Life+Times profiles groundbreaking hood clothier Dapper Dan, who is joined for the interview by his friend, the equally esteemed Pee Wee Kirkland. Dan speaks on his early life in Harlem and how he learned the game as a lookout for the neighborhood hustlers before taking a trip to Africa and returning to open his business on 125th Street. He talks about lacing LL Cool J, The Fat Boys, Jam Master Jay and Run, and how the infamous fight between Mike Tyson and Mitch Green blew up his spot. Your man pulled out the original Louis goose that Alpo owned. That’s some legendary shit right there.
