Straight-Up: Spider

Bob ‘Spider’ Hayes is a 64-year-old retiree from Connecticut, U.S.A. i-D Online snapped Spider looking super slick on the sidewalks of New York. Sporting a rather fine Stetson from “a shop on Delancy that’s no longer there,” Spider’s also wearing some Prada specs, an Andrew Marc leather jacket, a Nautica scarf, a pair of Tim’s and “just some regular jeans.” Bob’s a busy chap, right now he’s working on promoting a new club specialising in jazz/urban jazz and R&B for older black people, “there aren’t many clubs like that in Connecticut” Bob explains. But first thing’s first he’s making the most of his time in NY, he’s hitting the shops, “I’m looking for a nice sweater.”
