Retail Traffic is one of my favorite Retail Blogs. It's where I get the dirt on who is closing next, plus it has tons of insight regarding real estate strategy.

Merona Ultimate Polo Lives up to its Name

I've seen a lot of polo's in the last few weeks and Target's Merona Ultimate Polo for $14.99 lives up to its name. I'm voting it my favorite. Gap, J. Crew, and the department stores are selling their polo's $25 and up for similiar or lesser quality.

When I look at a polo shirt I make sure the collar and sleeve cuffs colors match the pique body, the placket is straight and the fit is reasonable.

If you want the distressed polo look, simply take a file to a couple of the corners then wash it a few times with your denim.

The Ultimate Torture is a Glow Amp with No Speakers

I took the plunge and bought a new sound system. I owned the typical black box stack set up from Sony and lets face it, its boring looking and I was getting tired of surround sound. Music coming from all corners of the room became tiresome. I decided to go in a different direction and purchased Glow Audio's amp and speaker system. I can only tell you the amp and sub woofer are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and not yet to the ears, because the speakers are back ordered. It's killing me to have the amp and letting it sit silent....

Retail is Tough

Sorry I've been so busy at work lately and had no time to blog....

I'm not the hunting type, but I love this vest from J. L. Powell.

Waxed Canvas is one of my favorite fabrics, because of its durability and the handsome patina waxed canvas acquires with wear.

I own an original wax canvas Timbuk2 messenger bag from 1999. Ok, at this point this bag has a little more than a patina, but it's still going strong in semi-retirement.

Just so you know, I'm the type who would be waiting in line for a cup of Café Corretto wearing this vest.
