"When an item catches your eye not because of any decorative details or embellishments, but because of its simplicity, that's what I like.  Almost in the same way how the cake with the most icing won't always be the best tasting.  I like finding work or outdoor clothing from previous generations, I'm sure a lot of people do actually.  I just like how simple that stuff was while still remaining functional.  I think that's what inspires me.  I suppose that and having an understanding that there can always be something to improve on.
