I feel like this outfit is straight out of blogspot ‘09-‘10.

What vest is that in your May 11 photo?

It’s from Haversack, and I think they put out a different version every fall.

One of my favorite parts of spring is eating lunch while I’m working so I can spend my lunch break biking around town.

Anybody got an extra ¥75,100 + proxy fees laying around?

I picked up some Surface to Air made in Japan raws at the consignment store for $15. I honestly haven’t heard much of anything about the brand, neither good nor bad, but so far I’m liking them. This is some seriously hairy denim though, which I think is going to lead to more intense fading and vertical falling. I’m looking forward to breaking these in and seeing how they develop.

Thrifted band of outsiders shirts now = 2.

What I want to know is why don’t these shirts include spare buttons? If I’m paying $280 for a shirt I damn well better get an extra button. Or maybe all the extra buttons are broadcast live from a plywood room inside a Parisian gallery.

I don’t have the luxury of walking into a retailer with the intention of purchasing a new wardrobe. I’ve been slowly upgrading on the cheap over the past few years with occasional splurges. By being patient, persistent and using varying methods I’ve been able to do this while paying off debts and building a healthy savings account.

This outfit was put together using the four best methods I’ve encountered.

1) ebay: Brunello Cucinelli sport coat. I keep an RSS feed (RIP google reader) for low “Buy It Nows” for Cucinelli. This coat cost less than a JCP on sale.

2) Consignment stores: Michael Bastian sport shirt. If you’ve been spending too much time on the Internet looking at #menswear chances are you know more about new brands than many consignment shop owners do. This was from a store that sells RLPL for $90+ and was simply marked, “shirt: $15”

3) Marshall’s / TJ Maxx: These Luciano Barbera trousers were originally some amount I can’t afford to spend on one pair of pants. They then went to Marshall’s where they went from $200 all the way down to final mark down at $40.

4) thrift stores: Polo Ralph Lauren bluchers. I mostly just go to one thrift store on my commute after work, and by being persistent there I’ve been rewarded by getting high quality (Charvet, Band of Outsiders, Rag & Bone) at low prices. It’s taken a long time though.

So yeah, if you’re a few rungs down the ladder from Voxsart it’s a good idea to switch up your methods.

Spring raincoat in the works. I’m finally getting around to waxing this United Arrows cotton trench with a paraffin / beeswax mixture. This is …. Much messier than I anticipated.

I’ve never owned a pair of loafers until now. They’re a type of shoe I’ve liked on others but for whatever reason when the perspective changes and I look down at my feet they seem quite … dainty. Well, I found a pair of bench made English tassel loafers for $11.99 so I’m going to finally try loafers.

I just got my jeans back from the shop after blowing out the crotch. My state of confusion as to what to wear on the weekend while these were out of commission cannot be overstated.
