The past few days have been spent running around (though actually I have been biking) looking at all of the spring 2011 clothes that have rotated over to New York. These times of the year are always fun and inspirational. It is also great to be able to see friends that have come to town from all over the world. I tried to stay focused (which was especially tough yesterday after Monday’s late night activities) and document the good stuff I found and saw. Hope you enjoy.
I’m a white dude … and I too love military watches. In fact I looked down on my wrist and I had the same thing!!!
Hey,
I didn’t see any branding on those military watches, anyone have some suggestions for an inexpensive military watch like those?
Josh
Nice post and pics.
I’m a white chick and I love my military watch, too.
Mine’s from Smart Turnout, strap and all:

Have to agree with Brian, did the exact same thing.
I have the Timex J.Crew watch …. think it was about $150 ….. you can normally get the bands for $15-$20.
what happened with the last pic? supreme not pay for a name drop?
I have the Timex Camper watch. You can find them on amazon for about 20 bucks. They are releasing a new larger faced one in the fall. It is a nice cheap, simple, everyday watch.
I am deeply infatuated with that enormous clock.
I’ve tried in the past to wear my father’s old Benrus, but it’s just too cumbersome. (Also fragile; the backplate is plastic.)
That’s not a laundry tote, it’s a US Air Force crew bag. Respect the original.
I’m a black dude and I too like military watches. Victorinox Swiss Army. It’s been over 10 years and it still looks/work great.
Those watches look like 1980s military issued US Hamilton watches, as I also own a very similar classic military looking watch to these.
DAMN. I need that 10 cent beer night t-shirt.
Hey evencleveland,
The 10 cent beer night can be found at http://www.homage.com/store/sports/10-beer-night
They have tons of other Cleveland t-shirts.

2 of my favorite things, Homage and L.L. Bean! Having just moved from C-Bus to work for Bean, I’m thrilled to see you continuing to represent both. Well done!
Nice to see Garbstore get a mention. I have been following this brand for a few years now, the collections get stronger each season.
How can so much nice gear yield such scruffy looking dressers?
You can dress like a slob for much less at Value Village and they at least run the stuff through the ironing process. And don’t even get me started on the evaporation of grooming.
im with abi, mine is vic. but im a white dude. i think i got mine in 01
Love Garbstore, great Flightshirts, jackest and jeans especially if you hang on for the sale/clearance.
Time to find myself a military watch!
That’s a lot of plaid.
I’d buy that rucksack tomorrow if I could.
Who are those dudes in the last photo?
10 cent Beer Night !?! I was there- it was also Roxboro Jr. HS Humanistic Curriculum night at Municipal Stadium. Hippy High, makin’ the scene! I think some of the first cranks to run out onto the field around the 3rd inning was some of Roxboro’s finest. I think the world needs more 10 cent beer nights (or just 10 cent beer). Isn’t it pitiful that one of my cooler props is that I was in the crowd at one of professional baseball’s most ignoble moments?
The plaid Riviera Club shirt with the polka dot interior is the winner. Hope I remember that shirt come January shopping.
I’m digging Mr. Stalley’s style, as well. I’m a proud owner of the 10 Cent Beer Night shirt, myself.
What kind of bike are you using/abusing these days, Mr. Williams?
I know this is mostly Men’s clothing, but these pictures are a wonderful window into places I wish I had access to. I’m assuming these events are private, or at least by invitation only or you have to be on a list, but in any case, you are lucky :) Definitely liked the outdoorsy feel, especially what you’ve included from Black Pine Workshop.
I have this Citizen and love it…

You gotta love the Homage stuff. I think he was wearing a Columbus Clippers Hat. I miss CBus so bad.
Yo Yo!!! Thats Ricky and Brendan in that last pic of the World Famous Supreme Team!!!
I have a Smith & Wesson Military Watch. Can’t go wrong at $29.95 plus it says Smith & Wesson so that makes you pretty bad ass.

Where did she get that LL Bean tote from? It’s amazing- but I can’t seem to find a model like it (with the leather handles and outside pocket) on the Bean website.
@John H – Could be wrong, but said person with tote bag is probably one of those people that consistently drives the price of similar items over 100 bucks on ebay.
I like those Hamiton Shirt Co shirts, but not for $165. The last time I payed that much for a shirt was a Thom Browne shirt. I ran in and got it without inspecting it. I was furious that I had paid so much for a white shirt that was basically see-through.
All the shirting looks good but the Riviera Club check/polka dot one is by far and away the best of the lot.
Hi,
I hope you don’t mind me posting I just wanted to say thanks so for the mention – it is very much appreciated as we are a small company.
We do a selection of military watches over at Smart Turnout – with various different straps starting at $29 and we often run offers via our facebook pages.
If anyone ever wants to review stock for their blog etc – just let me know and I will sort out samples.
Thanks once again

supreme…get outta here..”time to grow up and be a fuckin’ man” (the same thing that lee quinones’ brother in wild style told him)…put down those skateboards and t-shirts and “kicks” already
I still don’t feel like anyone has nailed where those military watches came from. Anyone know for sure? Anyone at ACL that can shed light on this mystery?
In the photo: at 3 o’clock is a MWC watch worn by Jordan from Winn Perry, at 6 o’clock is an Army issue Hamilton Khaki worn by me and at 9 o’clock is another army issue Hamilton Khaki worn by Emil from The Hill-Side.
Left and center watches are US Government Issue Hamilton MIL-W-46374B field watches from the ’70s or ’80s. See http://home.earthlink.net/~brendo81/46374.html for further info. I’m not sure about the watch on the right; it might be a Benrus MIL-W-3818B or GG-W-113 with incorrect crown, or more likely a Vietnamese copy of a US watch.
Man, that Riviera Club shirt with the polka dot interior IS a winner… Anybody know of any online retailers that would sell that to poor smucks like us in Europe?
White dudes (and black and Latino) loving those military watches means we all in some part have a weird longing to have served something bigger like our country in WWII. But on a lighter note, what would it take for you New Yorkers to bundle up some that awesome stuff and drive out to Chicago, Cleveland, Cincy, Indy, and sell it here?
Ooops…sorry, Garbstore in London. Okay, fly over!
Thanks for the look. Great Khaki watch straps at central watch stand
at Grand Central. About 10 bucks. 3 sizes. I have a large wrist and jpress never fit
right. They have them in xl.
Thanks Michael for the info on the watches, The Hamilton is a beauty. I found the Smith & Watson one that is definitely cheaper then the Hamilton, but I’m still on the lookout for one without branding.
Josh
Brimfield was filled with Nato (and similar) straps and the prices could not be beat anywhere.
Sorry, meant to tell you my watch setup.
Today: Seiko sgg531 and blue “tropical” strap
Man, love the clothes for Spring 11.
Just an fyi to anyone interested, Billy Reid shirts fit wack.
Michael, where did you buy your hamilton military watch? ebay?
