Off the Hanger: Skate Ski

Maybe it’s the Olympic spirit that has motivated me but we’ve managed to get out a few times this winter to hit up the fantastic trails just north of us for a few skate sessions. This time of year usually lends itself to good snow so hopefully there will be a few more trips (as [...]

Off the Hanger: DoubleButter by Day

We bat the fashion ball back and forth with quite a few folks but the the boys at DoubleButter have to be the most vociferous about their stance. More than anyone we know, they stand by their uniform and are pretty relentless implementing it every day. They sent us some pics (damn fine pics) of [...]

Off the Hanger: Hill Street Blues

Pretty revolutionary show for its day and the styling of Bruce Weitz character on Hill Street Blues set the stage for the plain clothes hardcore TV cop image. Sweatshirt – Warehouse Hat – USN black wool watch cap Canvas Gloves – White Ox elastic band chopped off of course Belt – 1 3/4” to hold [...]

Off the Hanger: Gump

Really solid styling in this movie. Re-watch just for the consistent look Forrest keeps from leg brace days to telling bench stories. Also reminded me of the amount of CG work that was added to the film (looks dated now) but I think blazed the trail of thinking for its integration into all genres. Shirt [...]

Off the Hanger: Pond Hockey

Somehow I got roped into an upcoming 3 day marathon pond hockey tournament, so its time to get on the ice. Luckily it has been colder than hell so the ponds are in good shape for weekend pickups. I’ll probably go full gear when the time comes but the weekenders are a little more casual. [...]

Off the Hanger: Gaucho

Somehow I need to translate bits and pieces of this look into my every day kit. I’m always up for any sort of cowboy influence and I think the Gaucho look is probably about as honed as it gets. Belts on belts on belts, scarves on ponchos and most importantly, lots of big knives. Fun [...]

Off the Hanger: Treasure of the Sierra Madre

My first introduction to this film was by a high school geology teacher that would throw it in during downtimes in the class schedule (which seemed to be more often than one would think). It was always a crowd favorite. A fabulous film with great life lessons like gold can ruin your soul and that [...]
