Jason...Cooperative Ministry

I met Jason while donating an old cashmere sweater and a pair of monk straps to the Cooperative Ministry Clothing Bank. Jason describes his look as a mixture of 1950s greaser, surfer dude, with an occasional bit of punk thrown in for good measure. Born in Jamaica, he moved to North London as a child (ah, how we reminisced over our old stomping ground). Jason later came to Columbia to be near his mother.

I failed to ask him about the flipped over tongues of his Converse high tops. I'm certain some special meaning must be behind it.
