Alden Indy vs. Red Wing Iron Ranger

Alden Indy Boot

Red Wing Iron Ranger

Which should be on my list for Fall? You be the judge.

Quote Me

Style is not fashion. Style is a way of living that is unique. It shapes the clothes we wear, the things we say, our possessions, our friends. It is a birthright passed from one generation to another, but always influenced by personal decisions and consequences. And there are consequences...

Refined: Wardrobe

A Navy Blazer (Blazer... not Sportcoat). Yes, this picture is of a sportcoat and not a "blazer"

Barbour Bedale Jacket (Great for Cooler Weather and Rainy Fall Days)

A Few Oxford Shirts (White, Blue, and Optional Color)... I have been leaning towards two brands-- Brooks Brothers Extra Slim (on Sale for around $40-$60) and Land's End Canvas (Also on Sale for around $20)

Watch (Preferably Automatic, Less than $200, and Used by Some Country's Military Previously)

Flask (Please Practice Flaskmanship... The Guy with the Flask is Both the Enemy of Some and the Best Friend of Many)

Handkerchief (For the Ladies, Wiping Your Hands After Slaying the Beasts or Fixin' Something, or Opening Doors When Leaving the Boys' Room)

Wallet (Leather... not nylon)

Dark and Heavy Jeans (Brand is Your Choice)

Alden or Allen Edmond Brogues

Red Wing 1178s

Refined Series

I often long for simplicity in my life. Unfortunately, I am naturally predisposed to collecting, or, as I like to call it, curating.

As such, I am going to start another series along with "Quote Me" called "Refined." I will choose a handful of items within each category, which would be the items I would start all over with if I was starting from the beginning. These will not be exhaustive lists, but they will be a refined view of the necessities. I will probably also add on to them as I find more things... damn, that's the curator in me.

Refined: Kitchen

One or Two Knives from Cut Brooklyn

Pepper Mill in a Light Colored Wood (ash?)

Linen Kitchen Towels

Cast Iron Skillet (well seasoned is a must!)

Canning Jars Used for Spices

Le Creuset Stock Pot in Classic Orange
