Yours Shearling

Wing Chun, 85, had on fall gear when we met him: a shearling coat he purchased twenty years ago on top of a plaid shirt paired with high-waisted pants. A black monochrome embroidered New York cap topped off the look. 

Mr. Chun immigrated here with his grandma and father and worked in the restaurant industry, though not in New York City. “It was easier to find work in other states,” he said. He did everything from waiting tables to delivering food to being a host. When he was younger, he and a few friends opened up a Cantonese restaurant together. But they started to disagree on things and he decided to close up shop. “I preferred to lose the restaurant than lose my friendships,” he said.
