This guy continues to churn out work that just couldn't be any more perfectly up my alley. Gotta get a piece or two.

STAG Teaser!!!

I've been keeping this fairly well under wraps on DETOUR, but as some of you know, I'm opening a new men's clothing (and lots of other amazing stuff) store with four other guys in Austin in a few weeks. It's called STAG (sign up for our mailing list on the site) and will be a destination for current fashion with classic roots, gifts that are inspired and unique, and furniture & other oddities for living the life of a modern gentleman. STAG will represent the spirit of style icons like Steve McQueen, Michael Caine, Paul Newman, and Willie Nelson while looking forward to fashion’s next wave. We'll be carrying Ralph Lauren RRL, Burkman Bros, Oliver Spencer, Penfield, Rockmount Ranchwear, Oxen, Filson, Frye Boots, Hamilton Watches, Tanner Leather Goods, etc. etc. etc. - and it will all be supplemented with really great vintage pieces. It's gonna be a blast, and we had a tiny little preview pop-up last night at Mercury Design Studio. A few pics of our setup below.

Life's a Bitch and Then...

My grandfather is 90+ and has been in an old folks' home for nearly a decade after suffering a stroke that paralyzed half his body and fucked his brain. Fortunately, the one liners he now spits out on a daily basis are void of any societal filter and will put you on the ground with their biting and witty humor. It's one of few benefits (to his audience at least) of growing old. I can only imagine that old age is a complete bitch and a half. Young Barcelonian (not sure if that's a word) Salva Lopez documented the lives of some old Spaniards in his series called Roig 26. Interesting work:

At Least You'll Have The Western Sky

One of my favorite bands of the last five years or so is Richmond Fontaine. I did a piece for REFUELED Magazine on them a while back, and they just released a new record this week, We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River. Love the title. Love the band. And I love this song. A forlorn plea to a friend (presumably living in New York City) to return home to Portland. Neither city is ever mentioned, but the band resides in Portland and the imagery is all Pacific Northwest-y. A good one. "You Can Move Back Here."

Old Photos Score

Working at Uncommon Objects for close to five years gave me the luxury of having thousands of vintage photographs at my fingertips. Here are a few I found - and purchased - recently.
