Very bummed this Bermuda parka is no longer available at Wooden Sleepers.

Totally want this dockers blazer. (I refuse to show the picture though since the dude’s mustache is not something that I want on my site). Talk about a perfect warm weather blazer.

Here’s the Kaholo Stand-Up Paddleboard that I’d like to buy and build for the lake. Look at that natural wood goodness.

Now I want a blue/white micro-striped shirt monogrammed. I’m thinking I’ll take a club collar, slim fit with a single barrel button cuff. Really wishing I could see the collar of the shirt.

One thing for certain is that monogram is boss. That makes the shirt. The placement, style and color. Typically I’d opt for “JPP”, but the two initials is where I’ll go should I recreate this shirt.

If you need recommendations for the best pickles, might I suggest Milwaukee’s Pickles and Tony Packos (Original) Pickles and Peppers. Those are the only two brands/types I buy.

Needs an orange sail. But I want it. Badly.

Here is my (soon-to-be) new summer shoe: natural canvas chucks with leather laces.

Liquid Flow sent me some Buzios shorts to review. A hybrid short and swim trunk, Liquid Flow is focusing its products on water-based activities (think: sailing, lakes and swimming pools). I love utilitarian things, so these are perfect for me.

Now, let’s talk the pattern. The yell0w paisley appears to be rather loud. And, it is. But not that loud. I routinely find myself reaching for these shorts most weekends. They pair well with navy, white and grey.

Performance-wise I can’t complain either. I’ve worn this in and out of the water with no complaints. They worked great for a Memorial Day weekend on the water, allowing me to be carefree around the water. Easy to move in and comfortable to wear in the heat, I’m considering wearing these to golf in. It’s worth noting that if you’re concerned with your valuables in your pockets, Liquid Flow has you covered. Each pair of their shorts comes with an innovative waterproof pocket to store anything you’re concerned with getting wet.

Probably the best part of these is that they are so versatile. With pockets and belt loops like normal shorts, I am able to go about my business as normal. But, if the mood strikes me to take a dip in the lake, I can do so and not worry about my shorts taking hours to dry. And, in the heat of the summer the quick drying material is also rather breathable.

Bottom line: these are very versatile shorts. I wear mine all the time, even when not near water. I just need to get a Patagonia Tech Web Belt to wear with them.
