take the suedeheads bowling

after taking my daughter to her very first bowling alley, i was immediately taken by the snappy new bowling shoes they happened to offer for hire, which were in a color palette not far off from the rastafarian flag.

the old school type of bowling shoe you and i would likely find in a thrift shop are hard to find, new or new-ish, online. these come fairly close. whoops, i see one of those pesky little RAF target symbols.....something tells me there's a bit of the secret handshake going on here, nudge nudge.

what's good for the goose

already having come across the pearson from canada goose (look at it - you want one, don't you?), which i might be able to afford oh, when hell freezes over (or when i win the lottery, whichever comes first), i was pleased to also discover the constable parka. now, there's a bit of outerwear a little bit less, shall we say, pedestrian than the standard - which may be a fourth of the price, but sadly i must say looks about a fourth as nice. (i think that the draw is, it's more appropriate for wearing over a suit. a goose down parka isn't going to afford that much breathing room, unless i'm mistaken. of course i won't know until i try one - hint hint!!)

i also am rather fond of the herringbone shirt jacket. it reminds me of something one used to get from pendleton back in the day. those ones were red, i believe.

in any case, for the price of a couple of these of these i could very nearly pay my mortgage.......and at my current rate of pay it would take me nearly a month to make the money to buy either one.

so i am hoping somehow to weasel a comp in exchange for writing a favorable review. hear that designers/retailers? i will write reviews of your products in exchange for freebies!

hello? anyone out there listening?
