Think I saw the model from Bows's avatar outside my office today. Either that or he was a convincing knockoff (he was across the street walking away from me and my eyes ain't what they used to be). Either way, he looked cool. But the coolest guy I saw today was this small, older Asian gentleman on the subway. Had a fu-manchu mustache and this crazy knit blazer. Debated trying to stealthily snap a pic, but I think he could have melted me with his eyes.


Isn't Bows himself a convincing knockoff?

I prefer to think of Bows as "inspired by" that guy. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Bows, though, if that's what you're getting at (Bows, you weren't wandering down 8th Ave in Chelsea today, were you?). This dude's hair was shaved to the skin on the sides and he seemed much lankier.

Yeah, you're allowed to say that officially, now that Southgate House, the Mockbee, and the Mad Hatter are all closed.

Those are the ones that are just plain Gitman Brothers instead of Gitman Vintage, right?


Yup. These have darts in the back, though, the "tailored" fit. I have no idea how they compare. I figured for $20, it was worth a shot and I can return them if I didn't like the fit/colors/whatever. :)
