The Homebody

An old Sero shirt from an old store in Swampscott, Massachusetts...
...an old regimental stripe bow tie by Rivetz of Boston...

...and an old suit from The Andover Shop. 100% real 1960s American traditional clothing, picked up 50 years hence at Boston area thrift shops. Good as new.

All of these things were made, sold and stayed in the same twenty mile radius all this time. For a guy who is raising his children in the house where he was raised, where his mother has lived since his grandparents bought the place in 1965, when these clothes were new, that's kind of heart-warming.

And all you young guys thought you made up this "buy local, buy green" stuff....
