After my earlier discoveries at American Eagle Outfitters and Nave, Justin decided to check out some stores with me. So during a long afternoon in the meatpacking district, we stopped at An Earnest Cut & Sew. In the glass display case in the back, we found pins by Black Sheep and Prodigal Son. One simple piece featured a lone whale made from blackened wood atop a straight pin. Justin liked how the pin looked on the lapel of his jacket, but except for the exquisitely worn Bible case that it came in, neither of us could figure out why the pin was so expensive. So we left, both a little annoyed by the prices. 821 Washington St., nr. Gansevoort St.; 212-242-3414.
