I’ve been a fan of Randolph Engineering sunglasses ever since I saw them on all plaidout. When a company holds military contracts you know construction and durability won’t be a question. With prices ranging from $99-170 these sunglasses are tough to beat. Needless to say, I was more than elated when the kind folks from Massachusetts sent me over a pair of Thief Baits.
23kt gold finish, polarized lenses, skull temples. These sunglasses are legit enough for you to partake in an oddly sexual volleyball match in jeans with your fellow fighter pilots.
Even the maintenance gear is really nice.
I figure one can’t go wrong with the teardrop shape and though I’ve never owned gold sunglasses before, I’m quite taken with these. There’s a heft and sturdiness to these glasses that sets them apart.
Like a good gun, a solid pair of sunglasses will protect you and impress girls. Sunglasses have the added benefit of giving you something to fidget with when the girl actually comes over to talk to you.
Can’t go wrong with a pair of Spring Courts. Saturdays has a great run of color ways and has ‘em at a decent price. Vans are amazing, but sometimes it’s nice to have something a little different.
I’ve been running around in warriors most of this summer and the Spring Courts’ thick soles are a welcome relief. Those air vents help take the pain out of the 6 blocks you walked out of your way because she was headed in ‘the same direction’.
my stuff-thrift store finds
I’ve been going to antique stores, thrift shops, and garage sales since I can remember. When I was little it was all about cool toys or army stuff. In high school it was finding the most obscure, non sequitur t-shirt. Now it’s furniture, found objects, and outerwear.
I found these shirts and sweater at a local thrift store. The key to thrift stores is knowing the neighborhood. If you’re looking for outdoor gear, go where people hunt. If it’s blazers and repp ties, go to a neighborhood where people brunch.
Wrangler single needle. Made in the US too. I’ll probably wear it as a shirt jacket, although if I’m feeling extra magnanimous it may go to my best friend who is taller than me.
Camouflage-boys love it girls are confused and troubled by it. I have a feeling in a few seasons girls will be rocking camo (“It’s like the new leopard, yo.”) and dudes will be going for floral prints.
Love the striping on one arm. Thom Browne x Moncler who?
A lot like the Wrangler shirt above, but this one’s a nice soft flannel. Perfect for throwing on over an oxford and some jeans.
So go out and wade through those bowling shirts and ‘World’s Greatest Grandpa’ t-shirts. There are some hidden gems out there.
