put on some new ‘LO socks (made in Japan). This ‘Fit was all about comfort and flexibility. Something to go from working during the day to playing the city at night.

The final question was which Timb boot would hold down this conservative ‘Fit. I choose the Intervale Mids because I wanted to be quick moving ahead of this oncoming snowstorm. I made it back home just in time.

the clash

If there wasn’t already a reason to revisit Great Britain in the new year there is now that the Lifestyle brand is turnt up. Polo Ralph Lauren has been making some U.K. exclusives for years now that are simply heatrox. If he doesn’t bring these pieces to the states I am definitely catching a flight on the Concord.

The classic military jacket done up with all the import that Ralph loves to attribute these things with

I’m mad the model is wearing flip flops and shorts tho’ and this I.T. isn’t being offered in the U.S. Dude looks just like one of these NYU fuxbergs I see in the Starbucks in the Village.

Nice patchwork and details as always.

The back of the jacket is official Dipset tissue.

This unassuming flight jacket is heirloom status

Not just because it’s reversible

Not just for the zippers and the patchwork…
