Less Yesterday and More Today

The Life and Times of Chris Walbert

The Pop Up Flea

This afternoon I had the pleasure of checking out the fine goods at the Pop Up Flea. The Pop Up Flea experience is a nearly overwhelming level of awesome. Defined by its creators as, “part flea market and part pop up shop”, the Pop Up Flea featured both well-known and smaller brands, all selling excellent menswear.

With the caveat that I really know nothing about fashion, the Pop Up Flea was, to me, exactly what men’s fashion should be. The clothes sold there were all high quality, classic, and without pretense. I also really enjoyed getting a chance to talk to some of the guys who actually made the clothing and learn more about their companies.

Congratulations and thank you to Michael Williams and Randy Goldberg for putting the event together. I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.

Here are a few photos I took today.
