His paintings weren’t the only idyllic thing he created. Look at the nuance of his style.

Of course being a fan of almost all things vintage American, I’m eating these up. These remind me of my childhood and watching 4th of July parades in our neighborhood.

More High/Low and implementing who you are as a man into your style. Also, very masculine.
At Its Peak
25 May, 2012
At least I hope so. I’m a slim guy and I’ve been happy to see the bagginess of the 90’s and early 00’s be replaced with slim and fitted clothing. But, just like any other trend, skinniness has gone too far. Hopefully it’s at its peak and men won’t be tempted to buy trendily skinny things like ties and blazers. Here’s femtron Robert Pattinson in an example of everything that’s too small.
Those lapels can’t be more than an inch thick. At least the proportions of the shirt collar, lapels, tie, and his balls all match up; but you don’t want to go that small. It’s a trend and will look bad ten years from now. If you’re skinny, wear skinnier proportions than large men, but don’t fall into the trendy trap.
P.S. Yes those are peak lapels and the pun was intentional. You’re welcome.
Criminal Class
24 May, 2012
These are mug shots from Australia from the 1920’s.
Here are the two main things I see.
1. There is no false bravado that exists amongst the criminal class today. These men don’t need to peacock their masculinity, they’re comfortable in it.
2. There is more class amongst this group of criminals than the vast majority of Westerners. I guarantee you that, even though they didn’t live by society’s rules, these men had their own code of honor and adhered to it.
