Daily Snaps : Pop Up Flea
Trav: Today we were fortunate enough to make it to The Pop Up Flea presented by A Continous Lean and Urban Daddy , two very successful sites. There were a couple of very interesting brands at the show. Billy Kirk, 3sixteen, Hattan New York and Gitman Brothers were just some of the few brands in attendance. I didn’t know much about Billy Kirk prior to this event but after gaining some knowledge from the man Kirk himself, I strongly recommend you guys to look into them for some premium leather goods and accessories. It is always a pleasure meeting and conversing with Andrew, one half of the minds behind 3sixteen. Keep an eye out for those Deck Chukkas due to drop very soon. My eyes are open. Gitman Brothers, the Master Shirt Makers had a few impressive pieces on display; they actually just did a collab with h(y)r collective that resulted in some insane oxford shirts. It was a very good event altogether. Stay tuned for upcoming related news.
JKISSI: The overall experience of visiting this event was awesome in its entirety. The minds behind this event Michael Williams and Randy Goldberg selected the perfect location to provide shoppers with such good products from vintage finds to well established brands. It’s simply amazing to see how the influence of the Internet can bring these kinds of events to life. The two discussed on how they were thinking of opening a store together, but settled on the idea of organizing the pop up flea at the end. I would have to agree with them on that decision; the event was well worth it. “This is a menswear goldmine!” stated one guy we met at the Pop Up Flea after stumbling upon the show from walking around the area. There is nothing like discussing a brand with people who are actually apart of the team and process. Talking to the individuals behind some of these brands, and their journey to where they are now just gives us more inspiration and hope for the future. I just want to say it was really a pleasure meeting everyone at this event, and wish we could cover each brand there. If you missed this Pop Flea there is no need to pull out your hair there are talks of it taking place in California, and NYC again in the fall. Stay tuned.
Here are the fits below
Billy Kirk
3sixteen
Hattan New York
Fits are dope as usual. The Billy Kirk collection looks pretty nice.
Effin sick, I shoulda went. Wish I could afford those 3sixteen x Quoddy Chukkas though
dude, i called you back! but still, it looks phenomenal. those 3sixteen quoddys are going to get me in a lot of trouble.
Even as a woman, I look at the basket of men’s shoes and can’t help but want to slip my feet in that top pair. They’re beautiful.
There’s something so wholly different in the aesthetics of a place to buy men’s clothes over women’s clothes. I have to admit to being jealous– this place looks spectacular.
Well done fellas. Good meeting you both. Kirk and I were very impressed that, at such a young age, you are both so focused and dedicated. Your passion for style and all that surrounds it is contagious. Keep up the good work and all the best as you climb your way to the top.
Ashe Mischief, why not wear them? I see women frequently wear wingtips very well….actually a little more than men do but I digress…..guys great job again. The pics are fantastic!
Thanks for stopping by not once but twice guys… as always, we really appreciate the coverage and the support. See you soon – hood chinese on me whenever you want.
Great job fellas. I’m a little tight Hattan doesn’t make products to fit my large head lol. And I’m certainly digging where 3sixteen is going…and after rocking those Peanut Grizzlies for the first time last week, I’m making every plan to wear them 80% of the time this fall. And great photos as always.
great fits! cool way of wearing a denim button down
It was great to meet you guys at the Flea yesterday. I really appreciate your interest in our new brand….it was great to talk with guys that really appreciate the product. Your site looks great…keep going….
Are those turquoise loafers in the second pic, the raf simmons x fred perry tassel loafers? new colourway or something? They look fab! What are those?! any close ups on them? Many thanks! great shots btw…
Yall are freshh…you def have a new follower for the site…..hit me on twitter.com/mushthekid
Nice fits to both Josh and Trav. I like what I see from these brands definitely. It looks like I might be in NY sometime in the coming weeks.

*thumbs up on the gear.
Glad to see y’all getting so much positive response for the participants. Stuff like this is another reason i need to make it up to NYC more often! Oh, and looking fresh as always.
Jerel : Thanks man yes I have to agree with you on that and encourage you check out their collection man. Billy Kirk are one of the most humble people who I have met thus far. They fulfill the void in mens accessories and even more man you already know how men are limited to accessories to improvise with. Just check them out should get some products from them becaue I know I will.
Willy Cheesesteak : Man I know you live in L.E.S so it would have been no hassle to just pass through to this 3 day event. Telling you it was worth it , it caught me a bad time with my funds so I was just mad at the fact that I wanted so much! , but didnt have enough for everything.
Stevezep666 : Man, my bad we were chilling with Andrew at the moment and I’m like damn where is stevee. Thats when I called you man lol . It’s partially my fault I lodged my phone in my bag the rest of the day too. Net time def!
Asche Mischeif : Like my friend jfkjean said it could work out pretty well for you. I have to agree with him I have seen some women pull it off real good lol surprisingly. I should have told you I know you are in the NYC area definitely next time!
Chris: Man it was great speaking to you and Kirk , really some great words that we will take with us on our journey. We talked about how you guys were so humble even though you are well established and all.I know we will bump into each other again. We will keep in touch!
JFK Jean : You already know we appreciate your support on the site man keep doing some good things with yours like I told you on twitter def a site to watch people!
Andrew : You already know its nothing for us to return the favor man always in to support you guys at 3sixteen. Yes we have to get the chinese food in man, some basketball too lol! Btw must say the deck chukkas are something people need to look for
Najee D : Thanks man like I said to Andrew these are def one the top shoes that are dropping this year, and next you made a great choice man. I checked out your site and heard of you guys from BKC , good stuff guys that was a very interesting interview your dad did with Michael Jackson. Very small world lol and interesting.
Jeremy : Thanks man yeah tried to incorporate that shirt in a different way. I could of worn it untucked but I dont think it would of have the same effect.
Ian : No problem man the Hattan hats were definitely something that caught my eye from when I first walked in the event. The red chambray and blue one pictured in the post really do it for me man. We will keep in touch man keep up the good work.
Hadi : Trav will def answer you with that question I don’t know too much about the loafers
Mush: Alright man will follow you and thanks
Reggie : Thanks man let us know we both work in the city we could some how set something up for a day or so kick it a little , you been on this site from the start man really appreciate that
JP : We forgive you lol, Big fan of your blog man so those words coming from you means a lot to us man. One of the more better menswear sites I like to visit with ACL and Jake Davis keep it up. Definitely will return the roll.
Mike: wow ..thanks alot man
Hadi: yes they are the raf perry loafers. They are the ones that came out in the spring, the navy blue ones. Although wen the sun hits it does give a little tourquiose tint which is pretty cool.
Greenjeans: yeh man i hope to see you at the capsule show. And for the sleeve steez i really dont mind people doing it. Inspiration is key.
Joseph A: Man we are heavy blog readers ourselves, most events we attend we hear about from other blogs or people that we know.
Lendo: Thanks a lot man. Yeh the city is just full of inspirational people that recieves and give lots of love.
Jeremy: thank Josh for that pic. I love it too!
. Thanks a lot.
Fem: comments like that always make me smile
Raymond Taite: Im kicking myself now because im pretty sure i had the card and info on the company but cant seem to find it right now. But it was a knitting company based out of Ohio i think and those sweaters where some of their complete deadstock editions of sweaters and polos that the company knitted from like the 1940s on. Some really dope pieces, It was justhard for me to find my size in these crazy unique polos that they had. everything was very precisely cut for men who lived in those eras and it just so happened that a lot of men wore very high waisted pants so alot of the perices were very short. Ill give more info once i find the card.
James: As mentioned before they are the Raf Simons X Fred Perry Tassel Moc Shoe. I got them at Opening Ceromony.
Yves: Thanks, its just a grey light cooton and linen shirt that i got from Uniqlo.
sQuincy: thanks for your constant love and support man. really appreciate it.
Nice fits to the both of you guys. Info on the loafers trav?
Thank you for the photos. Like your styles and this great blog
When I want to see handsome well dressed African American men I come here LOL ok let me stop hagging you guys.
Good post this event looked very interesting I’m in NYC even though its a mens sale I agree with Asche Mischief that we could of snagged some items for our war drobes!
Attila, if you look above he says it
I just read my previous comment and relaised there was a question mark on the end, sorry, not deliberate. I just published a post on my blog about you guys’ blog, it both inspires and challenges me ?
It’s force of habit I promise you, nothing personal. Also I can’t spell realised. I’m gonna quit commenting now ?
Good stuff y’all. Trav looks like he finna rip off his shirt like the hulk or something
ead: Nice outfits though. Inspiration through fashion & photography
jkissi what jeans are those? been lookin for that color in that fit
Hey guts where can I find those pants that Joshua has on,and where can I find them at?
Guys*** sorry about that.
Atilla : Hey man he stated the brand Raf Simons X Fred Parry Collab
OJ : No problem thanks man you have a nice blog there was flipping through the archives and such.
Dior’s Princess : No really continue ! lol j/p but we realy appreciate you taking theh time out to visit the site , I think ladies could rock the wingtips nicely. Get into that!
Fem: You seem like a funny person in real life LOL , but i took a look at the post really appreciate the fact that you did a post on us. <3 we are inspired by all!
Meji : Ahaha always look fwd to a good laugh from you on every post , thanks man
Macwich : Those are uniqlo T-000 khakis skinny fit you I don’t know if uniqlo still carries them, but I have had them for about 2 years now one of the best khakis I have ever bought before. $39.50 too but now they’re 49.50 which is still good.
Thanks for all the help.
Mr.St.Aubin : Lol @ Guts, but yeah again Uniqlo T-000 Khakis cost about $49.50 the best quality seems to last for ever. In our Bkc X SE post trav has on the darker version of the khakis and in this post I have the lighter version which was released first than the darker ones that trav had on. To find them .. I’ll stop by Uniqlo on my lunch break to see if they’re there. As far as I know they only have the real bright colors left like red/orange/purple/green andI haven’t seen the khaki for some time. try ebay .
If you want I have topman khakis in the same exact color and fit in a 32 X 32 will post pictures if your interested.
Yes I am very interested. Random question about how tall are you?
Mr.St. Aubin : Cool man they were only worn once by the way , I’m 6’1 and 163 lbs to give you a idea of figure and such
Anonymous : No problem at all
That sounds great I’m around the same stature,what is your asking price for them?
Mr.St.Aubin : Ok sounds excellent lets set it up if possible I’m asking what I paid for it $50 shipped to where ever in the U.S Lol lets stop commenting on the site and filling it up though. Hit me up on my email Jkissi7@gmail.com for more specifics lets try to iron this out.
James : Missed your comment sorry about that but yeah I did cut up the scarf to make it to a little pocket square lol got to improv sometimes! lol
Nice finds! I need to stumble more.
Creativity breeds quality, you guys stepped it up on this one…
thank You so much for the comments =]
I love the outfits, beautiful finds
How do you get such damn good pictures?
Good post
Great pictures
even better outfits!lol love the blog guys
Lefty : Thanks man yeah man there is so much out there ,just a matter of time before you find the good gems.
Ryan : Ryan thanks man means a lot coming from you saying how we have stepped it up because thats what we have been trying to do. Def!
The Fashion Inquisitor : No problem just returning the favor, thanks we try lol . Well I have a SLR camera hich takes some pretty good pictures in general. Canon Rebel XTI witha 50 mm 1.8 lens , it really does its job I cant complain!
Jake : Thanks man please continue to read we got some stuff coming!
I’ve seen coverage of this event elsewhere but none have left me drooling over my keyboard like you guys just have! I totally feel left out here in London. The Pop Up Flea looks so slick ( I guess I should expect nothing less from ACL and Urban Daddy), anything similar here in London looks a total mess.
that billy kirk collection is looking pretty clean. and very good fits coming from you two (like usual).
so is there a technique to rolling your sleeves?. cause it looks perfect. can you do a tutorial on how you guys do it? haha im serious.
[...] This post was Twitted by Rambuc [...]
nice work…
what brand is your demin shirt?
Great Post
I guess it’s a good thing to try and keep a good fashion sense
what kind of shoes is j. kissi wearing in that one? i know trav has the raf x fred perry ones on, but the white sneakers are great on j. kissi and just wanted to know! thanks.
Can someone tell me where I can get the messenger bag j.kissi have? Been looking for it for weeks. Also how do you all fold your sleeves, they ARE perfect like Zed said.
Style Savage Steve : thanks my good bloke , you are great
Riche : thanks man appreciate it, and yup Billy kirk always doing good things
Zed : No not at all lol you just have to fold it neatly the first times around then when you keep going up it gives off that clean look, try it it’s realy easy.
DUS : Thanks , sorry for the late reply guys but my shirt is Topman
The Ca$h : Thank you , and that’s true but it comes natural aftet a good while.
Austin : Yeah man they’re van white era’s cost me about $30 bucks fairly cheap but looks very good when worn in, I recommend the buy.
Darryl : It’s from Banana Republic from about one year ago got it for like $60 on sale , it would be very difficult to find right now to be honest. Check out ebay, and their site and maybe you can find one that looks close to it because they came out with like a trio of bags in same pattern/style.
Thanks everyone for the comments!
Thanks for the pictures. Feels like I was there.
Those Billy Kirk boots are perfect!
Instant Classic!
