Jkissi and Trav always hold it down over at StreetEtiquette. The style is impeccable but they are now taking it to the next level conceptually. I spend a good deal of time with C+ spinning wheels on style and its social implications, how dressing like a gentleman links with acting like one, and how to translate style to the next generation without leaving a bourgeois taste in your mouth. Sewn From the Soul is wrapped in the answer. The key to the translation of the style message lies in history, and knowing your own. Though moving higher and higher in the ranks of fashion moves you towards a more sartorial, but also, white affluent and European place, knowing that so many powerful people that look just like you have used these same stylistic choices, and others, to convey their message before you puts you back in the driver seat. This is the key to fighting the choking paradigm, using their things with our swag to level the playing field. Hats off to Street Etiquette and everyone involved, hopefully I will be able to pick their brains one day, one day soon.
