This post has been a long time coming—meant to post it weeks ago—but with sale season already deeply underway, it’s not such a bad time to post it now.
Here are the clothes I’ve been wearing the most this summer. From Pitti Uomo 110 to America’s 250th July 4th fireworks to a LEGO exhibit at the museum with my kids to beach outings with the in-laws to my workaday routine.

Watch straps, watches and other accessories
NATO straps on my watches (my favorite go-to brand is Anchor—use MWM20 for my 20% off code) or from Artem, which are quite good. CNS makes dirt cheap ones that take forever to arrive.
The Longines Zulu time 39mm (mine has the green bezel)
The Bleu de Chauffe Zoom travel bag (I’ve been using it as my daily bag for work with laptop + the padded camera insert from their Bologna camera bag in it, just in case, you know, I need to quick set up the camera and shoot some content)
