Fashion Week isn’t all glitz…although there’s plenty of it to go around. The outerwear marque Mackage has teamed with the New York thrift store Housing Works to organize a coat drive coinciding with the annual fashionfest.
It’s fitting enough, since the festivities should inspire a lot of people to ditch their older gear, but Mackage is hoping it inspires them to pick some up too. They’re also auctioning off three coats (two female, one male) to raise funds for the drive. The men’s coat can be found here, and while the bidding’s still just getting started, we’d guess it should buy more than a few wraps for the city’s less fortunate residents. As a bonus, it’s signed by actor and recent off-broadway star Peter Sarsgaard…
…which we guess makes it more valuable?

The Lebow Clothing Factory has been abandoned for upwards of 20 years, but apparently nobody thought to remove the stock. It’s a shame. From what we can tell, they’re not bad…but we’re guessing they’ve seen better days.
While it’s usually best not to think of exactly where that vintage trench has been, it may have looked something like this.
Take a look around»
