Of course its good to get exposure for ACL but I don't think this article presents anything new. "More Kerouac than Updike." Are you joking? Yay for pseudo-literary-30 something hipster journalism.

Whenever there are this many brands, running the gamut of affordability, latching on to something many hold sacred, there is potential for a major backlash. But it sure is something that feels good when on. As long as the stuff is made with the long-term in mind like the originals, then I am all for it. It will never really look out of style I dont think. Personally I see no reason to ever shed the workwear aesthetic. It just feels right, even if I am not a logger, shipbuilder or steelworker. In fact, whenever I see some old Paul Smith shirts or Jil Sander in my closet, I just feel they are so dated and I want to vow to find the time immediately to rid my wardrobe of them. But my Carhartt, my Woolrich, my EG, my RRL, my old vtg mohawk jacket, etc, they always feel fresh and reassuring like an old trustworthy friend. Reminds me, gotta get my unwanteds to some consignment shops, STAT.
