1. NTB. Heading to South Beach for a long weekend with the old lady. I'm a beer and beard kind of guy and fear that my footwear might not measure up. I've already been told to leave my boots at home. You have any suggestions for kicks that will get me in the club without making me look like a d-bag from Nantucket?

    You know that whole “when in Rome…” maxim?  Well, I’m guessing no one ever told you the rest of it, but it goes a little something like this: “when in Rome, pretend like you’re from Milan—it’s closer in proximity than America, so you won’t end up looking totally clueless, and it will afford you the opportunity to steez the fuck out.” 

    I’m from the beer-and-beard ilk myself, and when I’m posting up in a beach town, I like to rock a strong pair of loafers.  And if that’s still giving you the douche chills, I also holler at blue suede wingtips.  Whatever you do, don’t wear socks.

  2. Ok so I was on the internet this one time, and somehow I got linked to this pea coat. I can't find it again, but it was navy blue and had a really bizarre collar. The only way I could describe it would be to say that it was a shawl collar with notches (and maybe even peaks, though that could have just been the way it was folded). I think it was in the 600$-700$ range. Thanks. Also: I <3 u, ntb. nevr 4get.

    Your description is about as vague as asking me if I know that girl in South Beach with the fake tits and bleached hair.  But in any event, you might very well be describing this Monitaly jump off that Context Clothing has stubbornly yet to put on sale.
