A look inside Rogues Gallery's 41 Wharf Street Store

/


Since September, I have interned at Rogues Gallery in Portland Maine. A few times a week I make the 70 mile drive down 295 to help Daniel Pepice and Alex Carleton with various projects. I have really enjoyed interning at Rogues Gallery and my experiences there have opened my eyes to a new world and inspired me a lot.

On Friday night I stopped by Rogues Gallery's flagship store on Wharf street in Old Port to drink some hot apple cider and check out their AW08 sale. Here is a look inside the store and more info about the sale that's going on right now.

Alex Carleton started Rogues Gallery in 2004, screen printing images of Maine onto vintage t-shirts out of his garage. The AW08 line of vintage t-shirts is now 40% off at 41 Wharf Street.

All Rogues Gallery jackets, sweaters, jeans and woven shirts are marked down 60%.

Hand made in Maine by Quoddy Trail Moccasin, Rogues' shoes come in high and low tops and are currently 40% off in the Wharf street store. I want the hightops in black with the white soles.

The art and other Maine memorabilia in the store does a great job of conveying Rogues' brand.

In addition to carrying a the full line of Rogues Gallery, 41 Warf Street also caries Woolrich Woolen Mills, S.N.S. Herning, Band of Outsiders, Cheap Monday and A.P.C. all of which are marked down 25%. Rogues' bags are marked down 40%.

Unfortunately the seven point buck is not for sale.

Trip to Popham Beach

/


Popham Beach State Park is nestled on the south side of the mouth of the Kennebec river and is a must see spot in Maine. Here are some photos from a recent excursion.

Gill Short Cruising Boots at work on the Kennebec River floodplain. The irregular ice formations are caused when brackish water (a mix between fresh water and salt water) freezes. The large blocks of ice float around during high tide and then settle like drift wood.

In the The Hunt For Red October, Captain Marko Ramius, played Sean Connery, sails his rogue Russian Submarine right past Popham Beach.

Excuse my booger.

A tribute To Wool

/

I love wool and I love the Life Archive. Here is a tribute to both.

These photos were taken in 1946 in Satran Scotland by Hans Wild.

Wool Sweater, Wool Shorts, Rubber Boots, and a white collared shirt.

This is where I imagine every shepherd living.

The Fat of The Land

/

I am interested in basing a brand around a blog. At the heart of a brand lies a core philosophy that defines purpose and product. Most brands rely on physical products as the primary means to convey their ideals. For example, a Submariner conveys Rolex's message of supreme quality, heritage, and exclusivity. A Prius conveys Toyota's commitment to protecting the environment and creating quality automobiles. Toyota and Rolex first built quality products and then established brands around these products.

Technology is changing this paradigm. Now, a brand can define itself through online content such as photos, editorials or selection of other quality content. In other words, a brand can now establish itself and gain traction before selling its first product. Hypebeast could leverage their online following and authority on streetwear to create a collaboration with Nike or Adidas on a limited edition sneaker. Will Common Projects collaborate with Selectism?

For the last few months I have been toying around the idea of starting a blog(and hopefully a brand) with my friend Edge. Based around self reliance, a connection to nature, rustication and exploration, we call our collection of photos and writings The Fat of The Land.
