The Riviera Club menswear look book reminds us just how much we love the laid back vintage style of Southern California surfers. In their debut collection, friends and designers Derek Buse, Greg Ullery, and Joe Sadler looked to a man named Bucker Spreckels—a real life Los Angeles party boy who spent his multimillion dollar inheritance surfing around the globe and chasing women before dying very young—as inspiration for the spring 2010 collection. Each season the boys of Riviera Club have vowed to search for a different real-life or mythical muse, hopefully without losing their specific brand of West Coast charm.

His name was Bunker, not Bucker and his family was a well-known hotheaded west coast San Francisco/Hawai'i sugar tycoon's family.
