Stockholm Street Style...Rugged Wear Urbanised

Having a love affair with Timberland-esque boots at the moment in the urban environment. Probably not a coincidence that I have also developed an obsession with The Wire....in the early series Timberland's seemed to be the choice of footwear for the boys in the game (anyone who has watched The Wire will know what I mean: D'Angelo, Wallace et al).


Anyway, when I spotted this gent in Stockholm, apart from being handsome (grey hair at its distinguished best!), I liked what he was wearing: the canvas belt, paint-splashed jacket (perhaps he is an artist?), tortoiseshell glasses, boots (Timberland's?)...rugged wear perfect for the modern urban environment.

Fan me down, that guy is HOT!
