Vans, Wayfarers and a Swatch | Adding the final touches before Radwood at The Amelia

Not sure if it helps, but I already have a to-do list for the next one. Just ran out of time on a few details....

Hmph. At the time I just called that "going somewhere".

Now get off my lawn.

In reply to paddygarcia :

Yeah, that was kinda the joke. :)

(Okay, I normally don't wear a Swatch, so that's the big change.)

Also, did Swatches tick this loudly back in the day? I treated myself to a new one. 

I found my college Swatch, and it's dead. High school Swatch is missing. If anything, guess my hearing still works....

Yeah, they were always loud. I've got a couple, including a Blackout that's the same as my high school watch.

I admit, I have to keep it in a drawer. (I'm back wearing my Tissot PRS516 at the moment.)

Never had a swatch as I was too cool for watches at the time. I take the 5th on a Stussy hat, but would propose that Radwood calls for one.

I did special order my Vans. Is that even a thing anymore?

In reply to paddygarcia :

Yes, can totally special order Vans. Now it's done online, so no need to fill out that form. I have a few pair still sitting in the box: custom Sk8-Hi’s, DogTowns and Old Skool Canvas, a model sadly NLA. 

I'm wearing the ever-fashionable black/white slip-ons now, but I am a fan of the high-tops and Old Skools. They have a bit more support, too. I know, getting old. 

You know, I still have a pair from high school. Maybe for this weekend....

I don't need a new pair of shoes or a new watch, but all this talk about Vans and Swatches is making me think that might have to change.

I do like the Swatch. But when sitting here working, I do hear the tick, tick, tick.

But it looks cool. 

I really wanted to wear my old one, but it's just tagged.
