Hello boys! I chased down these well-dressed gents as they exited Starbucks to snap a group photo. I love the variety of styles here, from a trapper hat to a toggle cardi to chic sneaks, there was a lot of good going on. Unfortunately, these fellas were visiting from Boston. But don’t worry, I informed them that their city is not known for their style, though they might be the exception.
In honor of the snow, the 100th anniversary Bean Boot.

Do you know Joe? He’s the guy behind Wool, Wood & Whiskey, the cool blog and shop. I stopped in to visit him at Rogue’s the other day to say hello. And by “say hello”, I mean I went in to buy this vest from him. He’s also one of my favorite tweeters because he uses words like “brethren” and “sistren”.
This coming Saturday marks a very important national holiday: Shop Small. Once you’ve had your fill of Black Friday favorites, make sure you support local sellers (like Joe) and our downtown businesses to fill up those holiday stockings.
For me, these guys really live up the stereotype of the Maine man. Exhibit a: Buffalo plaid, whether it’s on a Maine Guide Shirt or used as a jacket lining. Exhibit b: Roughed up looking boots including the perennial Maine Hunting Shoe. Exhibit c: Interesting facial hair. I’m a fan of the ‘stache. Well done boys! Just look at the woman in the background - clutching her chest to be in the presence of such manly men!
I spotted this MECA student with Ashley a couple weeks ago, who graciously stopped for a photo while schlepping a box back into school. Not only did I love his style (hello pattern mixing and peach cords!) but he told us that he was a jewelry designer. So look out for him on First Friday where he’ll most likely be selling his goods.
And I’ll see you on the streets tonight…!
