I like to make movies and wear fun clothes. Sometimes I take pictures with my Fuji X100T. I drink coffee and watch racing.

Objectively great analysis from Derek Guy as always, but now I’m curious to know who “Tailor on Tap” is, because slapping Roger Stone’s name on your unknown brand seems like a bad move.
Yesterday, Roger Stone announced his partnership with a menswear company, where together they've released a collection of tailored clothing items.

Here is my review of those pieces. 🧵

I got an Amber Alert on my phone last night telling me to look out for a registered sex offender driving a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. Great, I thought, even a registered sex offender has a newer car than me.

Don’t talk to me about this until the US government subsidizes an airline like most other nation states.
"It honors our country."

Yeah, the thing that's going to bring America back to its glory days is me showing up for my Frontier Airlines flight in a tux.

US Government to my ancestor who served in WWII: Thanks for helping us defeat fascism, you never need to be working-class again.

US Government to me: Congratulations, we found a new way for you to be working-class. Also, we’re the fascists now.

Is French Ivy like pornography? Like, you can’t define it, but you know it when you see it? I really don’t know what it is, I think it has something to do with black loafers and red socks.

Call me a lefty, but the “old money”vintage clothes trend is just latent hostility towards the 1%. We’re upset they have no style despite their resources, so we label $50 tweed coats as “old money” as a commentary on how we think they should look, because supervillains should have more self respect

Of all the big coat styles, the Loden Coat is my favorite because of the killer A-line vent up the back. It’s an amazing detail and makes for an excellent drape with a lot of freedom of movement. I was able to fish my wallet out of my back pocket without unbuttoning

If the Catholic Church wants to capture some market share in SLC, they’ll have to counter-program against the LDS church in a big way, and this might be the energy they need.
He said "Amen" straight into the drop

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

JACK DONAGHY: Lemon, Don Geiss is telling me we need to find a way to make Jenna appeal to the [strained air quotes with fingers] "youth" demographic, maybe a song?

The scalp massager is the airport gift shop equivalent of heroin. You try it once in the store, it feels so good, you buy it, but then it’s never as good again.

I had these senior cords made in May when I graduated from Duke, but it hasn’t been senior cords weather until now.

Day 4 of 4: Today I started with a full English country look. A khaki wool Norfolk suit with brogue boots, tattersall shirt, and motif tie. Then I dressed it up a little with the dress hat, and dressed it down a little with the M65.

Day 3 of 4: Sort of French Ivy meets First Blood. The multitude of layers allow for a lot of good color combinations: green/white, black/white, navy/white, navy/green, navy/lightblue

Day 2 of 4: Matching belt and shoes is cool, but what about matching socks and hat? I’ve been a purple sock Stan for years but just recently became a purple hat Stan.

Four Days of the Field Jacket. The M65 softens an otherwise full cowboy look for a cold fall day.

Go to any film festival and you’ll see all the entertainment industry gatekeepers dressed the same, like Larry David: sneakers, jeans, tee shirt, suit jacket, and baseball cap from some long forgotten project.

Remember in 2014 when it was impossible to watch F1 in the US because it was gatekept by UBS? We’re back to that for next year, I guess. If the cars really are as shit as some drivers have reported, maybe it’s for the best.
