  2. I do not, but I recently purchased some Maui Jim sunglasses and it has shifted my mindset on sunglasses in a big way. The lenses are so clear, with so much contrast, that wearing my old sunglasses now feels like I'm looking through a foggy haze. They were more expensive than TBD glasses, and the frames aren't as chonky as thick acetate but the lenses... man. I purchased some from a grey market dealer for $218 pre tax instead of $400. ( jomashop dot com). Will never buy a pair of sunglasses again that don't prioritize lenses, unless they're for mucking around. Other mid tier recommendations if you care about lenses would be Serengeti (part of Bolle). Not sure where Serengeti is made but my MJs were made in Japan.
  3. Does anyone have any idea how small of a production run this actually is? I live ten mins away from the Pasadena Civic Center and am rather taken by the cotton duck pieces.... but wouldn't be able to get to Inspiration til the Saturday.
  4. I really like SS, but surprised they made these in SS, honestly. My oldest pair of SS are aging nicely and has a surprising amount of puckering, but just seems like the wrong denim for a 1937. Red Cast already have them but $300. Feel like that means closer to $400+ in the U.S. based on previous pricing of other models.

  6. Thanks guys. William sent me a really helpful reply to a couple of questions but they aren't gonna work for me from a measurement perspective.
  7. Dang, @ATWM and @julian-wolf making me want a pair of those Tenders. I am in the market for some new glasses. What is the lens quality like? Very much settled on Goodr glasses for hiking/running/cycling but need something nice for casual. Having lived in England for the first 25 years of life, glasses and a cap were never needed. But out here, man. Very much a necessity.
  8. My much younger sister also did both of those locations in those years and is doing Snowdonia in the summer! But she goes to an all girls school so unlikely they know each other. Maybe they crossed paths!
  9. I got lost on my bronze award back in.. god... 2006? My group left our parents waiting at a church in the Surrey Hills for about 5 hours. I get why, but not allowing kids to take a phone with them was stupid from an emergency perspective. Its not like you could do anything with a Sony Ericsson in 2006 anyway!
  10. Unusually hot day for March so no jeans here. Laws railroad museum Brother Brother x2 Aurora Shoe Co
  11. Food for thought. Thanks everyone. Ended up ordering some dark brown suede ivy loafers from Morjas. For sure wearable with more than just a suit which is what I wanted. Would've liked the Drake's Charles loafer in dark brown suede but too rich for my blood.
  12. All fair points @ATWM - it’d be less about trying to dress jeans up - I agree that looks a bit shit - and more just leaning into wearing a pair of loafers very casually. and yeah, I’ve had some AE tassel loafers before and they were great. Gonna go check out their factory section right now. I struggle with loafers though - 95% of them are so ugly.
  13. Not a brogue guy anymore unfortunately. Have a pair of Trickers x Engineered Garments brogues and not my vibe. Similarly, spending several hundreds of dollars on one time a year shoes just doesn’t make sense to me. I had a pair of Color 8 shell Alden Long Wings and some Moc Bluchers. They both went well with jeans or a suit, but too small… Good shout on Moto @julian-wolf - this is just the kind of thing versatility I was hoping for. Their #2510 and #2511 - or something similar - would work perfectly.
