You'll know what we know.
This sun-baked polaroid comes from Band of Outsiders, who pulled in pop artist Ed Ruscha for their latest lookbook. Over the course of nearly two dozen snaps, he models a pajama shirt, an Acrylic Painting for Dummies book and a surprisingly credible gangster suit. Check out the rest of the pics here.

Our latest winter shot comes via StreetFSN with two perfect February items and minus one pair of gloves. The man in question is Mordechai Rubinstein and the sweater can be found here, but the blackwatch jacket is still at large.

The latest installment in our “coolest people on earth” series, this shot finds Andy Warhol and David Hockney sharing a smoke with a few art critics circa 1963, and running a clinic on how to wear a trench coat. For anyone interested, the print’s headed to auction in a couple weeks.
This picture comes from Camo’s upcoming fall/winter lookbook, themed around the style of the casino. Note the housecoat blazer, the impeccable tie dimple and the dangerously short stack.

There’s been a lot of orange in the air lately, starting with this Boglioli sweater spotted by Jonathan Evans. As we looked more, burnt orange started popping up all over, as an unexpected alternative to the softer browns and beiges. You’ll be seeing a lot more of it over the next six months, so here’s a head start: a pictorial exhibit on orange at its best.

NASA leaked their full catalog of Gemini photos earlier today, and we thought we’d pass along this one of test pilot Thomas Stafford on Gemini IX, gazing out into the wild blue yonder. Legendary stuff.

In honor of the playoffs, we couldn’t resist passing along this 1969 Sports Illustrated snap, which finds Joe Namath relaxing poolside with reporters in the run-up to Super Bowl III. Note the shorts, the fan base and the shit-eating grin. Eat your heart out, Rodgers.
Our obsession of the day is vintage ski posters (which may have something to do with the frosty conditions outside). This one comes from the legendary Warren Miller in Jackson Hole circa 1965. We don’t have a name for the skier, but he certainly knew his way around a pair of sunglasses.

Winter is upon us, and for the next two months all your chances of surviving the outdoors turn on a single item: your winter coat. And since you’ll be brothers-in-arms until at least March, we thought we’d put together a few pictures showing off the best the winter coat has to offer—from classic duffels to mountain-ready waxed cotton coats. It’s going to be a good winter…

We’ve got some bad news. No matter how many pairs of work boots you get, you’ll never be as cool as this guy riding a motorcycle in his overalls circa 1919.

This SNS Herning sweater is the perfect example of anti-fashion—a timeless item that pops back up year after year as one of the menswear scene’s favorite items. So we were impressed that this lookbook managed to nail down the appeal so perfectly. That’s how you do it, right down to the wet-look hair. Take notes, gentlemen.

Today’s lesson in Antarctic style comes from the crew of Captain Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition, circa 1910. We’re particularly impressed by the turtlenecks, the high boots and the beagle.

Stockholm’s Rose & Born just posted this bow tie/plaid pairing that just about sums up holiday style. You’ve got loud patterns, offbeat styles and the kind of eye-popping fearlessness that plays a lot better around the winter solstice. Our only complaint is that they could do a better job of hiding that top button—but let’s not ruin the season by nitpicking.

Before Stanley Kubrick got into film, he made his bones shooting pictures for LOOK Magazine—and now, a batch of the photos are hitting the market, courtesy of the Museum of the City of New York, shot between 1945 and 1950. His main subject was the nooks and crannies of New York, from boxers to carnival barkers to street kids, all shot with his famous eye for surreal compositions. We’ve thrown together a few of our favorites after the jump.

Today’s monochrome gem captures Marlon Brando circa 1948, sitting barefoot on a rolltop desk. The original print goes up for auction in two weeks at Julien’s. If you’ve got a spare $600, it’s all yours.
Also on the block: Jeff Bridges’ Big Lebowski pajamas and Ed McMahon’s expired driver’s license. So, something for everyone.

You may have noticed a certain shift in neckwear over the past few weeks, with shantung and linen ties giving way to herringbone wools and rough flannels. It’s one of our favorite seasonal shifts, and the source of some of the best stuff in our closet. So we thought we’d take a moment to recognize the bucolic charm of the fall/winter tie… and highlight a few of our favorite specimens below.
On the heels of yesterday’s Zuccotti troubles (captured in gloriously cheeky video here), we thought we’d take a moment to recognize the unique style of the American protestor.
It’s not flashy, of course, but there’s plenty to admire here, from the black suits of the civil rights era to the Oakie uniform of work shirts and weathered khakis. They weren’t wearing them to make a statement—they had signs for that—but it was part of the message nonetheless.
As it turns out, charisma has a way of making its own style, and they were never short on charisma.
