There’s a textbook Drake photo…

on the internet. He’s at a Toronto Raptors game wearing this incredibly-overpriced bandana-themed puffer from Japanese brand Visvim.

It’s one of those future vintage photos where you’re like “damn, where do I find this piece?” the way we all did when Jay-Z wore camo pants to a Brooklyn Nets game years ago.

Jay found the camo pants at Barneys New York.

But Drake is a different story. Turns out, he was taking shopping advice from…

…a curator on Instagram.

“When [Drake] first DM’d me I was just happy to be recognized by somebody so iconic. He buys so much shit that I send him…We just sort of texted for a bit…he said if I saw anything that I thought would be good for him to just send it through. I've been doing that sort of regularly,” quotes courtesy of Complex.
