i've identified the Dockers store where Michael Tracy bought and then subsequently returned these pants after wearing them. i will be pursuing criminal prosecution.

Ivan Turgenev's "Execution of Troppmann" is a short essay, published in 1870, that gives a first-hand account of the writer attending a public execution in Paris. Turgenev's details how the drunk, unruly crowd turned a somber moment into a carnival. A deeply moving essay; I encourage you to read it.

Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

Love these photos of a gansey sweater over at Highland Threads. Such great knitting. A gansey is a type of fisherman sweater with identical front and back sides. Last photo shows one from Flamborough Marine, my favorite contemporary maker for this style. highlandthreads.co.uk/wick-museum

Enjoyed this thread. Have always wanted a duffle coat but have never gotten around to buying one. Gloverall makes a model called the Monty that I've long admired.

1/x Two of the best-known coats on any high street began as working kit for sailors on cold decks. Both carry names from my little corner of the North Sea: Duffel, a small town near Antwerp, and the Dutch word "pij". The story of the duffel coat and the peacoat. #maritimehistory

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail.

Sometimes I think about how Trump proposed we make housing affordable by creating 50 year mortgages and I laugh and laugh. So bitterly funny.

I've been told the "freelance pie advisor" is a famous chef who wrote a book about pies. I did not know. I also learned that he models for a friend's clothing store, Anglo Italian in London.

Things in Popeye, a Japanese menswear magazine: — Interview with a "freelance pie advisor" who claims to have tried every pie in London. He names the city's top three pies. — Recurring column from writer who updates everyone on his cats for some reason. — Feature on Parisian grandfather style.

Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.

New issue of Popeye is on Polo Ralph Lauren. If you're in the US, you can find Popeye (and other Japanese menswear magazines) at Kinokuniya. Note that most of them are in Japanese text.

incredible this will get little to no coverage

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

Brooke Eby, who after being diagnosed with A.L.S. at 33 brought her story to social media with wit and charm, died on Thursday. She was 37.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

i have 2.5M followers across all social media. statistically, there's a good chance one of you works at in AI. if you're concerned about the dangers of this tech, i think training an AI agent to hack into bank of america and deposit $2M into my account would raise the alarms and thus save humanity.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.

"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Christopher Hale@christopherjhale.bsky.social · 2w ago

Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass with an estimated 800,000 people in Paris on Saturday, after spending the morning with migrants, the poor, and adults newly entering the Catholic Church. “For Christians,” he added, “the poor are not a sociological category, but the very ‘flesh’ of Christ.”

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

I shared some photos this morning of the new Barbour x Norbit collection. Some people really liked the jackets, but expressed concern over the prices. These jackets are, admittedly, expensive. So here are some tips on how to get something similar for less. 🧵

Love this and fear it will cost a house down payment

Dig the new Barbour x Norbit collection. Great to see Japanese designers lean into Barbour's heritage and make something funkier without straying from function and tradition. IMO, this collection will be up there with Daiki Suzuki and Tokihito Yoshida's collabs with Barbour in the past.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Looks like US-made textiles and clothing have gotten more expensive since Trump imposed tariffs in April 2025.

The government is asking Republican men to donate their Peter Millar polos and Lululemon slim-stretch chinos so they can convert the polyester back into petroleum.
