It’s been cold enough here in California for the last week to warrant a jacket, being an owner of a car with no top makes a jacket a necessity. We are a little more laid back here in California so the addition of a tie is considered by many as dressing up, but this is still a casual look that works well for the office or just around town when a tee shirt is not appropriate. Omitted from this photo are my driving gloves, since they are down in the car.

Hat: M&P Speed Shop
Jacket: Vintage Deadstock Varsity Jacket
Shirt: Banana Republic
Tie: Izod
Belt: Vintage
Watch: Breitling for Bentley
Shoes: Converse All Stars Custom Printed by M&P Speed Shop in signature Camo
Socks: Akomplice
