Wardrobe X
Since moving to New York a couple of months ago, imagine my disappointment of no longer enjoying the luxury of an in-home photography studio. Photographing layouts of complete outfits requires the kind of real estate typically reserved for a Manhattan bedroom—sans furniture. However, the cramped quarters compel you, and every other New Yorker, to get creative. While these vignettes are not designed to showcase an entire outfit for any given day, they capture the spirit of it through carefully considered details and accessories.

+1 on the Hamilton Khaki suggestion. I got one and love mine.

Well said, PSP. My thoughts exactly. You should also check out Seiko dive watches. They are very affordable, keep decent time, and are indestructible.

Also, hats off to Ralph Lauren and Rugby. They are one of few retailers that ship to US Servicemen and Women in a combat zone. They sent new a wallet in Iraq, in about a week. Really brightened my day.

Superb watch. Vintage is truly green. No packaging and lasts a lifetime.

In love with the layout. Perfect color coordination with the background as well.

Beautiful shots, Fred. It looks like you’re getting along fine in NYC. What did you use to make the collage? I like the grid layout.

I liked your Seamaster so much, I picked one up. Understated, amazing, and relatively inexpensive. Prep with Sean Connery as Bond thrown in. The LL Bean hamilton is also one my favorites since college.
