I spotted Justin while I was biking along Commonwealth Ave. and screeched to a halt to speak with him.  It's a bit rare when I find a Boston lad who dresses with such panache.  He describes his hip style as a "modern take on old-school Boston Brahmin."  Here he sports a borrowed hat, scarf found at an open market in Spain, Ralph Lauren jacket, Zara shirt, Acne shorts, Bobby from Boston belt, watch bought off of Gilt Groupe, shoes by Jack Purcell for Converse, and bag from Barneys.
