Consider this an addendum to my style/fashion piece yesterday. This sweater is 100% authentic.  Made in Donegal Ireland from Irish wool by John Molloy for Brewster J Burns (whose name is has its own tag sewn above the makers tag).  Picked up in a thrift store for $5.  And to be honest?  I got it because I’ve been seeing them on the internet. These are “in” right now.  I never gave much thought to Aran sweaters before the F/W pics started coming out.  So what is this? Style or Fashion? My jeans are 501’s.  Bought last year.  My first foray into Raw Denim which I got when I got into the blogosphere and realized there were other options than my classic “whatever’s cheapest” model.  Style or Fashion? My boots are Wolverine’s.  My dad’s from when he was still banging nails.  They’re 20+ years old and have been through 10 years of hard work and 10 of sitting in the basement.  But workwear is out right now.  So these aren’t cool.  But I think they’re cool, so what are they?  Style or Fashion? You tell me.

  3. m0ym0y said: i think most are afraid to admit being dressed by the internet, like they want to be on some original shit tip, for what it’s worth, this is a great dressed by the internet look and there should be no shame in such a proclamation because it’s real
