jrose — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:47:59 +0000

My ‘hood could be considered a veritable beer mecca. Compound that with the huge local biking culture and voila, the weekend plans are done. Wisely, most of the breweries a located within a quick ride of each other so making the jaunt to compare hops requires just a couple of cranks.

Off the Hanger: Stockholm

I was sent a pair of selvedge denim (thanks!) and found a book of matches from the Berns Hotel in the pocket. Got me curious about where models smoke so looked it up and found it’s a gem in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden. Since travel ranks high on my favorites list, I thought about a wknd trip to the land of black jean wearing rockers. And naturally, what would I wear for such a trip. In my mind Scandinavia is all grays and solids so I went with that – not to mention I don’t have Jedd’s skill with color anyway.

Naked & Famous Black selvedge denim
Tivi Zebra belt buckle. Local co, their motto is “hot like your mom, tough like your dad”
Life after Denim Silverlight shirt
Alden boots
Slushy Coat (I know, I know but…)
Freehands Ragg wool gloves – found via Sartorially inclined, made by the guy behind Cool Hunting. Sounds crazy, but admit it, it would make working that iPhone easier in the cold right? Right?
Elder martini with Absolut (of course) vodka, lemon juice, a bit of peach cordial and Elderflower cordial. Elderflower and Sweden fit in my mind only because of the drink they sell at Ikea.
Kurt Wallander Mystery – Swedish crime procedural books, read a few this summer, seems like the right travel book. And check out the BBC series with Kenneth Branagh in it just for the camera work alone. Red Camera I’m thinking?

Thanksgiving Drink List

jrose — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:04:38 +0000

Our family tends to err on the side of having more than enough drinks around the house during the holiday, these will probably be at the top of the list:

Crios Malbec Rosé
Mapema Sauvignon Blanc
Reginato Celestina Sparkling Rose of Malbec
Odell’s Woodcut Oak Aged Crimson Ale
Tentaka Kuni Hawk in the Heavens Junmai Sake
Gueuze Lambic Grand Cru Cuvée René Belgian Beer

Colorado Whiskey

For me, this is the time of year for whiskey. Or maybe time of year is just a convenient excuse. At any rate, local favorite Stranahan’s just moved their operation into my neighborhood. I think a bottle of their Snowflake edition would be a great holiday gift. But while I’m on the topic, I have to say I’m a bit disappointed in the restaurant they let open up on their spot, you’re on notice Rackhouse, anyone that describes their decor as Steampunk and then lets a guy down by basically being a sports bar complete with a million tv’s and bad video games, well, come on. Ditch those tv’s and games already. Except maybe the punching bag game, because, well, that’s fun.

Drink of the Week: Cognac Sour

Cognac Sour:

Cognac
Lemon Juice

Off the Hanger : Northern Exposure – Chris Stevens

jrose — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:43:34 +0000

You know I’m a ridiculous Northern Exposure addict. One reason, among many, was the classic wardrobe styling of the characters in the show (sans Maggie, phew). So I thought I’d put together some inspirational looks based on a few characters in the show.

Round one, the Chris Stevens look:

Red tee
Wrangler Denim Workshirt somehow the denim on denim look always worked
501′s
Carhartt Vest
Turquoise and skull rings
Red bandana
Fingerless wool gloves
Harness boots
Alaskan beer
Joseph Campbell and Portable Jung
