Mine are: 1, J.Crew oxford shirt in blue/white stripe 2. Levi's 511 premium jeans 3. Clarks desert boots in beeswax 4. Darn Tough socks 5. Flint and tinder waxed jacket in coal
techwear enthusiasts salivating
Pieces: Dark wash Levis 501s, PRL OCBD, Uniqlo boxer briefs, Smartwool socks, Adidas stan smiths
Brands: PRL, Uniqlo, J. Crew, Patagonia. I'm so basic.
Every one of my waywts is made up from a combination of Army Surplus, ALD, Levis, Uniqlo, and JCrew so those
And I’ll just be barefoot since it’s desert island
is this real life?
going commando for the sake of a jacket.
Now when we say "Which 5 brands are coming with me?", does that mean like, everyone associated with the brand? I feel like that could be a wild party
1. Commonside jacket
2. KPC meta shirt
3. Meermin loafers
4. Beams Plus khaki high waters
5. underwear, i'll die if it gets cold
I’m gonna die anyways so I’m going Marni everything
At least a rescue copter is gonna be able to see me and I’ll be warm
a thick tee from Story and my Parks Project fleece to keep warm on top, some Patagonia baggies as shorts which double as a swimsuit, some Danner Mountain Lights to trek inland and harvest coconuts, and a down puffer jumpsuit for the cold nights.
plus one of these in my back pocket
Is this just fantasy?
This has been in the queue for over a week
It’s not literal
raw denim jeans, raw denim jacket. nothing else. imagine the fades!
Sun bleaching my asshole. 5 pairs of darn tough socks should keep me safe from crabs
Barbour Beaufort, Shaggy Dog, Wrangler jeans, and a coupe of OCBDs 
1. Thom Browne white linen tuxedo shirt (I bought this shirt because I adored how it billowed and today’s the day it pays off)
2. Levi’s 501 (dark wash)
3. Underwear
4. Helicopter instructions manual
5. Supreme Helicopter
merz undies, darn tough sox, iron heart flannel, iron heart jeans, rigards mad sci sun/glasses
sadly need the glasses so I can see, but you also want to plan for both chilly nights and hot days where you want to protect your skin
natural fibers to maximize durability
