The Lifestyle Come Up King On The Case…

I’m getting my summer knit stash up to 1000% with the quickness thanks to some moves at Marshall’s (where else?) and a timely clearance x coupons at Lord and Taylor’s. Oh, you don’t fux with Lord and Taylor’s? Get a l8 pass Lifestyler.

Lord and Taylor been my honeycomb hideout for I.T.’s since they give away store coupons which can be used for P.R.L. pieces. This round was a 20% Off clearance and sale items along with a bonus coupon for -$15 on any item over $40.

Let’s rotate in a counterclockwise fashion to see how I worked it…

Paris city knit series from Marshall’s which I had reduced to first markdown ($43) from $59.99

Original MSRP was $145 so $43 meets the parameters for comeup status as determined by Dirty Jerz and myself*

*Your item must be at least -60% retail MSRP

Jerz is my man. Next I.T. is one of these Wild River short sleeve joints I nabbed from L&T. The Wild River (series 1) was put on clearance for $59.99 for almost everything in the series. We previewed these pieces several months ago but the activity on them on the retail side was lukewarm.

I love the colorblocking on these joints and Lord and Taylor made the deal even sexier with their 20% Off coupon.

These pieces are Custom Fit XXL so I need to drop some of this winter titty fat to rock these right and exact but I’m not sweating that. I’m more concerned about where I’m gonna go kayaking when I pop these tags. Delaware Water Gap swag on deck.

This last piece is gonna get the dP custom treatment when I put this patch on the back. The Lifestyle does not stop Internets. So don’t YOU stop.

My OG Internets homey Gabe just launched his very own clothing line called Artillery Concern. I can remember hanging with Gabe a couple of years back and while blowing trees him telling me about his ideas for modern menswear.

Well now the time has come and Gabe is showing that his wasn’t a pipe dream but a passion dream.

Artillery Concern is starting off small with an intro tee, but Gabe is gonna do the cut x sew pieces like the one pictured above.

Here’s a look at the tee…

Been Had Stussy…

When I saw how sickly dope the Timberland x Stussy Deluxe field boot was made I went on a hunt to try and come up on a pair on some clearance shit. No dice. These boots left Urban Outfitters stores as fast as they dropped.

I found them on the eBay system from the same seller who pieced me the brown joints. Dude even gave me the same price for a little over a buck. This is definitely gonna be the summer of Timberland. Are you ready to walk with me Internets?

Combat Jack told me he had the official tissue connect at Nike and I will admit that I was skeptical because Combat Jack is Haitian and ever since Dessalines the Haitian men be knowing what to say to get the people hype.

When this box came to the lab tho’…

You are in the navy now Lifestylers!

I’ve got a few new naval themed I.T.’s in the archive but nothing is hitting harder than this satin jacket with the sickest embroidery on the back.

The pants were on clearance at Bloomies and the Tiger’s (Asics) were a nice pickup from Nordstrom Rack. Ha, I should have racked them, but I was the only jig in the store.

Who can be mad at $35 tho’? The khaki cargos were even cheaper at $32.50 because Bloomie’s clearance is -50% off the LOWEST ticket price.

How boss is that embroidery?

The real reason I’m rocking the Onitsuka Tigers in this ‘Fit is because the jacket told me to.
