Bow ties will never be brag worthy for SW&D, no matter the brand.


Really? Seems exactly the kind of thing you counter-cultural hipsters would be after.

OK, so maybe that last one is gratuitous, but you have to admit: He's a serious pimp.

EDIT: Before I start Thread War Three, I'm kidding guys. Chill.

Rag & Bone and Billy Reid should never be in the same sentence as Jil and Raf.
In the same sentence, huh? Hmmm...

^^ Deets on the Vietnam era stuff? Been after a pair of jungle boots for a long time. Had a pair of og issue jungle boots a long time ago. Have no idea what happened to them. Picked up a cheapie pair from the army surplus store a couple years later and they literally fell apart within a year.

Nat, what size shoe are you? Not vietnam era, but I have a pair of black Bellevue military boots with steel toes, size 12 I think. I got them from the BX when I worked on a military base. If your interested, let me know and I'll send them over.

What does this mean? It freaks me out. It vaguely reminds me of this guy:
I actually don't really have a good grasp why the mustache, the big frame glasses, and the bow tie. Maybe there's a story here or it means something. But I'm not into hipster culture so I don't understand the symbolism here. Maybe it's just for looks. Maybe it looks cute and the dudes get chicks who dig that sort of stuff. The length some guys will go for purrrssy. Maybe looking like that makes you more sophisticated without having to say anything. Posers.

Take a walk around Wicker Park here in Chicago, those kinds of dudes are always with the hottest chicks. I don't get it myself. That and the work-wear crowd. :facepalm:

Hahaha, I just sold a lot of 45 ties on the bay that I picked up early in my thrifting career and never wore, so I though I needed some more. :embar:
