Thanks! Yea, that was a very enjoyable interview. Probably one of the nicest guys I've come across in this industry. Just a very earnest and open person.

Can't go wrong with someone who drops a Dazed and Confused quote to wrap things up!

Probably wasn't the intention, but one of the takeaways after reading that was don't baby your best stuff. I mostly do this anyhow. I recently bought a pretty expensive knit and I'm just going to wear it into the ground.

Funny to think I worked at Abercrombie the same time Aaron Levine did. And my interest in the brand completely disappeared until he came back 20 years later.

Yeah this was one of my favorite posts in a long time. I really admire people who are brave enough to be so honest and vulnerable openly, especially as I find it hard to do myself. Also his clothes have always been absolute bangers - both at CM and AF’s revival.

I kind of forgot about Rogues Gallery, but I had a flannel and a jacket from them in college that I really liked. It's a shame that it sounds like they sort of did him dirty.

Love Aaron, he seems like such a wholesome guy

So Derek's written before about how menswear more or less hasn't changed in 100 years (at least for those who still wear something other than athleisure) and I always took that with a grain of salt. Recently, however, I found a 1937 yearbook from my kid's high school and it's amazing. Guys in perfectly high-waisted trousers with billowy shirts rolled at the sleeve, Harrington jackets, knitwear like zip up cardigans and camp shirts. The only thing that stands out to me is a lot of guys have a time piece chain at the waist but other than that it's all basically current styleforum ideals for casual menswear

Ha I had this experience yesterday. I had to pop down to the car park of my building to deliver something to some friends, and as I’ve been doing all the way through lockdown I got myself dressed up for my five minutes outdoors. I gave my new cream linen sport coat a run out (hello, spring weather), and when I got downstairs I found my friends sitting on a bench in sweatpants and hoodies, surreptitiously drinking vodka from a Coke bottle.

I looked like their case worker.

Bought the NMWA Varsity jacket thanks to Derek's nudging in his latest post. Clearly I march to the prevailing beat.
