Finally a nice trip to an AE store.

It was the usual, I acted enraged that I bought my 5A’s for $299 and now they are $245. Kim acted like she cared. I asked if they had the alligator belt in brown. She went and grabbed it for me. Nothing I like better than an attractive woman grabbing my belt, so I had to buy it. If grabbing my belt is great, I thought she should grab my brown Shell belt also. I rummaged around the sock drawer. Nothing sexy about a woman touching my socks, so I did my usual of pick up a pair and Kim told me yes or no and what pair of pants they go with. Yeah, she knows my wardrobe. So it turned into a $600 purchase with all of Kim’s suggestions. Shoes will have to wait.

Help a fellow weasel out. Anybody order a gray suede MacNeil in the last trunk show? I'd love to see what that looks like. You know, for research purposes.

Heck, even if you ordered gray suede something else, I'd love to see in the wild pictures, too. Just having a hard time picturing the combo in my mind's eye.

Thanks!

Love,

Donkey

Any Chester is a great Chester.

I mentioned I have been looking for a brown Chester for several years and all I find are the black ones and occasionally burgundy. Here are the brown ones. I think AE should consider a short run. I think they would sell more than a few. So, would you sign up for a pair of these?

Especially if they dropped all burnishing. I would really like a single shade that will patina over time.

If I were ever to wear sharkskin shoes I think I would want them un-dyed "natural sharkskin." I have no idea what that would look like but I just don't think I'd feel right about choosing black or brown dyed sharkskin shoes.

Does this mean I respect sharks more than cows? I have eaten shark only a few times and my diet is probably 50% cow so make of that what you will

Well, they’re both pretty dumb animals. However, I think I’d put the shark higher on the respect ladder because, you know, THEY CAN EAT YOU!

That said, F sharks, I’ll dye ‘em purple if I want.

That’s a serious commitment.., however those are seriously gorgeous.
They only go outside on dry days.
And as much as it’s rained here, it has taken WAY longer than a month to accumulate that much time in the sun.
