While I don't hate shorts, I've largely stopped wearing them when going out for social reasons - maybe a few times a season a most in super casual settings. I usually only wear them when exercising, lounging around the house or when running errands in hot weather.

I've bought two pairs of mall brand shorts (a navy pair from Uniqlo and a white patterned pair from Club Monaco) since caring more about clothes / getting into SWD, and I think they're enough to serve my needs for a good long time. I don't think I'll ever go out of my way to buy a "quality" pair.
I feel the same and ended up with a bunch of uniqlo shorts before a short vacation trip to FL a few years ago. Easy type shorts in cotton/linen and some of their stretch material. They seem to work fine and have held up well for the last 3 seasons. I just can't see myself spending money on quality shorts. I get why some people do, they just don't play enough of a role in my wardrobe.

Do you really need the blazer? It's a vineyard, people love being casual, well unless it's some sort of formal-ish event. I'd wear like jeans and a tucked in casual shirt and be done with it.

Guys. I need a proxy in Japan for an in-store purchase. Any takers?

Cheers
Idk about a proxy, but if you’re really for the culture, you’d open a boutique hotel in Kyoto and hire @peachfuzzmcgee. He’s spent enough time in LA already. Show us you deserve that username, Hood OG.

Sorry, but I am only in it for the jawnz. And a bit of cultural appropriation. But I don't think that counts.

If any of y'all open a boutique hotel in Japan, give me the big bucks and I'll proxy all the jawns. Funny though, I still ask my coworkers from Kyoto to proxy me ****. Although now I'm doing Poter Classic big boy jawn.

I've often wondered what kind of a dog is a hoo dog and keep hearing it in my head like Russell Peters' dad says hot dog.
