I missed getting a picture of where the collar had worn down at the fold, but I am happy to mend this shirt and wear it for many more days.

Speaking of crashouts, my friend spotted this truck on the street in Manhattan. Imagining the nyc ultrarich decamping for New Hampshire is hilarious, like a more unsympathetic schitt’s creek
