GET HANDSOME

  

One of the best pop-up's that I've been to is the Pop Up Flea in NYC that happens once a year, focusing on new and vintage menswear. So many inspiring vendors, products, leather goods, fabrics, accessories, raw denim, mustaches, cuffed pants, happy socks, ahhhh! For some serious man stalking and shopping be there December 2-4 at 159 Bleecker.

Here's an excerpt: "Visiting the shop and seeing the selection and careful merchandising, it’s no wonder that stuff is flying out the door. It’s a funny thing too, because the “heritage” obit is in the paper everyday. Heritage is a sneaky little bastard like that, all refusing to die and everything. Refusing to allow the growing segment of young creatives who view themselves as “real” blue collar dudes to stop being so pissed off because a bunch of “hipsters” co-opted their shit."
