Boo Ya Britain:The Pop Up Flea Hits London

By

Any man who has been fortunate enough to be in New York for one of the Pop up Fleas created by ACL founder Michael Williams and his bud Randy Goldberg has had a taste of what heaven is probably like. Started in 2009 there are heritage brands, vintage goods, new designers crafting quality products, booze, music and man cave wilding all in one.

Since ‘Murica is influencing style around the world these days (Tin cloth in Tokyo! L.L. Bean boots in Britain!), the Pop Up boys decided to roll out their goods in London this Friday. It’s very hard to get the English in a stew about anything, but with Shinola, Levis, Tanner Goods and Todd Snyder heading their way, you can almost hear the collective twitching of mustaches in eager anticipation.

A denim legacy built to serve: DEVIL-DOG Dungarees celebrates military heritage
DEVIL-DOG looks back to two and a half centuries of excellence
Man leaning on tree in hat

Twenty-five years ago, I joined the United States Army to serve. Well, part of it was to serve. There was also honoring my grandfather and doing all I could to make him proud. And the other part of it was not having a real path to college and just needing something to do. Two and a half decades later, the United States Army, United States Navy, and United States Marines celebrate their 250th birthdays. The three branches of the services have been involved in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War, as well as more recent conflicts like the Gulf War, Afghanistan War, and Iraq War. Without them, the world would look very different. With that in mind, it is hard to think of men's style, but there are some definite connections.

Nearly three-quarters of the garments in your closet can be traced back to their origins in the military, and those who can't end up with connections to it. DEVIL-DOG Dungarees is one of those brands that recognizes the excellence of the perfect pair of jeans and also pays homage to the excellence of the United States military that fought for the freedom for us to do what we love. I got a chance to sit down with DEVIL-DOG's legacy owner, Jeff Rosenstock, to talk about celebrating the milestone this year.
