Eugene de Salignac worked for the Department of Bridges from 1903 to 1934. During this time he recorded the building of some of New York's most famous bridges and captured some iconic images like this one of the painters climbing the bridge with no safety equipment. More pictures and info from The New Yorker.

We shot the present day pictures during our numerous city journeys later to find a similar "before and after" effect. East Side lifelines to the city captured a decade apart.

This piano man shows us younger folks what it means to have personal style, to not give a damn about current trends, to age with style and grace.

A step back in time, 1957. Some say a great barber is part bartender, part shrink and 100% your trusted friend. Seventy-five cent cuts with a quarter tip, sounds lovely.

Dali and his surreal dragonfly moustache. Our pomade works excellent on handlebars too.
Careful, you'll poke some ones eye out.
On the town emerging from the NYC Metro Subway, Sal and his pet anteaters ?!?!

You worked hard all week, so this weekend we hope you can take a long, slow drive (or subway ride) to nowhere in particular. Weekend's for exploring.

Gregory Peck was the quintessential American gentleman. He was known as Hollywood's Great Patriarch - both tough and caring.
As a man well-respected on- and off-screen, he spent his life tirelessly championing for causes he strongly believed in, even if that meant landing him on Richard Nixon's infamous enemies list.
He was a man that embodied to many Americans fortitude and intelligence - the man he was and the men he portrayed seemed to be of the same vein - like Atticus Finch.
Early in his life, this gentleman demonstrated guts, leaving pre-med at Berkeley to move to New York City to become a stage actor. When he arrived to New York, he redefined his identify - first by changing his name from Eldred to his middle name Gregory because he said no one knew him in the city anyways. You either sink or swim in New York. Well, Mr. Peck won a a scholarship to the prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse School of Dramatics, soon after made his Broadway debut in "The Morning Star," and of course the rest is history. He went on to win an Academy Award, but his most prized role was that of family man to his wife and kids.
He did it all with style.

If you're in the Seattle area, don't forget to check out The Field House, a good looking store with old world charm reminiscent of American general stores of rural towns past. At Field House you'll find mens' work wear, leather shoes, vintage shirts, Woolrich Woolen Mills, Vintage Levi's, Filson, Pendleton, and the Hill-side.
They also have a very edited (and stellar) apothecary selection that includes our fine USA-made, water-based pomade.
You'll also find excellent customer service at The Field House like all customers should receive when you walk into a store. No attitude here. Here's one of their salespersons looking sharp, hair styled with Grant's Golden Brand Pomade.
So take a stroll to the Field House and pick up some Golden pomade!

1977, the year punk music was birthed, hair doos were getting chopped & cropped and some iconic movies were on the horizon. Yoda, Tony Manero, Linus and Coach Buttermaker enter the history books. Personal favorite: Walter Matthau did a great job as the coach of the Bears.
It's Friday the beginning of the "Labor Day" weekend.
