Should I Buy This? Yes/No

for some reason, all 3 people i've mentioned this to have thought that buying it would be the stupidest thing in the entire fucking world

here's what bruce said about it in Applied Cryptography:

The meat of the book is the "Table of Random Digits." It lists them in five-digit groups -- "10097 32533 76520 13586 ..." -- 50 on a line and 50 lines on a page. The table goes on for 400 pages and, except for a particularly racy section on page 283 which reads "69696," makes for a boring read.

lol <3 that guy

that being said, i really want that book.. reminds me of kenneth goldsmith's 'uncreative writings'

I thought I was really into swing music and the roaring 20s!

dayo, i just lol'd so hard at the idea of you being this kind of dude

oh god phil did you buy that scarf? i WANT IT

i bought the kangol, size medium because my head's kinda big? hope it's not too big.

yay!

bright yellow rain slicker ... i am concerned that 90% PVC / 10% poly will just be way too unbreathable, especially as all my other jackets are waxed cotton or goretex.

i do have a 100% nylon coach jacket that is not too bad with shorts and a shirt.

how can you tell how "sweaty" a synthetic is going to be? does it have to do at all with the variations in the density of the "weave" or is it just choice of material?

I have a raincoat like that and it is...not breathable. Good for walking the dogs in the rain, though.

supposedly it has a "breathable lining". maybe i just need to go XL so that there's tons of air circulation. i <3 the color so much.

Yeah, I would imagine that a raincoat like this made now would be superior to the 80s version that I am still wearing around. Mine is green and has whales on the inside.

i think breathable lining is just a layer of mesh? i've had that before on rain jacket and it did nothing to help the breathability.

i think i really want bright primary colored outerwear right now

hart schaffner marx 2 button navy suit @ 50% off?

are those pants double reverse pleat? sort of square for my taste.

i can't look at that rue la la link.

you can't argue with a classic two-button navy jacket, but what's the material? is it about $300?

single pleat, pin dot medium weight wool

$350, marked down from $895 msrp -- i guess that is more than %50 off duh

i should state that i have 30 minutes to decide before sale closes, lol flash sales

i think i am gonna go for it, i need a suit to wear to interviews & i can return it if need be

well i am not a fan of pin dot personally but it looks like a good deal imo

vahid, this color is a bit more pale, but just came in some email i got. reversible, nylon

is nylon more breathable than PVC/poly?

thank you to the dedicated humans who helped me decide to buy this hat. i like it, and it's cute + can be worn in several ways. medium was the right size, might even be a little small!
this picture is dedicated to emil.y even though she probably won't see it
apologies for the armpit

oh no someone blew up vahid's super secret overpriced clothing label

nah i think it's a nice jacket is all! i think y, u should buy it

i mean i really there there is too much said about "classics" and "investment pieces" and "quality construction" wrt #menswear but i think that buy is all those things & totally justifiable

ohhhh the wool jacket

i might buy it but i worry that i will just always be reaching for my goretex stuff first
