Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I look at my tie rack. And I think, ‘Should I wear a tie?’ Because I don’t want to wear a tie. But I have all these nice ties. And you have to decide whether you’re going to wear a tie before you pick your shirt, you know, because some shirts don’t really work with ties. But you have to also sort of know the color of the shirt you’ll end up with so you know what tie would go with it. So I’m looking at the ties, thinking I don’t necessarily want to wear one of these, but also thinking about which shirt would go well with the tie I don’t want to wear. And it’s kind of dark because it’s the morning and I get this feeling that there’s maybe a tie that I would want to wear hidden behind all these other ties that are sort of meh. So I’m basically paralyzed. Anyway, in these moments I used to feel terribly, horribly alone. But then came 2006, and with it menswear blogging. And now, with this oral history, I have learned that not only am I not alone, but also people are making a living having the same thoughts I have from 7:58 to 7:59 a.m. every morning.
- Vanity Fair’s oral history of the time they read the oral history of menswear blogging. A pretty hilarious read. (Also, he should pick a navy grenadine tie. It goes with almost everything.)
So perfectly true.

Yesterday I lucked out in a local suit shop. They had a bin full of ties and pocket squares that were old stock. I walked away with all this for $11. Huzzah!
Raw
I’ve been sitting here for thirty minutes thinking of things to write about raw denim.
I decided to keep it nice and simple.
Don’t buy distressed jeans.
Invest in raw denim, it’ll last you forever-ish.
I had the opportunity this week to get my hands on a pair of raw denim jeans for next to nothing. They’re a very interesting brand/concept call The Unbranded Denim. I’m planning on wearing them for six months without them even knowing water and laundry detergent exist. If you’re curious about more denim things, go see the fellows at Put This On and watch season one’s first episode. You’ll be happy you did.
