At 71, Doug Bihlmaier has become a global style hero to fashion-savvy social media creators.

Matt Hranek, the founder of the men’s fashion magazine WM Brown, first heard about Mr. Bihlmaier in the mid-1990s. At the time, he noticed that Double RL, a Ralph Lauren spinoff brand, had the best versions of the vintage military clothing and watches he sought for his own collection.

One day, while waiting in line outside a vintage show, Mr. Hranek met the man himself — a shy, bearded figure in faded denim. From then on, whenever they spotted each other at fairs, Mr. Bihlmaier would smile beatifically and give Mr. Hranek the peace sign.

The rest is history or should I say the rest is that the king of vintage was found.
