Barbour Jacket

I got my Barbour jacket yesterday and it is AWESOME! My new favorite jacket. Light enough for Fall days in Texas... heavy enough to layer and be warm on the coldest days. Now all I have to do is figure out if I want Barbour to reproof it (rewax the exterior surface).

Allen Edmond Shoed for $50

I am convinced that ebay is the only way to buy $400+ shoes. Grab these for $50 off ebay. Practically new!

Near Purchase of a Filson hunting jacket

Nearly bought this Filson jacket for $145 at Sierratradingpost.com. Beautiful jacket, great for fall hunts, but decided against it.

New Used Barbour Jacket

I have been looking for a Barbour for a while and found one I couldn't resist. I paid more than I wanted to because it was in pounds... damn British... but I think I will own this one for the rest of my life. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it is a 38 and I usually wear a 39 or 40. Crossing my fingers.

Project for the Semester

So, I have posted my 4 boards for the semester. I did well, according to my Prof., but my "conceptual underpinnings" weren't as developed. In other words, in architecture school they expect you to come of with some narrative that explains your project, OR... complete crap.

An example would be, "I envision my project as the overlapping of layers, both functional and programmatic, which can be seen in the approach I took to form, but also to materials."

My response... G-G-G- GAY

I was just interested in planar elements... actually obsessed. Planes floating over the horizon with nothing holding them up. But, that isn't conceptual enough. Sounds pretty conceptual to me.

Bow Ties Anyone?

I ordered 2 bow ties yesterday from The Cordial Chruchman. Hand-made in the USA for $26. Can't beat that price.

Summer Shoes?

I purchased these shoes at an estate sale of a gentleman who was a lawyer nearly 3 months ago for something like $15 (maybe less). However, they pinched my toes a little. Thus, I ordered a shoe stretcher.

Now, they are stretched! Sockless for the summer, of course.
