A note of housekeeping. The last few weeks have had me all over the place — I’ve been to England, Seattle, Portland, New York and will be in Japan for the next week or so. Along the way I have gathered up a bunch of good stuff to share with you from the journey, so expect updates soon. In the mean time here are some pictures from yesterday. Obviously, no trip to Tokyo is complete without sushi shaped donuts. Anything else (new) that I should see? Shout me out in the comments.

Accordingly, the site will be on light duty and posting may be sporadic. Your patience is appreciated. Keep an eye on the ACL Twitter feed and the Instagram updates (same user name, @acontinuouslean) if you want to follow the action live. There should be ample drunkenness.

These Paul Smith windows are some of the best I have seen in a long time.

The second most popular question people ask me via email is about shopping in NYC. (The most popular email is about needed to buy a suit and not knowing where to get started). The idea for a NYC shopping map came after getting many of these frequent queries, and so in the heady days of 2008, the ACL shopping guide to NYC took a bow.

It’s that time of year again, Pop Up Flea time. Come December 2nd, 3rd and 4th we will be holding the fourth edition of our menswear market of desirable new and vintage goods — and all are welcome. We’re excited to release the brand line-up soon, but until them know that we are going to have a lot of the great folks from previous PUFs, and a bunch of great new labels. This could be dangerous — hide your kids, hide your wallet, hide your wife.

The good people from (capsule) + Randy Goldberg and I kicked off our little impromptu shop Old & New yesterday on New York’s far West Side this weekend. While it was stifling hot, everyone managed to have a good time amongst some great vintage and a few up-and-coming brands. I spent most of the time running around and chatting with folks, I did manage to sneak a couple of shots of the place to give you an idea of what the place is all about. The shop continues on all day today (Monday 7/18) & tomorrow right around the corner from (capsule) and all are welcome.

Starting this Sunday we’ve commandeered a raw space on the far West Side and filled it with vintage dealers, a few up-and-coming labels and other respected local makers like Terrapin Stationers. Old & New runs for three days, is open to the public and should prove to be good fun. All of the details below.

Dehen 1920, Quit.Mad.Stop., Tipton & Co., Orange Crush Exports, Strongarm C&S, Co., Tart, B4 It Was Cool, McSweeney’s Books, Terrapin Stationers.

And an installation of commodities and props from byKenyan.

Open to the public at large.
