Wants & Desires | Shopping Orvis

Sep 18th, 2009 | Categories: Uncategorized, Wants & Desires | by Michael Williams

Since we are riffing on the arrival of autumn weather, what store could be better to highlight than the perennial fall favorite, Orvis. The hook and bullet shop has a pretty awesome line-up for fall including some tasty Alden boots, loads of Barbour and all of the waspy staples that one would ever need. When I worked in Midtown (Manhattan), I would sneak away and waste all sorts of time at the Orvis outpost on Fifth Avenue. I love the idea of being in a massive city and looking at fly fishing accoutrements and other assorted man-gear. Some of my favorite items below.

A Beautiful Life

My nostalgia for Kodachrome 1950s and 1960s American has been well documented. Not too long ago I discovered this man’s flickr photostream and was completely taken aback, so here we go again. The photos document (in great detail) a family and their various trips throughout the American West hunting, fishing, riding bicycles. And all in quintessential 1950s/1960s clothing — plaid shirts, dark denim, white tee shirts and Chuck Taylor sneakers. Inspiration abounds below.
