J Keydge – Here to Stay? Could Be After All.

May 28, 2014 by The Weejun 2 Comments

Two years ago, almost to the month, I wrote a piece about how the J Keydge jacket was a triumph of existence in spite of itself.  That it seemed - from the outside at least - that it might be a miracle if the company survived into another season. In early 2012, with virtually no web presence … [Read more...] about J Keydge – Here to Stay? Could Be After All.

Bedford Incident Grenfell Jacket

May 24, 2014 by The Weejun 5 Comments

  The other day I was re watching the Bedford Incident with Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier. It's a fine movie in its own right but always fun to watch movies with some clothes spotting potential. Poitier plays a photo journalist in the Life Magazine mould who's airlifted onto Widmark's warship. … [Read more...] about Bedford Incident Grenfell Jacket

The Ivy Is Always Greener Online – Beware of Coveting Thine Own Stuff

May 22, 2014 by The Weejun Leave a Comment

Loafer Envy Out East I was out East having coffee with my pal Herb Lester last week and noticed he was wearing what I thought was a pair of vintage double-soled Weejuns - those with the heft and solidity of the loafers worn by William Holden in that much republished image of him in NY. But no, this … [Read more...] about The Ivy Is Always Greener Online – Beware of Coveting Thine Own Stuff

Gant Yale Eats Itself.

May 16, 2014 by The Weejun 1 Comment

Every season for the past few years the Gant Yale brand has produced the odd nice shirt in a good fabric and with the lamentable logo on the locker loop at least self coloured or obscure. Today I popped into the Regent St store to see in person what some of the fabrics are like in this season's … [Read more...] about Gant Yale Eats Itself.

The Catalina Varsity Jacket

May 14, 2014 by The Weejun 14 Comments

Catalina Varsity vs Derby of San Francisco (vs a Newcomer) In the past I've written about both the Catalina La Paz and the Derby of San Francisco bomber jackets. This time I'm focusing on the Catalina Varsity, a jacket closer in style and substance to the Derby version, along with a new copy from … [Read more...] about The Catalina Varsity Jacket

I Spy The Ivy Years

May 13, 2014 by The Weejun 2 Comments

I Spy 1965 - 1968 Among the raft of classic US TV series to feature the kind of clothes that we all love, I Spy is up there with the best. In the first series Kelly Robinson and Alexander Scott are wearing some staple boom years ivy with the usual Hollywood modifications. A double vent sack here, a … [Read more...] about I Spy The Ivy Years

Sidney Poitier Head to Toe in Lee Westerners

May 9, 2014 by The Weejun 5 Comments

An unusual and interesting movie from director Ralph Nelson and featuring Sidney wearing the all out Lee Westerners 101 sateen suit with rough out boots. A look that's hard to pull off. I've yet to wear my Japanese reissue 101J with the matching pants. You need a perfect day and a Leith Surfer T in … [Read more...] about Sidney Poitier Head to Toe in Lee Westerners
