You need to thrift old Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren pique polos for cheap. They’re the perfect summer shirt if you live somewhere that gets really hot.

Trust me they’re not any warmer than the t-shirt you’d wear instead.
They’re really durable and because you thrifted them for a few bucks you can sweat in them and really beat them up without really caring.

The perfect summer shirt for just running around town with the wife and kids

Disappointed to report that the Spier and Mackay paper chinos didn’t pass the fit test. The rise is great but the leg is too tight. Still on the hunt for a pair of lightweight chinos

Both of these are 30% off on J.Crew’s site right now. I own both and they’re great. If you’re in the market for an alternative to your stone chino shorts or need a great fall/winter pant these fit the bill.

Scooped these up for $30 when Sperry had their big sale last month. These definitely aren’t a pair I’ll wear very often, but for $30 it felt like a must. They’re definitely not anywhere close to a formal shoe but they’ll be a nice pair to add some juice to a casual outfit on the water.

Just found a Brooks Brothers pique polo at the local thrift store for $5. The bottom of the sleeves has a tiny bit of wear you’d never notice unless you were inspecting the shirt but otherwise in great condition. Complete steal.

The perfect shirt to throw on to run some quick errands in the summer

Tying together a couple recent posts. The shirt I wore yesterday is a pink PRL Yarmouth OCBD that I bought second hand for $30. It doesn’t have a single blemish and I doubt it’d been worn more than a handful of times.

If you like a fuller shirt like I do you can find the Yarmouth cut all over the place for next to nothing. Buying a few these is a great way to build out your OCBD bullpen and you can do it for less than $100.

Leaned back on the front porch with a Nic Nac up top and a cold beverage in hand. I can hear the college baseball game coming through the open window.

Mid day heat has finally rolled out and the sun is not far behind it. We’re winding down a great weekend nice and easy

Today’s church threads. Probably the last morning cool enough to have some fun with layers for a minute.

While I took this picture @MartyBent was droning through the entire Constitution in the background while @ODELL and I checked out.

Enjoy your Sunday night. Back to the mines in short order.
