  2. Rick says:

    Wow. So awesome. A couple of questions that are killing me. First off what is the details on that vest with the double back pockets near the top? Also the model on those ACG’s would nice. This is just overflowing inspiration. Top notch as always Mr. Forts.

    I love your blog. I’ve been following since the beginning. I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, which is strange since I’m a big commenter. When Secret Forts comes up in my reader I always take pause. There’s something that feels like home/childhood. Thanks.

    Beautiful stuff, although if I see another shot of those Jake Davis matchbooks I might light the house on fire. Seriously, though, this post is like a lesson in the “heritage” part of so-called “heritage” fashion – not just what it is, but why it’s valuable. Nice work.

    Inspiring and wonderful. I love these posts.

  6. Pete says:

    Loving this! The 9th photo down, the suede boots, who does them, amazing.

  7. cooper says:

    incredible post. not sure i want to continue blogging or tumbling after this one. great stuff, mr. forts.

  8. Bill Burge says:

    This is a really strange question, but do you keep your heritage red wings tied really lose? I ask because I always see people online that seem to have a ton of room between the sides compared to mine.

    Also, I second whoever said a few weeks ago that they’d be curious to see how you store all your clothes. I don’t feel like I have a quarter as many clothes as you do and still I have a hard time finding a place to put them all.

    There is an ideal here I’m interested in. It’s like Steve McQueen at Walden Pond.

  10. Ryan says:

    James, excellent post. I dig.

  11. allen says:

  12. Xtimx says:

    Nice to see a picture of my feet made it into a board with a ton of other shit that I think is cool. Great job.

    Real winter here near Toronto, Ontario started today – ACTUAL SNOW – so I’ll be taking advantage of getting to wearing the assortment of toques, sweaters, jackets and such over the next few days at least. No complaints from me about the snow – after all, I’m Canadian.

  17. Jennifer says:

    Thoroughly enjoy your site. Was wondering about the women’s grey jacket near the beginning of the list. What brand is it?

    Thanks for putting such a great list together!

  18. Greg says:

    Love the Nike ACG laces, which ones are those ?

    Cheers!

  19. tampatide says:

    Oh my goodness, the 2 jackets right in a row, the denim with orange lining and the Filson with Indian pattern lining. Who makes the first and is the second one available ?

    • mrforts says:

      The first you mention is a vintage Levis parka, no longer available. The second, Filson, and was available through Mr. Porter and a few other retailers. May have to search around for that one…

  20. matt says:

    nice edit. proud to be in the line up.
    must get you a LB of WM BROWN bacon

  21. mike g says:

    Who makes the tweed pants with the drawstring? They are so sick!

  22. keith says:

    Good Night! Excellent post as always.
    Who is behind the grey wool suit coat, and slacks in the two photos near(er) the top?

    • mrforts says:

      i believe the suit and trousers(model wearing Alden Indy boots) you’re talking about is J.Crew bird’s eye tweed Ludlow suit. I actually own this suit and its perfect for fall/winter.

  23. Mat Lundberg says:

    Bruddah,

    Have not confessed to being a fan since you told me about your work back in Nashville – mad fan.

    Thanks – unbelievably keen eye.
