vintage bling.

this ones mostly for the guys cause the girls seem to have a pretty good handle on how to wear some flash.

It can be a little more difficult for guys , too little and it doesn't make the desired impact. too much or too shiny , you might look like Pauly d.

a common complaint about vintage jackets is that the sleeves are too short. I own about a dozen leather jackets and almost all of them are too short in the arm. instead of waiting forever for the perfect sleeve length , why not embrace the short arm length (within reason) and wear some bracelets ? to me, some wrist dressing says ' yeah I know my sleeves are short, that's why I'm wearing this cool jewelry' .

I've included a couple pics of my wrists so you can see what I mean. No need to follow my style though, a cool watch or simple combination of a couple bracelets can still get the job done. try mixing silver and tarnished gold or brass with leather for a cool twist on tradition.


If you're not a leather jacket guy the same rules can apply to a suit or blazer. Jacket too short ? How about french cuffs and cufflinks . Pants too short ? Wear some socks that are gonna get noticed. Or even better go sockless in the spring and summer.


Another great way to add some style is a tie pin / clip / bar . we've got some cool ones in stock now.
