“Thorn-proof for the City” - A Fashion Varsity

A pinch of punk - a New England – a ‘clash’
Military dressage and cavalry fabrics for civilian use.
Long Johns worn with Tailored jackets.
Elegant yet eased, the starched with the washed

Details contrast with garments – trench coat belts cinch classic covert coats.
Tightly wound with relaxed and washed – the crisp with the washed.
