Field & Crew Watch Post Pulled

So some of you may have seen a post from the other day about the Field & Crew Watch Kickstarter project, and now you may have noticed it is no longer here.  While I did not realize it at the time of the original post, it appears there may have been a little “ripping off” going on.  Thanks to Joe from Dappered.com, we can clearly see that the Field & Crew photo is just a Photoshopped version of a picture of the Button-Stud Watch Strap offered by our good friend Shawn from Form·Function·Form.  All one needs to do is scroll down to the bottom of Shawn’s site and see that all product designs and photography has been copyrighted.  So until it’s proven untrue, I don’t want to promote a project that takes part in copyright infringement.  Apologies to Shawn and to you, the readers, as well.  Head over to fff and buy the real thing; they’re perfect.

Insert clever title about “Vests” here…

Living here in Chicago is great.  But one of the things I very much miss about the South is the ability to walk outside in a limited amount of layers without freezing my ass off.  I mean, I know locals up here will tell you that it’s been a “mild” winter so far, but I’m not feeling the same way about it.  I’m cold, and I can’t go outside with these temps without being dressed like this kid.  So, as I was saying, I miss the weather where I could walk outside with a sweater and a vest layered over it, and be just fine.  While I should be worrying about something more substantial and warm, I keep going back to shopping around for a new vest.  Whether it’s a puffer, quilted or even fleece, I’m a big fan of them.  Below are few of my current favorites…

203.2067-4Billy Reid… on sale!

BW008_1Suitsupply: Looks great over or under a sport coat.

While they won’t keep me warm enough on their own up here, still quite perfect for me!
