Summer is yawning. Getting ready to say Goodbye. Fall is in the air...Can you feel it? The extreme heat is flying south for the winter I think. I hope.
Spent a nice week at the beach last week and have to say that after 7 days in the sun (okay 6, 1 was rainy), I love my Randolph Engineering Aviators to death. The clarity and color on these babies are incredible. If you're in the market for some real-deal, high quality shades you gotta give RE a look.
And now for a nice trip down memory lane...In the 80s, when I was teen, my family spent many a summer in Lavallette, NJ. Used to be a bakery there on Rte 35 called Kay's. I have great memories of my father returning with his morning coffee and the best FRESH jelly donuts and crumb buns. Well, 25 years later the bakery is still there (no longer Kay's, but now named Colonial) and the donuts and pastries are even better than I remember. If you're down near Lavallette, do yourself a guilty favor and pick up a dozen jelly donuts. Trust me, you'll eat 5 before you realize all the powdered sugar all over your shirt.
On a sad note, where are you Helen Folasade Adu? I expected a tour to follow the CD this year, but I guess you're keeping us waiting yet again.
Did ya see the J. Crew chambray shirt in green yet? Excuse me, I meant, DARK FERN. Found one today in real life. It's even better than the red. That's right, I just said it.
It's gonna look superb with khakis this fall.
What I'm waiting for and saving my pennies for now: J. Crew x British Millerain Woodland Jacket.
Killer. 2-3 weeks says my source.Why I keep making Mickey Drexler's pockets fat: This is how you do customer service the right way: Hello J Crew, my Alden long wings that I bought 2 months ago are just beginning to have some stitching come loose. I'm concerned.
J Crew: We're quality obsessed. Bring them to a store. Exchange them for a new pair. No questions asked.
DONE.
My son, 4 years old, got his new sneakers for school this week. They light up when he runs. He loves them, but we told him he can't wear them till school starts. So every night he goes and gets the box under his bed to check on them. Then he kisses them both goodnight. My wife thought that was so strange. As you can guess, I never handle my Aldens in front of her.
Think I'll stop now. It's 1:07am on a Wednesday night. And if I'm not up at this hour with a drink in my hand I think its time to hit the sack.
First lemme check my Indy boots under the bed...

That fern green chambray is insane. Didn't see it at the J. Crew I visited last weekend and they had a full floor of men's.
Glad to hear those RE sunglasses are working out. I gotta save my allowance to get some now that my wife has permanently borrowed 1 of the 2 sunglasses I own.
After reading the post, I don't even want to know how that thread came loose on those Alden's.
After I read this I went straight to the the Jcrew website and checked out that green chambray, I want the grey vintage chambray but am a little hesitant to throw down over a hundred bucks on a shirt, but we'll see. You're right that shirt would look nice with some khakis. Almost added it to my cart but decided to wait and ordered some other sale shirts. I ordered some Alden Indy's a few months ago, wore them a few times and they are awesome. I can't wait to throw them on in the coming weeks.
The green chambray is beyond great. Thanks for trying to make US who were unable to obtain the red chambray feel better, JB. LOL
I would still like to have the red one if ever possible. However, I am and will get this dark fern colored one... before it become a "TO GET" item. I think I'll wear it with a pair of corduroys and clark weavers.
Ps.
Good luck with the droid. I normally read your blog via my iPhone ;-)
I would kill for that green chambray. there's hardly a trace of it online these days though, and who knows if j crew will ever bring it back.
