what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

“did you find anything at the thrift store?”  my old lady asked

“another black t-shirt”  I said

then she not so much laughed as exhaled and imperceptibly shook her head non verbally saying “are you fucking kidding me?”

but this one’s sweet and I’m going to silkscreen it into a one-of-a-kind one-at-a-time creation kinda sorta like all the other black t-shirts I screen and wear 

and I also found some $75 Izod golf pants for $5 and cut them off at the knee and I’ll be wearing them until they fall apart. because golf pants are the new black. because golf pants are the new Carhartts. because golf pants are the new Dickies. no joke.  they’re stretchy quick-dry and they have six deep pockets that are cut just right for e-assist bathtub Mr. McFeely delivery. they’re built better than cycling “lifestyle” pants and they’re ubiquitous in thrift stores if you know what you’re looking for  

mark my words

it’s a quality of life issue

you may recall a previous jaunt down golf pants road roundabout 16 years ago, but that was just a 100% cotton folly more about the matching coozie and toptube pad courtesy of those guys down at DANK bags

this time it's for real

those cotton shorts didn't last long and the roadmaster coozie was re-gifted or traded away but my bike wore that toptube pad to work today in a phantom-nostalgia-full-cirlcle way

it doesn't match my Izod cutoffs and the other six layers of black clothing I'm wearing but it's there because because because 

because of the wonderful things it does

excellent golf pants with matching accessories (are those still being manufACTURED? If so, I have some cut off items!! none in new black--old black available.

I remember when vintage ski pants were going to be the new bike shorts. Never quite panned out.

when i roll over and look at the clock at 3:27am i think of you. the wet wool nordic knickers never worked for me. i have worn cutoff snowboarding pants for a couple winters. in my current gig, the pockets mean a lot to me so these golf pants have it all
