Instead of Rent: July, 2012

July 11, 2012

The moderately and (very) immoderately priced goods that I’d rather spend it on this month.

Engineered Garments Fatigue Shorts

June 19, 2012

There’s a lot that could be said about the Fatigue Shorts from Engineered Garments. Like, that they’re meticulously crafted in New York City.
