I just donated about 50 pieces two days ago. Good tax write off and giving back to your fellow man. Not like I was going to wear my 38x30 levis ever again. They'll go to some nice fatboy.
Yeah from time to time, more when I was married - I also buy from thrift stores - I'm not too proud for retro. I like some retro things - I may go to one Friday. [Reply]

The cheapass ones have shitty lenses. The more expensive ones may as well but if you want decent sunglasses that are actually good for being outside they cost more. [Reply]

Can't be slim fit as those don't fit my shoulders well.
Check out Bugatchi. Great patterns and materials, and the bottom is cut for wearing untucked. [Reply]
I like Polo Denim & Supply - Although some of that label is bad right now on ebay - but this one is nice, I think.

I see Bugatchi is found at Nordstroms? I can't order online, I have to try on. Prices range from high $20 to over $150! Looks a bit expensive for my taste but good looking stuff.
My other problem is I used to live where I wore jeans for 9 months of the year, so wearing different types of shirts wasn't an issue. Now I live where I wear shorts 9 months out of the year. It's hard to find shirts that are more casual but not a t-shirt, that don't look like you are trying to hard, because well, you are wearing shorts! [Reply]

I'm leaning towards picking up some Wolverines as well. Maybe Red Wings.
If you are looking for a quality boot with a slightly lower price tag, check out Chippewa. [Reply]

The Wolverine 1000 mile boots are a really great boot and great looking. In the American-made boot fan community, the Red Wing Heritage series have a better reputation, though.
Both of those boots (the 1000 mile and Red Wing heritage) are more expensive than the regular offerings from the companies. They're both American made and of better quality as well, though. [Reply]
