Philadelphia Street Style: Eric, outside Armour, 4th St

Eric Hatcher is Creative Director of Armour, Philadelphia, a menswear boutique on S. 4th St. I attended their Cyber Saturday event last week. Eric described his style to me as "quirky at times, colorful at best, and anything but conservative," then added, "mildly understated, never over-rated.” His cargo pants are vintage Ralph Lauren, the shoes he described as "just some Jack Purcell kick-abouts... sneakers that I have had for many many years.”

The denim blazer he's wearing is by Prospective Flow out of Los Angeles. He is wearing a pocket square as a scarf. It's from Philly's own Ikiré Jones. The wooden lapel pin is by Two Guys Bowties. Each of those items are available at his store, Armour, as is his belt. The shirt he's had for years. It's probably the Gap or Banana Republic, he said.

The tiger-lilly bracelet is Eric's "own find." The double-twisted bracelet is Ralph Lauren. The double-sided, reversible ring is from Philly designer Danny Fox, and the belt, which features an American Buffalo Nickel buckle, is by Leather Island Belts by Bill Lanvin. The belt and ring are also available at Armour.

Eric, and Armour, have a menswear blog. It's called Fabric of a Man.

Philadelphia Street Style: Nate, Walnut St

Nate was, quite fairly, a bit suspicious of my reasons for taking his picture. "Will it be on your website?" he asked. "Will it be on your Facebook page?" I showed him my card, explained the site and the project, and he decided he was cool with it, especially after he saw the pictures. Almost everyone is. But it shocked me into the realization that it has been a long time since anyone I've taken a picture of for this site has given their online exposure a second thought. What a strange world we live in where taking pictures of strangers on the streets and posting them online is just an ordinary thing! That used to be a privacy violation. Now it's the norm. This is not, I'm guessing, the status quo Scott Schuman faced when he was first starting out, or Liisa Jokinen of Hel Looks, or any number of the other bloggers of the early years (say 2005, 2006). Back then, bloggers no doubt had some explaining to do.
