I still can't ever watch American Beauty again. When that 16 year old girl took off her clothes in the window, I felt like a creepy old man.

Been silly dry lately and I haven’t been getting out nearly as much but had a little time to kill after grabbing lunch today and found these.

90s Wu Wear, pop on Sunspel, Polo Soort, vintage ringer that was cool but I’m not sure what it’s for.

Those stores are a mystery. Original thriftening was at one of those, so be sure to stop back.

Hey Spoo, you getting royalties for this?

For people who have Talize thrift stores, how is it pronounced? When I see y’all post those tags, I read it like the drink Alize. ‘AL-uh-zay’

Is that right or is it pronounced another way?

 

[dadjeans]

Tah-leaze unfortunately. Even Tuh-leaze if the employee is particularly lazy/sloppy/guttural.

Would be so much cooler if it was tal-uh-zay

A few days ago i flund a pair of striped Oxxford pants at my local GW, no **** serious as **** yesterday i found the jacket at the bins. Super old with lots of shoulder padding but what the ****? Why did it get separated? Only issue i saw as the lining at the vent was coming undone. That scares me, cuz if that was kiton that would have been a fantastic score even with damage

Moo,so I'm not sure if you have been to the 416 before.
First and foremost ,I know it's a cliche thing to do but hit up the CN tower and the 360 restaurant at the top.
Good food and see the city with one stroke.

If not hit up Panorama,used to be my go to first date place.
Make sure you get on the elevator last,so you're the first one out.the elevator only has one stop and it's the restaurant .
Also you can ogle some awesome audio stuff at Bay Bloor radio,it's in the same tower.

If you want meat,Barbarians steak house.
Trust me,but it aint cheap.

Also good for steaks ,Keg at The Mansion.
Yeah it's a Keg steak house but it's Ina cool historic building.

For something casual Hemingways in Yorkville.
It's Russel Crowes go to when in Toronto.
Awesome heated patio.
It's where Crowe infamously got into a drunk scuffle with his bodyguard.

Lastly for a sure thing Canoe Restaurant.
I've only been once but it was very good.

Ps you're close to Spadina,pretty much stacked with great Chinese food places.

Hope that helps .

My anecdotal observations suggest that anything with a / from Hugo Boss is a suit

The stitching in the button hole is brown to match the buttons - seems unlikely in a suit?

Hell yeah brother. I’m there for work but will definitely try to fit some of the stuff in after in the evenings. Thanks a lot!
