Earlier this month, T&P attended the opening party for the Convert Shoe Store on Fourth Street in Berkeley. It was there where we met the owner, Randy Brewer. Decked out in American made apparel, it is clear that he puts more effort into his fashion choices than simply just what looks good. The shirt and [...]

Jonathan Schaefer

The Alameda Antique Vintage Fair (a.k.a The Alameda Flea) is where we spotted this handsomely dressed Biochemist, Jonathan Schaefer. Sorting through the stalls at the Fair scored him a neat find, that black leather vintage mail carrier bag that he is converting into an Ipad case. What a great way to revive something considered obsolete [...]

Manny Fabregas

Manny was one of the stylish men that I spotted at the  Alameda Point Antiques Faire. If you look closely, you might notice a theme in Manny’s wardrobe. I picked up on it slightly when I noticed his Levi’s and then when I looked up the maker of his knapsack, Duluth Pack, it became even [...]

In this feature, I introduce you to the talented Jara Ra. I met him at the Alameda Point Vintage Fashion Faire and turns out he already was a fan of Trig & Polished. Made me so happy! Jara was performing with his band, Blue Bone Express and I loved that he dressed up to perform. [...]

Shopping Alert: Jeremy’s Department Store in Berkeley!

You know how I’m all about promoting Mens Fashion, so when I see a great place to find gorgeous Menswear I have the urge to shout from the rooftops. So… I finally checked out the Menswear Department at Jeremy’s on College Ave in Berkeley and was in Menswear Heaven. Not only do I love Menswear [...]

It’s Tweed Time!

Before you ask…yes, this post has some relation to the Alameda Post Antiques Faire. It being officially Fall (as of September 23rd) I was beginning to think of Fall Fashion. So when I was at the last Antiques Faire, this one stand caught my eye. First I spotted the elbow-patched jackets and as that sight [...]

Peder & Finn Thoreen (Father & Son Trigs)

I found this T&P duo at the September 2011  Alameda Point Antiques Faire. To be honest, Peder (the Father) and Finn (Mini Trig) were 2/3 of one very stylish family. The Mother, Sierra stood by in ballet pink skinny jeans, black motorcycle jacket, a topknot and classic red lipstick. She is responsible for the styling [...]

Kyle

Kyle was another well-dressed man that I spotted at the  Alameda Point Antiques Faire. He masters the casual, weekend look of a henley and denim by accessorizing it with a printed scarf, a newsboy hat and layered cardigans. Not to mention the extra touches he adds with the fabric wrist wrap and the rings. His [...]
