Today I thrifted that big annoying dent out of the back of my Jeep...

Dude in a van festooned with auto shop banners flagged me down and did it for $300 at the shop ... how 'bout a hundred dollars? ... fifty? ... thirty bucks, final offer!

Hell yeah!! Really glad you like it man, and it looks great to me. Very nice!

Today's thrift fit pic. I owed this one to Andro for a while now. Thanks duder!
2 things I knew after taking these:
1) I had to pull up my pants. (They fit, but I've been losing some weight, so up they go)
2) My lips are sumptuous. Hide the women.
Suit is a charcoal HF in Loro Piana Super 130s from Andro
Tie is a silver/blue houndstooth BB Makers from the 90's or something. One of my favorite ties.
Shoes are AE something. Oxfords with little broguing. Grabbed them from Nordstrom Rack when I started my job (moneymoneymoney)

I just received a big envelope containing a very nice RLPL shirt from Brianpore and a large box containing a beautiful Italian-made houndstooth Polo by Ralph Lauren houndstooth sport coat with double vents and patch pockets AND a pair of vintage Sperry Top-Siders (IN MY SIZE!!!) from 330CK. It's like Christmas up in here!

Thanks for the trades and I truly hope that you are as happy as I am when your packages arrive.

Can't wait to get my package!

I will say this for the Monsignor stuff- if anyone sees a suit in 36S that's not horribly dated, pick it up and send it my way. I have one, and I actually quite like it. It's not the world's greatest suit, but the jacket is nicely shaped and the fabric is attractive.

Only one find lately...pair of NWT Bill's Khakis M2 flat-front poplin pants. These things are sick but not my style. If anyone wants them before they head to ebay for considerably less they're available. 35 waist, unhemmed at the bottom.





looks like a stain in the first picture but that's actually the Bill's Khaki logo from the inside of the back pocket. The pants are really breathable and light.

Today's thrift fit... Been trying to find the bathroom empty all afternoon! One time there was a guy in there in the ugliest polo I've ever seen, ill-fitting baggy chinos, and Vibram Five-Finger shoes. At work. WTF?

Anyway:


hey now... no hating on my fivefingers now...
