I’ve been looking for a new ball cap and they even have 25% more off the price you have listed. I bought two!
I have that Esquire style handbook. It’s really useful, though filled with ‘suggestions’ I won’t follow. Sorry, I like white jeans, Esquire.
It gives some details about the histories of many different types of garments. Interesting stuff.
The problem with the ballcap is that it has been frayed. I detest that. If there is one thing that I hate is it is distressing new clothes to give a faux-lived in look.
Particularly, fraying. It is the worst.
@Tim: Ah. I didn’t notice. Dang… agreed on pre-fraying. But, it is just $13… some will deal with it.
I like how you threw in the six pack and the booze in both lists. That never disappoints.
I have that same umbrella you have linked to Macys Website. I found mine at Walgreens drug store earlier this season, and have used it close to a dozen times. works well, plenty of room for you and your lady underneath. oh and i found it for 11 dollars instead of 16 ^_^
