Fit looking like an old-money Dad on a tropical vacation, standing in the buffet line for 3rds:
$1250 over at Mr. Porter. The type of people that buy this shirt are completely oblivious to the fact you can actually clothe your naked body for less than $3000. You’ll be chilling with them on your yacht, run out of margarita mix and make the suggestion to dock so you guys can run to WalMart to grab more. They’ve never been, and are intrigued after you tell them WalMart sells a wide array of goods. You get there, and their mind is absolutely blown when they see a 6-pack of Gildan crew neck white t-shirts for $12. After doing some quick mental math you inform them they could buy approximately 250 of the Gildan white t-shirts instead of one of the $505 Loro Piana white t-shirts they normally wear as an undershirt. You barely get your sentence out and you both burst into laugher at the absurdity of such a thought… I mean the Loro Piana is a silk blend, hardly comparable. $7 margarita mix in hand, you head to the front of the store to pay. Your friend is absolutely flabbergasted that self-checkout monitoring lady doesn’t seem to know what bitcoin is, and that WalMart will not accept it as payment. He’s getting heated… you tell him to chill, pulling a roll of $100 bills out of your Prada swim shorts. The lady asks if you’re a Guy Fieri fan; you’re not sure who that is, but you reply “A huge fan!” anyways.
Fancy:
I love factory tours! Multicam is definitely in my top 5 dead or alive camouflage patterns.
A lot of science and technology go into making the products as good as they are.
CDG put their ridiculous heart logo aside for once, got the Disney blessing and hit the cotton running:
£125 ($209 USD) over at END Clothing.
I bet you didn’t even know camo blocking was so hot right now. I didn’t either, but know I know. Add prototype looking Mickey Mouse sketches to it, a Mickey multicam into the mix, and what you have is a witches brew of straight fire.
If I would have known about this before I went to Disney Land with my family this Christmas I would have copped and stunted on all the basic park goers. Instead, doing as I normally do, I packed a massive duffle bag and a carry-on backpack full of clothes and shoes…. Did I wear all/most of it? Nope, I wore the same pair of raw denim I’ve been trying to break in, and just changed socks, underwear, and my t-shirt (ENDO Apparel of course) all week.
Side note: I didn’t forget about this blog, don’t worry. I’ve been crazy busy with ENDO though, so that’s been taking up most of my time. I’ll try my best to get posts up here more regularly! Thanks to all of you that still are subscribed and check back!
Loud camouflage socks:
$40 over at Nice Laundry.
At the end of the day isn’t that #menswear life all about quietly announcing to other guys how superior you are, as often as possible? If some ways happen to be inexpensive, then great. Sure $40 per pair of socks isn’t cheap if you’re used to buying Costco 12-packs. How many socks do you really need though? I suppose the first question should be how often do you do laundry? If you do laundry once a week, and want a bit of a buffer then 10 pairs of socks would probably do it. I don’t have a specific laundry schedule, so I have like 30+ pairs and have even bought more instead of doing laundry. I was actually thinking that I needed some nicer socks a while ago, so I’ll probably add at least a pair of these to my drawer. Good to have on hand when you know you’re going to be chilling out in public, casually throwing an ankle onto your opposite knee where your denim raises up causing the sock to peek out. Random people are not likely going to tell you how great your socks are, but when you catch them doing a sideways glance then quickly looking away you can chalk it up as a win.

Beams+ camouflage bow tie:
I faced the music a long time ago, I know you guys follow this blog primarily for one of three reasons. The first being you have a genuine interest in military inspired menswear and fashion in general… that’s great; “bless bless” (as they say). The second, you want to feel good about yourself because you’re not as #ForeverAlone as I am. Lastly maybe you’re forever alone too, and you like to relate. Any of those reasons are alright, as long as you keep coming back. Don’t worry about me, I’ll blog through the loneliness and might even end up with a camouflage bow tie or two.
$65 over at Mr. Porter. Definitely one of the cheaper items Beams+ makes next to their socks.
Send my condolences to the dry feet game:
Complaining about the rain will only get you so far. Drop $100 on these Swims camouflage print Galoshes though, and you’ll be stepping over the wet corpses of guys who have heart attacks when your stylish feet hit the streets. Bonus points if during a day of potentially inclement weather, you keep a pair of these rolled up in your bag and wear your Tier 0 limited edition Jordans anyway.
