My mom doesn't hesitate to voice her opinion about my posts and who I link to. She doesn't like some of my photographs of barns, she thinks Michael Williams is a dick and that his blog is over hyped, and she absolutely raves about Jon Patrick's The Selvage Yard. On Friday I met up with JP, as Jon Patrick is known throughout the menswear and blogging world, to interview the fine gentlemen that run design at Rugby for an article in next month's H(Y)R Collective.
According to JP, he "found it [the bag] rotting in the basement an old Victorian house of a friend's, probably been there for decades and it was as brittle as an old dinosaur bone. took it home, soaked it in lindseed oil and cleaned it up with mink oil and it's now one of my most valued treasures. Not sure what the initials represent, but I'm intrigued and will never feel complete until I know..."
Meeting someone after reading their blog posts and tweets for months creates a unique sense of familiarity and insight into their thoughts. I had an awesome afternoon with JP and look forward to working with him on a column for the H(Y)R Collective.
The Selvage Yard,
Jon Patrick (Twitter).

looks like PAPA, like some old dad, who was gifted the bag for a birthday, or father's day and took it to work everyday maybe? just speculation

JP looks way less like Freddie Miles in these photos than in mine...
You're going down Antonio.the
your references to moms in this blog are walking on the edge....
Antonio,
I am glad you spotted JP's similarity to his stunt double, Philip Seymour Hoffman. However, to JP's credit he is much taller and slimmer than the character i fell in love with in the Big Lebowski.
Foster
I'm sure the dynamic team-up will be great for H(Y)R, he lucked out with you two. Which one is Batman and which is Robin?
Oh, and regards to your mother.
Congrats on the h(y)r interview! Looking forward to it. Maybe your mom should guest blog a little
Nick,
I am pumped for the column, it should be a cool opportunity. I will pass the kind words onto my mom.
Foster
what kinda boots is JP wearing... any idea? btw, unlike mom i totally dig the barn pics.
Brett,
Im glad you like the barn photos, mothers arent always right i guess. I just forwarded your comment to JP and i will let you know what i hear or he may just post a comment.
Foster
The boots are old RL.
Best,
JP
the initials are the greek letters E L (upside down V) T A. Anyone know the significance?
JP, et al.
Looks like you have a Greek postal bag.

Jeff--
Thanks!
JP
Man...JP looks like a cool guy to hang out with. I can only imagine the stories that he can tell. I like his boots also.
Your mother has not posted on my blog in awhile. I hope I'm still in good standing.
Lesli,
My mom loves you and your blog.
Foster
That's a relief. I'm still waiting for a guest blog entry from her... And I hope her bicycle has rolled out of the garage once or twice.
Congrats on senior status.
SELVEDGE. Your as bad as OTC.
I love this blog and also the way the man in those photos is wearing I wanna get some jackets like that man but made by the Sildenafil Citrate designer.
you can say that this bags are almost forever, are soo resistant, and the elegance in it are obvious, I mean you can use it in any season of the year.
