See those boots that Jake Ryan’s wearing in Sixteen Candles? I’ve made it my mission to find a pair of those for myself, and after years of searching, I found a pair of deadstock Carolina boots that are the exact same pair! They were nestled away behind dozens of boxes of other work boots at a quaint general store on the NY/CT. border called Saperstein’s. The best part? The guy wanted to get rid of them, so I got them for $40 bucks! So right now I’m sitting at the foot of the Berkshires, drinking bourbon, listening to Todd Rundgren and feeling damn good.

Let it be known that September through November of 2011 will forever be known as The Autumn Of Marty McFly. Between Nike’s Air McFly’s and Gant’s orange down vest by Michael Bastian, you’re just a DeLoran and pair of purple Calvin Klein underpants away from going Back to the Future.
