I finally get to document a vintage warehouse for you guys, with plenty of phone, film, and DSLR pics for you to enjoy. We also wore a bunch of good fits, if you like that sort of thing.

I don’t really write profiles on stores (The Bloke kinda counts, RIP), but this place deserves one, since it’s probably the longest lasting one I frequent and thoroughly enjoy visiting.

SadCast Show Notes: On Casual Shirts
Spencer and I bring you a podcast recorded before quarantine happened, and its all about casual shirts! And by casual shirts, I mean nearly all of them: sportshirts, OCBDs, polos, workshirts and westerners.
We hope you enjoy!
Having Fun With Workshirts & Westerners
I thought I was done after I filled my closet with spearpoints, OCBDS, and sportshirts. “What else could there be that I could wear”, I asked myself.
The answer lies in this long blog post. And yes, these new shirts fit in perfectly with my style.
