Any of you who follow the blog surely know of my love of the Winn Perry shop in Portland. From the first time I stepped foot in there, it just felt right. In fact, I wrote a post on it at the time.
Since then, I’ve dropped in there as often as I could. Got myself [...]
Four + One Blog
Where the search for a well-rounded existence can stretch its legs.
If you’re new to the blog, here are a few things to get you started. The game behind the name tells the tale of where the name 4+1 originated. You can listen to my appearance on The Quasi-Glamourous Life podcast to hear me talk about work. This blog is constantly in flux. Some of the early posts will give you an idea of what I'm into, my latest posts have tended to showcase my work. Shout at me if you want more of some and less of the other. Enjoy.
Winn Perry: The Movie
Teaser: The New Reliability
Over the weekend we shot a tv spot on my new Canon 7D camera. The footage turned out great. I’m in the editing process right now, we’re recording voice overs this Friday. It should be all polished up in about two weeks.
I couldn’t wait to get a few of my favorite shots out there to [...]
The Field House
About a month ago, the pictures started making the rounds on all the style blogs. Word was out that Blackbird—a great little shop in Seattle—was opening up another store just around the corner. This is the Field House.
We were heading to Seattle for Thanksgiving, so I brought along my new Canon 7D in the hopes [...]
Got ‘Em
Kicking Mule Workshop 2010s. Those are my jeans. Many have accused me of overanalyzing it and caring too much. The word obsession was tossed around. I finally made a purchase.
Here they are. Let the journey begin.
WANT: Pendleton Bag
I’ve been looking for a good doctor-style bag lately. There are some great options out there. I just got word that these bags are over at Lizard Lounge in PDX. I’m loving what Pendleton is doing with this. Does it remind anyone else of the movie What’s Up, Doc?
I hope Pendleton Woolen Mills is going [...]
KZO @ Local35
Stopped by Local35 yesterday to check out the new goods. Justin was raving about the new KZO stuff he just got in.
There was a very cool blue plaid shirt that didn’t fit me exactly right, and a wool jacket that was really cool. My favorite had to be this shirt:
Super comfortable cotton. The actual color [...]
Winn Perry Shop
Last week I finally got a chance to drop by the Winn Perry shop in Portland. Jordan was kind enough to let me poke around, take some photos and pepper him with questions. In a response to my follow up e-mail he nailed the feel of his shop with this statement:
“The main thing I would [...]
Popped Collar: Never Say Never
We all know you shouldn’t pop your collar. It was fashionable with a certain group of pastel Abercrombie-wearing people not too long ago. It has since become a hard and fast rule to not pop your collar, for fear of looking anything like this guy:
In fact, if The Most Interesting Man in the World had [...]
Jeans: The finalists
It’s been a long hard search, and I’ve narrowed the choices down to three. I’ve got a post coming Monday or Tuesday that elaborates the conundrum I’ve found myself in on the actual purchase. Reminder on the criteria: 1. Quality, quality, quality 2. Durable, durable, durable 3. Preferably raw selvedge. I’m looking for the best [...]
100 days
In honor of his first 100 days in office. Here’s to the hope that we can all do better for the next hundred, and the hundred after that.
Man, is he cool.
