Elemental Trends

The stainless steel trend has officially peaked. Now our buttons have to be oversized and stainless just like new refrigerators? I think this button signals the beginning of the end for the stainless steel trend. That or a very, very dapper metal worker who doesn't sew so well.

Beg Your Pardon

I can just about smell the pipe tobacco. And see the ascot that is soaked with the scent. Too bad the ascot is polyester. Dead giveaway. Skilled con men know that a detail such as silk or poly is crucial to gaining confidence. Same goes with the button. This is a cheap fake that once called home a hokey synthetic blue blazer lousy with loud buttons of a vaguely Lords 'n' Ladies theme. The owner of the blazer is at this moment probably trying to talk his way out of the vig. He won't be able to.

Found on the Brooklyn Bridge.
