JPAAT

Justin Paat, or as friends call him, JPAAT, is what I’d like to call nerd pirate chic. He’s every bit as whimsical as his wardrobe suggests. A fashion risk-taker, he’s most often found behind the counter at Balance Pan-Asian Grille, where he serves up Bombay Bowls and Bangin’ noodles with a smile – a half centimeter below his sweet curly handle-bar mustache.

How did you develop this particular look?

I battled to the death one thousand dapperly dressed assassins. From each of my slain foes, I took one article of clothing.

Who, or what, inspires you style-wise?

My style is kind of a juxtaposition of things I enjoy. Hip hop, dancing, art, traveling, anime, etc.

You’ll find elements of all of that in what I’m wearing.

What is the most bizarre item of clothing or accessory you own?

I have these harem beggar pants that only have one pant leg. They’re ridiculous.

Tell us about the best compliment you have received on an outfit.

“Justin you look f**king stupid.” -Rhys Rogers (Friend and co-worker) regarding everything I’ve ever worn, ever.

If you could impart any fashion wisdom to the men of Toledo, what would it be?

If you gotta look, look good.
