For the dudes: hobo-ing it up, Dr. Dog-style

Thanks to Christiana, tonight I'm going to see Dr. Dog and Buried Beds play at the Electric Factory, two amazing bands with their roots here in West Philly. This got me thinking ... what better inspiration for hobo style for the dudes than Dr. Dog? Mad points for anyone who makes a newspaper suit to wear to the wedding ...







If you don't know the music of Dr. Dog, I urge you to listen. Their music is different than anything you've heard. Even though they've much evolved from the super lo-fi scrappy 8-track recordings of their early days, the music remains timeless and truthful and unaffected by modern tastes. Read more about the band here.

Now here's some items currently on sale on Etsy that'll help you achieve the look ...
