On My Retro Ish !!! : Starter Jackets

"Yo! Where you get that jacket from?"

Starter jackets represented cool. It didnt matter what team you had but how you rocked that bad boy. With a fresh snapback cap to match you were official. In the winter with the lack of insulation you had to bundle up. But at least you looked fly! Right? At the height of their popularity Starter jackets were an ultimate jack move. NCAA teams like Georgetown Hoyas, UNLV Running Rebels, and Miami Hurricanes held high status. The cool cats had multiple teams while the regular dudes rocked that one Starter literally to death. If you never owned one you wouldnt understand. Real heads recognize.

On My Retro Ish!!! : Polo

This is my shit!!! Polo will forever be a personal favourite. Nothing beat rocking that exclusive piece and watching all your friends become jealous. In the day Polo was far from cheap. In Toronto you were limited to either buying from The Bay or the now defunct Eatons for that superior Lo. The quality was one thing but the exclusivity is really what did it for me. At a time where you had to make trips across the border to cop that Polo fix. I would be digging the racks at Marshalls looking for that flyness. I was dry cleaning my shit to keep it extra crispy. Still timeless and fresh as ever Polo still got it.
