Details: Bobby Pin Jewelry

In a new series, men's accessories such as bracelets and bags will show how small details can accentuate an outfit.  

     On a recent trip to New York I discovered an amazing duo of ladies (Bobby Pin Jewelry) creating limited and custom designed jewelry for both men and women.  Bracelets and cufflinks are offered to men as well as custom ordered items.  The men's line is urban and military inspired with heavy emphasis on leather and vintage bullets.  The bracelets below use end caps and casings from real vintage .22 and .30 caliber bullets.  Some men have reservations about wearing jewelry other than a watch but Bobby Pin Jewelry designs understated and rugged items accessible to all men.

"Why buy jewelry that is made in bulk when you can buy a custom piece or design something yourself," Bobby Pin Jewelry.

The New Vintage featuring Modern Renaissance Man, Woolrich, & Too Boot New York

     One of my favorite styles come from vintage 1920's: inspired by heavy fabrics, perfectly fitted suits, and amazing accessories.  Boardwalk empire, The Great Gatsby, and Lawless have really brought this era of dress to the forefront.  

     Fall is a great season for 1920's style but it's the details that distinguishes vintage from a simple blazer and pants look.  A collar pin and up-cycled handkerchief and lapel pin (courtesy of Modern Renaissance Man) made it appear as though this outfit was stolen directly off the back of a 1920's bootlegger.
