The Menswear in The Untouchables (1987)

My Return to Sneakers and Their Place in Classic Menswear
As a menswear guy who loves tailoring and got his start wearing period accurate vintage, I had no place for sneakers in my wardrobe. Now they’re a welcome alternative to loafers for me, being worn with jeans and shorts to even full trousers.

I have quite a few creative outlets like painting and composing, but there’s one that has been completely intoxicating- film photography. It’s something so inherently cool and quirky, yet easy-going with the fun result of being able to have physical copies of the images.
