While they’re…
The Seattle Man’s Fashion Moment
Seattle men are dropping fleece in favor of creative license ranging from retro-funky to neo-dandy
I spotted a man on Pine Street the other day wearing an ascot. Just your average Seattle man in weatherproof shoes, coffee in hand, on his way to work. Wearing an ascot. He could have been naked from the waist down carrying an assault rifle, and had a cop interrogated me, I would’ve confessed, “I…
