I’m haven’t used mine for picking guavas yet, but I’m starting to be a fan of this shirt!  It’s like a great mix between a chore coat and a sport shirt!

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Ethan M. Wong

If you thought that we were done with that 80’s douche look, you were wrong. We’re going all in, baby!
