Structure
Trying to find a few more examples of the “fancy” hoody I was talking about seeing in San Fran. The top 3 are from Life After Denim, the 4th from Nobis, and last is, of course, that shirt from BR. Not all hoodies, and yes, still military in there, but maybe that’ll give you more [...]
In the Bag

Dievas Vintage
Really nice new line of vintage inspired watches from Dievas. I’m sure these probably get the rag from the hardcore trads but I’m still a fan. I think they might even be better on women, for that old timey hand me down from grandpa look.
