shop visit: general quarters.

mariah — Mon, 20 May 2013 21:21:39 +0000

While we recover from our trip last week to Brimfield — which we’ll be sharing with you shortly! — we’d definitely be remiss if we didn’t discuss our recent visit to General Quarters, the Los Angeles menswear shop that’s been holding it down on La Brea for a little over two years. We had the [...]

From our family to yours, Happy Mother’s Day to all the awesome moms out there! JAHN HALL: “Like most folks, I’m among those who would rank their mom tops — and like most folks, I’m right. Yup. Just about every mother is rad. Mine? She’s the best — probably the very best the world has [...]

T-shirts suck. Well, generally. The 5-pack of white undershirts you buy while shopping for a garbage pail or plastic cutlery at Target (or whatever you actually get at Target), those flimsy shirts with strings and open seams hanging out of the collar band (which will most definitely “bacon in the wash” despite the claims of [...]

While we at BKLYN Dry Goods are commonly united by an “insatiable curiosity and a love of vintage,” the remarkable array of other interests and talents of our BKDG team members is something we are very proud of and constantly seek to tap into. A prime example we’d like to share with you today involves [...]

the etsy challenge: your new home office.

jahn — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:14:32 +0000

Had you approached me with any small-talk about DIY-site, Etsy, say four years ago, I would have politely nodded, slowly walked away…and then written you off, settled in my assumption that you probably liked scrap-booking and make-it-yourself dream-catcher kits more than the average human being. Nothing wrong with that…just probably wouldn’t invite you into my [...]

picnic like a pro.

bradley — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 03:05:12 +0000

It’s picnic season everybody! Time to get out there and take advantage of your local park, hop on your bike and enjoy some sunshine! When it comes to picnics, everybody seems to have their own particular style. In fact, when it came to deciding on our own favorite picnic style, we couldn’t land on just [...]

to do: 2013 summer music festivals.

mariah — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:59:34 +0000

Anyone else as excited as we are for summer? Over here at BKDG we are stoked for what summer has in store, and personally, one of our favorite features of the season is the music festival: the people, the weather, the music, the atmosphere — it’s incredible! Since we’ll be hitting up a lot of [...]

have pack, will travel: mystery ranch.

bradley — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 04:46:36 +0000

The mercury is rising fast in the city and we are getting ready to declare the end of our winter hibernation once and for all. This time of year we always start itching to get out of the city and enjoy the great outdoors for a weekend. There’s no better way to get a summer [...]

the most influential artist you’ve never heard of.

jahn — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:47:47 +0000

While J.C. Leyendecker’s name may not incite immediate recognition, it’s near impossible to ignore his impact on American culture. Born 1874 in a small town near Frankfurt, a young Joseph Christian Leyendecker would make a move across the Atlantic, to Chicago, with his family. He’d later attend the Art Institute only after taking on his [...]

bkdg x northern grade los angeles.

mariah — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 13:02:44 +0000

We’re back from our travels west and couldn’t have had a better trip! Between visiting with our California friends and family and participating in Northern Grade Los Angeles our trip was definitely full, but in the best way…and we are definitely missing that California sunshine. Northern Grade, in its first appearance in Los Angeles, [...]
