Its always the basics that keep this guy satisfied.

Some washed chinos, a button up shirt, and a nice pair of shoes. Sid Mashburn’s shop in Atlanta (which is the only shop other than Context that I hear about people planning their whole day around) has gotten a fresh delivery of the goods which continue to tempt the wallet…Even a paisley pop-over!

A big thanks Erik Schedin for sending these my way. These are the most perfect tennis shoes, not too heavy or flashy and will look great over time. Flip the Beach Boys LP I’m outta here.…
