Alligator Briefcase - Must Have

Tired of the "man purse" and the faded brown briefcases that everyone wears strung across their body. It seems like no one has a true briefcase these days and if so it's a dull black one much like the one used in "Death of a Salesman".

What happened to the ruthless business men, the titans of wall street, and the white collar hustlers? If this pumps in your blood you need to pick up an Alligator Briefcase.
It is an old school way of showing your toughness, refinement, and business savvy all at once. You'll find them quietly mentioned in old school hip hops songs and by blue blood throwbacks talking of victories past. Pick up a vintage one that has a soul or hunt down a new one and beat it up yourself.

Fashion Story: Lacoste obtained it's logo from the designer wining a tennis match for a business man's prized alligator briefcase.

BOMBER JACKET - AHEAD OF THE TREND


I just got back from the top fashion trade show in the country MAGIC in Las Vegas where the brand was featured among top brands in the PROJECT area of the show. The HUGH SIMMS brand took up stage next to the top brands in the world. I hoped the show would produce amazing new trends but it didn't really happen a couple did. This is one that caught my eye.


The brand TOP GUN a play off of the movie and producing some of the coolest new Bomber Jackets out now. topgunstore.com

Pick up a bomber jacket now even the great Mr. Ralph Lauren stated that his bomber jacket is the one item he couldn't live with out. A bit amazing statement since the guy practically invented the polo style shirt.

I bought my bomber jacket which I have been looking for about 4 years at a vintage shop. It's one of those items that chooses you.

Pick one up now and you're 3 SEASONS ahead of the inevitable trend. Ladies this applies to you too. "I have the need the need for speed!", couldn't resist.
