Oh, I have jetsons technology. I get up in the morning and the robots bathe me, brush my teeth, and dress me. It's super efficient.They even throw me out of bed!

Bumped into S_allen_P at a shop yesterday. It's always nice to discuss finds/flip talk/strategy in person.

whats the deal with Henry Cotton's? grabbed a cool looking cotton sweater for pennies, made in Italy seems to be good quality. anyone know anything more about the brand? where its sold etc?

I mean, that's why I wear a tie, right? So if I don't button all the buttons of my shirt it doesn't even matter. I actually alternate which I button so I don't wear out the button holes prematurely!

Though, to be honest. I'm a little terrified that I'm going to have to take a piss really badly and struggle to get the buttons of jeans sometimes. I once was almost late for an interview because I couldn't button the button on my sleeve. I'm so inept sometimes...

Ever dealt with a button fly in a bar, late at night and three sheets to the wind? Not fun.

I have some of their linen stuff... relaxed shirts, comfy beach shorts. Mostly good stuff. I believe they are carried (or were carried) by Bloomingdales. I'm sure not worth retail but can be a good pickup for the price.

Button Fly jeans are easy, even when drunk. it requires the same skill that enables you to undo an attractive lady's bra with one hand, in the dark. (it's a jedi skill)
it's better than the chance of any zipper related problems.......nah mean?
Besides, you would only need to undo all the buttons if you intend to sit down to pee. - seriously,undo the top 2 and whip it out.

^ lol... but srsly... give you a $100 if you can do your buttonflys one-handed!

I can only do one of those...

At least my fly isn't open when I go drinking though.

I once had a girl over and she was trying to take off my shirt. She was hella confused because she didn't realize that they were all snap buttons.

It was pretty hilarious.

Drunk is an instawin!

Out of (morbid?) curiosity I just tried this out... did it in under a minute.

Nickels, you're going to be losing a lot of money if you plan on keeping your end of the deal!
