A PLEA FOR THE PLEATED PANT

In our office we have this picture of James Dean in his pleated pants. The past years pants and jeans only got slimmer and slimmer made comfortable with a lot of stretch. But slowly the pleated pants are coming back and pushing the slim fit pant out of style. 

Let's plea for pleats

THE ICONIC WHITES

Spring is coming and that means that you get yourself some fresh new white sneakers. They are like a blank page to start your season. And like the guys on top you can't get wrong with a classic white canvas. Either you buy yourself some Seavees, a Jack Purcell like James Dean & Steve Mcqueen or some Sperry Topsiders like JFK not to forget the new a fresh pair of Chucks.

BORN IN THE USA?

The Canadian worldchampion badminton player Jack Purcell designed a canvas and rubber badminton sneaker for the B.F. Goodrich Company in 1935. He designed the shoe to provide more protection and suport on badminton courts. In 1970s, Converse purchased the trademark rights to Jack Purcell sneakers. Converse "Jack Purcells" are still very popular more for their "vintage fashion" appeal than for playing badminton. Check out how great they look at Icons like James Dean and Bruce Springsteen. For sure they throwed the shoebox away.
