Its like Pete & Re-Pete - Roy Hobbs, J.Crew & Ebbets Field Flannels
I've been thinking about The Natural a lot lately. With Redford, "wonderboy" and some epic one-liners, it may be the perfect baseball movie. My brother loved it so much that my mother actually hand-made him the Knights' jacket one Christmas. 
When I saw this over at J.Crew I forwarded it to him immediately. I have to admit I was impressed. They've been doing a few decent collabs lately, but Hobbs' NY Knights? That is just too good. However, more research led to the fact that this isn't a collaboration at all. J. Crew is just buying hats from the Ebbets Field Flannels line and charging a premium for them. Buy it direct from EFF for $20 where the crew's one will run you $40. Heck, EFF can set you up with Roy's jersey and my brother's jacket too. I wonder what J. Crew's mark up would be for those...

On the List - Needlepoint Slippers
Tintin's skiers have got me on the trail. These are pretty great but the price tag and lack of school/regiment affiliation are prohibitive. If I could find a pair in cardinal and gold around $100 clams I would be set. SC kids thought I belonged in an institution when I used to show up to football games in a button down and school repp tie. Can you imagine how they'd respond to these?

13&W ebay discoveries - Grenson Dress Hikers
These are kind of like a dress version of the Danner Mountain Light. Like Mort would say, wear these tucked under the pants of your grey flannel suit for the rest of the winter and you're ahead of the game (Although I still don't understand the denim/bean boot pet peeve he has. How could you think this doesn't look great?). The auction for these UK size 10s is currently listed at $208. Good morning and good luck.

Hong Kong Trip pt. 1 - Hackett does Rugby
Our Kinkade Rugby from Fall 09
The Hackett version -release date TBD
I saw it immediately as we walked into the Chinese factory showroom. Our rugby shirt. My rugby shirt (my college colors that is). My first thought was that we don't make our rugby shirts in this factory, but Hackett does. I guess imitation is the highest form of flattery.
