It's amazing what sparse facial hair, clear lenses, and a trench coat can do for you. My whole shit the last two months while I was intensely working was to see how ugly I could look. Not regular ugly. But dope ugly. Does that make any sense?
The first look is my "pervie, I've been on the road, shooting and editing in the dark for weeks, don't let your small children around me style" via A Continuous Lean. The second is my "sleek, I think I'm Steve McQueen, let's race, I never want to see a computer again style" via Secret Forts. Both feature a lot of the same gear like a blue chambray, A.P.C. new standards, and Keds canvas shoes but the results couldn't be further apart.
Thanks to Michael and James for hitting up the kid on the style tip. And feel free to punch as much as you like... "I can dodge and jab..."
It's like two different people.
The first look is dope. I wouldn't bash it. It still goes harder than what 97% of doods out there be rockin nowadays.

I tie my belt in the back on all my trenches except that one. The material is so light and thin it doesn't work so I throw the belt in the pockets. Both techniques are cool.

Looks great as usual Jake. What particular Belstaff jacket is that? A vintage Trialmaster or something newer?

Belting the Trialmaster in the back is a great idea! I'm going to steal that one. Thanks... My version was a gift about ten years ago and retarded expensive because it's a replica of the one Che Guevara rocked. You can't see it but it has amazing reinforced quilted shoulders.

I've been getting a ton of response about those Paolo Belle aviators. They are available at Silver Lining Opticians in brown (pictured above), burgundy, and grey with sun or clear lenses...
