Getting High on My Own Supply

Sorting through the unsold goods from the Top Shelf Flea, I ran across this somehow forgotten gem:

A nice looking tan jacket, featuring the perfect hybrid of Anglo and Northeast Traditional elements: natural shoulders and a high lapel gorge with a two button darted front; precise tailoring with just the right amount of laid back, East Coast American slouch...

All of it rendered in beautiful silk shantung herringbone. It's a little dingy, but nothing a good dry cleaning can't freshen up...

From the venerable old Chipp of New York and New Haven. It may seem at times that being up in Boston the thrift shops are awash in J. Press, Brooks Brothers and Andover Shop goods, but a fine piece from Chipp is always a rare and special treat. Fits like a glove...don't know why I ever tried to sell it,good thing nobody bought it from me.

p.s. the Shop has been fully revamped with new items for warm weather. Check it out. I promise that the next post will contain absolutely no shameless commercialism ...I hope.

My Office

Known as the "dining room" by the rest of family, on a busy week it looks like this:

We do in fact eat at this table...occasionally. But this is a far more common site. I used to work in the basement, but I find the atmosphere in the house proper to be far more cozy.

p.s. a busy week for me is good news for you. All the items pictured, and more, are available in the Shop. Items from Chipp, Polo, Brooks Brothers, and J. Press. A ton of ties, tennis sweater, vintage suits, shoes and more. Check it out.
