Shit… Too bad, mate!..

Minor inconvenience really, it's not like I struggle to find things to spend money on

@Megatron1505:

New leather jacket arrives….miles too big and is now going back tomorrow 

Sorry to hear

I'm sick of vegans and vegetarians trying to shame me into their diets. Look, I get it, misery loves company. But what you don't understand is that, even if I thought eating animals was in any way wrong, you can't shame someone who has no shame. Take your crusade elsewhere.

Amen.

Religion is the same way for me in the South. I live in the "Bible Belt" and unless you thank God about everything you must be evil. It's insane

Where do you live Bags?  I grew up in the buckle of the Bible Belt, Mississippi

Mclain I've lived in monasteries where the head roshi ate steak. Was a head-feck when I joined, but it's all about intent and honouring of life, not what specific things you eat/don't eat.

North Carolina, home of Billy Graham, enough said

I do source my meat from suppliers who treat the beasts humanely.  I care about animals and sustainability.  I also care about health and science, and all the Forks Over Knives stuff that has reinvigorated the vegan choir is selective pseudoscience at its best; reminiscent of global warming denier cherry-picked "science."  And just as tiring and pointless as those arguments.

So, to expand my rant, I hate when people start with a conclusion, and then arrange all the facts to support that conclusion.  In other words, working exactly backwards from the scientific method.

You just perfectly described my every day at work.

Red IHSH-16 doesn't fit. Adam: PM'ing you when I'm home.

DAMN IT!

[mclaincausey]

Not to rub it in, but my SS 16 is my favorite chambray fabric of all time.  I needs me a long sleeve version, LMK if that deal falls through some how.

[Seul]

Oh no worries: my khaki 16 in one size up works like a charm

What do you guys think about wearing a nice black blazer with raw denim or pants, and a plain tee? Is it casual enough to wear to college, bars, out shopping etc.

I don't own any blazers but I am tempted to buy one.

[mclaincausey]

I saw a compelling one yesterday from Engineered Garments that would work with that well. I think unstructured is best there.

[tatmantall]

personally i think a dark navy blazer is a more versatile blazer and suitable for a dressed down look. By the "rules" it goes with everything except black so i guess IF you live by the rules then it would depend upon your footwear and color shirts you are planning to wear. just my 2 cents

I have a Loro Piana wool one that's awesome, but it has the traditional nautical brass buttons. I really need to switch em out for horn or something.
