Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

[zissou]

^ive come to realize that BBBF OCBDs are the ideal shirt for me. The fit is perfect, and I love the thick supima fabric. If I lived in a fashionable city and worked at a job that requires me to wear suits every day, I think I'd wear all BBBF, but maybe not some of the more outrageous colors.

Isn't black fleece defunct? I guess you can find it on eBay still.

 

[zissou]

Nope. It's on the BB site, and there is a huge sale right now.

 

[Baron]

I think it's on sale because they're discontinuing it.

By the way, I just got a pair of BBBF chinos on eBay for $55 - they're kind of amazing - button fly with all MOP buttons, over constructed all around. The cut is conservative but in a way I like - high waisted, slim but not skinny. There's a bunch left on eBay still I believe.

Oh, well that's too bad! Good thing I have way more shirts than I will ever need.

If you're going to Browns you might as well check out Vertice too, they're on the same street.

Also layers on the same street.

Its a good street.

recommendations for ocbds with slightly thicker fabric and nicer roll than uniqlo

I'd say that if you're pretty skinny and not too tall, BBBF is great option. If you're taller or bigger, it's hard to beat regular Brooks Bros.

Who makes lightweight briefcase? Been carrying blue Filson 256. The thing is ridiculously heavy fully filled. Porter nylon models seem light but not very office appropriate.

Everyone should check the Insta to see a non blurry photo of Fok

Slightly on the topic of city guides, where do I shop in Miami/Washington?

If you like Margiela, you should visit @RegisDB9's walk in closet.

Hehe Miami is nice in pieces I really hate the traffic here though. Old people and sadly my own Cuban people....mannn

I'd say visit Collins AV of course. Stop by Enriquetas and Michaels for food and the design district for your fashion needs

Someone used a camera that wasn't from 2006
