And when I say useless, I mean useless to me.

Keeps me light and streamlined. But I have to tell you, Deluxe’s comb makes me want to get a haircut that suits using one and the key chain makes me want to own more things that keys belong to.

The perfect white tee.

We’re now at the halfway point of Summer and for the third Summer in row I’m finding that I have resorted to my warm weather uniform again - the crisp white v-neck tee - with just about anything, shorts, denim, chinos, etc.  Of course there are situations when a white tee doesn’t entirely feel appropriate, like when I’m at a restaraunt I can’t dine outside at. But in most other casual situations there could be nothing better. Japanese label Deluxe, who’s product seems to sell out before you can blink, posted up their DELUXE×Hanes V-Neck T-shirts yesterday and word is they will be released on July 25th and will retail for a whopping $54. I’m enjoying the faux-retro packaging and Deluxe woven label at the bottom hem all of which seems to be adding to that markup.
