Vintage Velvet Blazer LVC tee Sansabelt Polo Nettleton safety toe longwings I think this fit would work better with slimmer pants. Next time! As some of you may recall my brewery was hit by a tornado on Father's Day, June 20th of this year. As you can imagine, dealing with landlords, various property owners, government agencies, and insurance has been quite the labyrinthine process for my employers. But I can finally offer a little update. Now that the structural integrity of the building has been secured we were able to open a tiny area in an relatively undamaged part of the brew house to serve guests and elsewhere cosmetic and internal repairs have finally begun. We are still looking at next March or April at the earliest to be fully back up to speed but it was such a huge relief to be back at it this weekend pouring beers for our community. Friday night: And a few shots from last June for context:

Sorry for the terrible lighting. Pearls Zoe Karssen bat sweatshirt Timex Indigo/pink 501 STF Polo Vans pro slip (How about that new The Batman trailer, huh? )

Yes, Thornton Distillery in Thornton Illinois. Highly recommended!

Wedding fun last weekend at a haunted distillery in suburban Chicago that was once a bootlegging hub owned by Al Capone. The last few shots are of the creepy underground limestone well that provides the perfect water for whiskey.

After meeting the tailor at the newly opened Levi's store near me, I decided to finally alter the leg on my STF 501s from the knee down to more closely match one of my vintage pairs with a strong taper. Only took them in about an inch but I'm absolutely loving the fit now.

CONGRATULATIONS ! Enjoy every second...it goes so fast!

Trying out something different for yet ANOTHER wedding coming up next month. "Freak of Nature" shirt by Prettysnake, print designed by Julian Farmar Bowers (Trousers and shoes are just place holders for now...maybe?)

@Flash Just read up on them. I love it!

What are those sneaks @Flash?

Sunday morning breakfast with my little goth weeb after another epic wedding last night. Was having too much fun for a proper fit pic. Needed a sleeker profile so I broke out my vintage Johnston and Murphy Mastercraft cap toe oxfords. At one point the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, a misguided impromptu post bachelor party hike years ago necessitated a rebuild which was sadly done with substandard replacement soles, destroying the fit and utility of the shoes. They have never been the same and are now relegated to only special events. And yes, I wore socks this time Bonus picture of the oxfords during the ill fated sole destroying hike, circa 2009. R.I.P.

It looks like this Reliance Guideboat co was started by the founder of Restoration Hardware as an upscale competitor to J Crew, Land End, Polo etc. Webstore is still active but all retail shops closed a few years back. Make some nice but pricey pieces.

Lots of faded indigo pics today...

Look at those sleeve combs!

Thanks everyone. The Osees were fantastic! (and very very loud!) Had to change into my eyeball tee (I love visual puns) for the show. P.S. The boots didn't hurt too much!

2 inches. Definitely bigger than I'm used to. I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow but I'm willing to suffer for my art!
