Eric in a Striped Bow Tie and a White Suit, Chestnut St
Brent: What you got on today, Eric?
Eric: Today I’m wearing a very affordable outfit. The suit is actually from H&M.
Brent: No kidding!
Eric: The shirt is from Calvin Klein, and the bowtie, I want to say, is Versace.
Brent: The one element that’s not quite as affordable as the others.
Eric: Well, you know what, it’s called getting them on sale. And then my shoes I got from Europe. From Russia. I don’t know what the brand is, but that’s where they come from.
Brent: Was that from some small boutique or something?
Eric: A small boutique on South Street, called Dudes, D-U-D-E-S, and they have exclusive shoes and clothing that comes straight from Europe.
Brent: Is this how you dress most of the time, Eric?
Eric: It is.
Brent: Is it part of work, or is it just…
Eric: Part of work.
Brent: Do you mind saying where you work?
Eric: No, it’s cool. I sing professionally. I’m classically trained. I went to school in Princeton at West Minster Choir College, but here I serve at the Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church, which is the largest black Baptist church here in Philadelphia. It’s got about 20,000 members.
Brent: I’ll bet it’s got an incredible choir.
Eric: Incredible. So I had to sing there for something today. So that’s why I’m…
Brent: Well you look sharp.
Eric: Thank you.
