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

Here We Go Again,Weejun…

May 9, 2014 by The Weejun 15 Comments

As anyone who's ever attempted to maintain a blog will testify, it's tough. Time is the biggest enemy.

White Levi’s by The Majorettes – 1963

January 24, 2013 by The Weejun 2 Comments

January 15, 2013 by The Weejun 4 Comments

Often when we find some vintage clothing, especially shirts like Gant or Sero, they will have had the store name tags made up and sewn in alongside the brand. This kind of co-branding for local loyalty was common in the US and a kind of precursor to the ubiquitous Brand X Hip Store that we see … [Read more...] about The Department Store Museum: 1960s Ivy ‘Varsity’ Shops

Steve McQueen – Alternative Frames From the LIFE Archive

January 14, 2013 by The Weejun

I know blogs with photos of McQueen are two a penny these days but, whilst searching for something else, I accidentally came across around fifty or so images from Life that I hadn't seen before - basically the alternate frames from images that have been published everywhere.

The Brooks Brothers Time Machine: 1980 Deadstock

January 8, 2013 by The Weejun 8 Comments

Vintage Brooks Brothers Haul It's generally agreed that the end of the line for Brooks Brothers began when Marks & Spencer took over the company in 1988. (Brooks was charged with being an arrogant and remote institution but that is matched only by M&S whose arrogance and business practices … [Read more...] about The Brooks Brothers Time Machine: 1980 Deadstock
