Each pair handmade in Southern California. PERFECT, I was just looking for a new pair of shoes for lawn bowling on Sunday mornings. "No, please, no more crumpets... I'm stuffed."

Marcello Mastroianni
And the coolest Italian ever award goes to... Watch 8 1/2 and he'll be your new favorite actor, watch Divorce Italian Style and he'll be your new style icon. And sorry, Steve, but Marcello was wearing the folding Persols long before McQueen made them famous.

Still Life NYC
My buddy Brad (DRINK MOLOKO) turned me onto this place a year or so back. All handmade on the premise, and custom to your needs... I guess wants. Color, details, brim size, whatever, you pick it they make it. You can call them up and place an order as well. Done it myself. I've had mine a while and it's still feeling nice. Caution: it will make you want to swing on lamp-posts and splash in puddles singing...well...singing in the rain.

The Langston $275.00Toyota 2000GT
When one thinks of 1960s Japanese cars, one would not normally think sleek. sexy race cars, AHH, but one normally doesn't think about the 2000GT. Now coveted as one of the "lost super cars", the 2000GT is perhaps the least talked about and seen cars. You take the Toyota badge off and everybody would ask how much you paid for that Ferrari. Produced from 67-70 with only 337 made. I would love to say you could pick one of these up for next to nothing cause it's an old Toyota, but you can't, so I won't. Style points out the tailpipe for days.

Steven Alan Los Feliz - OPEN
The fourth store in LA, the first outlet. By far my favorite shirts. A vital part of my "uniform", and highly recommended for anyone looking to sharpen up yet relax your look at the same time.
1937 1/2 Hillhurst Ave.

The Perfect Wallet
Il Bisonte. Italian made, quality Leather, no damn plastic or change compartments and enough slots for all your cards. I'm on my third (not because they wear out, cause they don't. Only because I kept switching colors til I found this one). Natural leather wears in with time and every one takes on its own color and patina.

Vans OG
They haven't changed since they started in Southern California in the fall of 1966. I don't remember a time I didn't own a pair of white/cream or blue ones. Jeans or khakis, Porsche or skateboard, yacht club or rock show, meets every requirement. And for $40, can you say no?

Ivy League
Someone asked me the other day if I could name the Ivy League schools and I couldn't do it. I forgot Penn, as I'm sure most would...right? I mean, are we sure they're in there? Just for fun, I got these jerseys together so no on will forget. In no particular order...
