NY Times on Tristan Thompson

[tamster]

for what it's worth. kinda random, but at least he was singled out in a "positive way."


NY Times article about NBA draftee fashion

"Perhaps the most GQ-ready look was found on Tristan Thompson, the fourth player selected, also by the Cavaliers. The forward from the University of Texas wore a custom charcoal suit by Paper Brown Bag, a Harlem label, that called to mind a very fashionable Pee-wee Herman with tapered pants and a shrunken jacket. Thompson, 20, comes to the league with a taste for Ferragamo, YSL and Comme des Garçons. “I definitely like a European look, pride myself on the European style,” he said."

I'll tell ya what - Tristan and Kemba both look light years better than some of the suits in years past, where guys would wear like 5,6, or 7 button suits and look absolutely ridiculous. Kemba's shoes look a bit like a joke pair of MyJoys golf shoes you'd create, but other than that, they look like a young rich Euro. I'd buy either one of their suits, minus Kemba's double pocket. Looks a little to Banana Repub for my taste.
