The Dominican brothers from Corona never met a soul sample they couldn’t spit their shit to. Timeless Truth is hard at work in the lab cooking up their latest full length project called ‘Cold Wave’. Before this drops early in the new year they are giving their folks an EP of real rap titled ‘Dominican Diner’.

This track ‘Out Of The Loop’ is off the EP.

Outfit Architecture…

Outfit Architecture is the next wave for all advanced Lifestylers. Those of us who have been doing this thing for years have enough pieces in our archives to assemble outfits for weeks.

The winter supply line soldier looks something like this below.

I was so thirsty to post this ‘Fit I didn’t wait for the knit watch cap. I’d like to ask y’all what color should I make the cap? Orange rust or should I pick up the plum colors?

This trekking parka is one of the gems from the 2012 Modern Explorer series.

Bloomigdale’s is once again the top shop on my list for catching the end of season sales.

Everyone in fashion has been all about these pants with the jersey cuffed ankles. Blue label made these pants during the Hi-Tech era and I just unearthed them from my archives. I could see RL doing these again from the Denim and Supply brand.

These pants are designed specifically for the winter since they are lined throughout.

If you are a frequent visitor to this page you remember we put this shawl knit on the wishlist a few months ago. Bloomingdale’s offered the sweater for $100 which was basically 75% the MSRP and squarely in the comeup zone.

The best part of this acquisition is the young lady working the floor who knew I was looking for this piece held onto one in the backroom hoping I’d make a return trip to the store even tho’ I was there earlier in the week.

I’m about to turn shit up for the 6″ Field Boot as I did for the Iditarod Superboots and the World Hikers. This is a classic Timberland style that must not be slept on. Forget what the most popular rappers are wearing because they ain’t up on this.

I also brought out some NWT Rugby brand socks just for the holidays

The aftermath of the Zwarte Oiet shopping trip was a pair of sneakers I could ill afford. LOL. But how could I pass on these shoes? They only had size 12 in stock?!? It was like a Christmas miracle.

Remind me to use Drizzilino as the background sounds on my next Air Jordan acquisition video.

I’m advancing the art of Outfit Architecture with the Modern Explorer 2013 I.T.’s I’m accumulating.

The ‘Fit begins with the footings foundation. The classic contractor boot from Timberland in a cranberry buttersauce.

Cotton cargo pants. I need two(2) of these.

The Timberland contractor boots are a collab with the retailer VILLA.

The JTM (Join The Movement) boot is part of VILLA’s contribution to a local Philadelphia boys and girls club they support.

Getting fresh and giving back is the foundation (footings) of Outfit Architecture

PRL’s Modern Explorer series returned in fall 2013 with a consistent pedigree. It wasn’t too flashy, but it was well made wearable design. These are the pieces that become your weekly staples for years to come.

Macy’s and Modells are two of the classic NYC spots for you to come up on some affordable luxury.

I’m feeling these urban hiker Timberland boots called the Intervale Mids. The shoes are waterproofed and insulated but mostly they are affordable quality. Modells had them for $90 and I kick myself for not copping these from 6pm.com when they were selling them for $65

Macy’s coupon for this weekend is an additional 25% off of regular priced items and clearance pieces. $25 for the kniot and $35 for the zip-neck pullover.
