Hopefully there's other nice stores around as I'll be living 20 minutes away from there soon.

That statement was in regard to my own recent purchases, I have enough of an archive to mix and match something a tad more eclectic.

I was surprised to learn that Mossimo is actually its own brand and not a Target house brand, and is actually Italian, as opposed to fakety-fake Italian as I assumed.

Not so much. Len Druskin is the only halfway decent men's store I've found. Calling it halfway decent might just be a stretch also.

Just saw their website. Looks like a good mix of stuff I'd actually like and douche wear. And they have like 3 store locations?

Workwear needs to die. Americana needs to die. This whole vintage = automatically cool thing needs to die. I just don't get the workwear love or the aesthetic EG is going after

I get it, but it's not for me. I don't think it needs to die though. Just go do your own thing and show those lumberjacks what's up.

It looks horrible; there's something funny about people dressing in "workwear" but cuffing their jeans perfectly, faithfully treating their brand-new redwings and belts with obenauf while rocking a symmetrical sleeve roll and styled hair. Yeah okay if you live on a farm or some backwoods town rock the plaid and the flannels with your jackets and jeans rolled to your shins but if you live in a town with more than 100 people you look like a clown. Its kind of like people who put thousand dollar rims and spoilers on their 93 honda civic and pretend they're driving a racecar. vroom vroom

Why did you sell off all your BR stuff Robert? You were going apeshit for it before.
