Anonymous asked: What's your educational- and workingcareer this far? Would be inspiring to know how you ended up this way!

I basically paid my way into the industry and slept with a whole bunch of important people.

Anonymous asked: If there is one item of clothing that a person should own, what is it?

Money, old money.

Anonymous asked: Your boy is on that denim novice initiate status, so he's come to the source with his question: how does one go about 'washing' their raw selvedge? I'm afraid that if I go into this blind I won't get the sick fades #menswear has been yelling about...

Wear for 6 months straight and then wash as normal.
Note: You will smell like a homeless person.
I’m over that wear to perfection shit. Just buy a pair of GANT Rugger Stick Boy mediums and get on with your life, smelling like roses, looking like a based God.

ricep0d asked: My favorite boy is moving to Paris. I want to give him a hat. The beat-up-and-keep-forever hat of his dreams that would convey the entire canopy of love I have for him. Do you have recommendations? (he also follows you so err, be cryptic)

A Panama.

Errythang else blows.

Also, it will age beautifully, and they get nicely trashed and worn in in no time.

Also, all men should own one.

Not so cryptic, but still..

henkesven asked: I love the stuff you do with Gant Rugger. But why no selvage denim ( I'm talking jeans now, not aprons)?

Our model “Stick Boy” feature a loose tension, bright lemon yellow stitching along the inside of the sideseam (where you would normally find a selvage on other, less chill, brands)

It’s an hommage to vintage Levis 505’s that did not feature a selvage but rather this specific little beauty.

Designed with one intention only: True vintage nerds will glance at your fold-ups and think “Fo shizzle, that dude knows a thing or two about vintage jawnz and shit, he is a based God”

Thanks for playing.

Anonymous asked: I just read that you are working on a leather holdall. That is great news. It is extremely hard to find one that is properly made, with appropriate measurements, and at a decent price. The Mulberry clipper leather holdall is absolutely perfect in size and construction, but its price is ridiculous! Please keep the little guys in mind when pricing! Thank you!

It’s going to be insanely expensive.

Anonymous asked: Plain toe bluchers- which brand do you wear? Any reco's for student budget? Beckett simonon?

I’m sporting MTO Crocket & Jones Cordovans, I’m so the wrong dude to ask for budget stuff, sorry broheim.
My tip: go vintage and you’ll get ace stuff without going bancrupt.

Don’t buy cheap shoes. Ever.

(And hey, you’re a student, fuck you wanna wear plain toes for? You should be in Tretorn Nylites raising hell kid.)

Anonymous asked: What is your favorite jean brand? If I am not mistaken you are a fan of APC's (in gq article it looked like them), no?

I’ve been wearing GANT Rugger “Stick Boys” only for the past 4 years.
Put on, worn in, washed out.

girlsack asked: REALLY loving the slipcase! I've been receiving a ton of compliments : D

Wait till you see the weekend holdall in the same leather for SS14…GAH!!

Looks like a gazillion dollars, will probably cost as much.

goodpeoplegofar asked: How do you feel about the A&F Co. (Heuer) Seafarer? Are you strictly a Rolex fan?

Some vintage Heuers are extremely nice, early Autavia’s for instance, but personally I’ve stuck to Rollies so far. Not that I’m a big collector tho.
