Of course we're all about shopping from the past, but the magic happens when an opportunity comes around to shop successfully from the present. Somewhere in between
Danny, Champion of the World,
Lady Chatterley's Lover and
The Rules of the Game, I became entranced with the conflict of the gamekeeper and the poacher.
Ever since it came online, I've been totally stuck on Frank Leder's POACHERS series. He's really killing it with some of the details in this collection. Check out
POACHERS at his splash page, but make sure to
get into the archives, too.
Hinterland: Fleisch and
Hinterland: Vagabund are some of my favorites, but honestly, it's all good.
There's so much hunting clothing in the city that it's refreshing to take inspiration from the poachers, who wear their city clothing in the country. When the apocalypse comes, we'll no doubt have forgotten our Tin Cloth and Bean Boots at home. So join the Archival Clothing team on the south side of Eugene's Spencer's Butte: we'll be the people bagging deer while clad in tattered tweeds and leaky brogues.
