Vintage French Work Shirt

This one is rather new. I just got this piece at Quality Mending Co in NYC this weekend. I had a similar one (It was an Italian work shirt, I think) and liked that so much. $68 is not bad, not cheap though. The detail I like is the thin material (good for late spring/summer) and the pockets. Can be a good travel jacket.

L.L. Bean tote bag

This is the classic summer bag. Nothing can be compared with this simplicity and versatility. The mid size is good for me.

 

J press x Urban Outfitters shorts

I am not such a great fan of UO, but this collaboration was nicely done. Camo shorts with narrow leg opening are rare and actually nice.

 

Brooks Pure Flow

These are for my run. My Nike just retired after 4 year service. I got a blister when running 4 mile race, but now my feet are getting used to its shape. Hope it will work out.

 

Mr Freedom's P coat

I got this at J Crew three month ago or so, but did not have a chance to wear this winter.

I know almost 600 bucks for a denim coat is ridiculous, but could not resist. Made In Japan of course was one of the reasons, but not all. The craftsmanship and details nailed it.

 

Maratac Mid size pilot watch

This watch, is rather new. Just got this a week ago. My Explorer needs maintenance now so I needed a one for spare. The simple face and price tag really attracted me and made a quick decision. Not perfect, but a 195 dollar watch, I can't think of anything better.

 

Nike Old Sneaker for My Run

This post is to remember my first marathon on last Sunday. I ran with this pair. This is old. I've been running and jogging with this for almost 5 years. It is considered too long for a running shoes since the cushion of soles is deteriorated. I tried to changed to a new one, but I've always got problems like blisters, ankle pain, etc...

So I ended up running 26 miles with this old one and did not have any serious problem (forget about a small one it's 26 miles). 3:41. Do you now call me a runner?

 

Allen Edmonds suede brogue

This pair was the first shoes I bought in the U.S. when I started living here 5 years ago. 250 or something. Allen Edomonds might be a secondary option next to Alden for men's shoe maniacs, but they are just different and did a decent job IMHO.The shoes are quite versatile and best rainy-day dress shoes.

 

Tods slip on

Another summer shoe. I am not that into Italian shoes which are easy to wear but not necessarily durable.

That said, In summer, we all usually appreciate such characteristics anyway. Seems I need to polish this piece before summer...got these 6 years ago, somewhere in Italy.

 

Brooks Brothers Made-to-measure Shirts

I have been a great fan of BB Oxford shirts for almost a decade. Their made to measure shirts are 50 percent of my business shirts (and 40 is BB's ready to wear...). I keep these three as inventory for the time when my older ones are worn. But all of the shirts are so durable that I don't need to replace them for. Years.
