“What causes the eruptions, the riots, the revol

“What causes the eruptions, the riots, the revolts- whatever you want to call them- is the despair of being in a static position, absolutely static, of watching your father, your brother, your uncle, or your cousin- no matter how old the black cat is or how young- who has no future. And when the summer comes, both fathers and sons are in the streets- they can't stay in the houses. I was born in those houses and I know. And it's not their fault.” James Baldwin in Esquire in 1968. Could be a quote from yesterday. Everyone deserves a future. Society needs to change. It’s on everyone to do it. Organizations to support @naacp @yourrightscamp @aclu_nationwide @americanprogress

I went to @costapalmas in January — which was just a few months back —but it seems like a lifetime ago. This morning I was thinking about the moment I stepped into the open-air lobby after an early flight and day of travel. You have a cocktail, see the ocean, feel the air moving and know the whole trip is in front of you. •
The East Cape of Cabo is exactly my speed and I can’t wait to eventually go back. Things will normalize and good things are still in front of us.

I take the caffé and the clean winter air. 🇮🇹

Today I paid a visit to @hertlingusa in Brooklyn — one of the finest makers of trousers anywhere. Many of the highly skilled craftspeople I met today have been with Hertling for over 40 years. It’s a special company that is deserving of our appreciation and support. They have ready-made khakis and dress trousers and also do custom orders if you want to have something made just for you. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Had a buddy in college that had a D90 and I’ve always fucking loved these things. Spotted this NBD perfect Defender the other day and it made me think back to cruising around Athens, Ohio over two decades ago.

Beautiful sunset on the Pacific tonight in Big Sur. I think we made the right choice getting an ocean view room.

If I was going to make a list of the best stores in America, Cuffs would be high on it. It's such a gem of a shop in a little jewel box town that is Chagrin Falls. It's nice to see that some good things remain constant. Cuffs in a lot of ways reminds me of other great men’s shops that I love — specifically @harrison_limited in Birmingham (who is no doubt smiling today after that Iron Bowl finish). It's a simple and longstanding formula (which is actually extremely difficult to execute) to offer service, quality and do it with a taste level. It's as far from the scrum of Black Friday or cyber week promotions as you can get. It just comes down to value and values. Cheers to the Kowall family for being such an inspiration to me.

Hanging out with the new @alangesoehne Odysseus + friends. The one I’ve always wanted the most is the 1815 Up/Down. These are all such great timepieces.

Some days > other days. When your buddy calls you and says there’s an extra spot for you at the @kswaveco ... you go. The event was surrounding the launch of the handsome new @breitling_usa x @outerknown Superocean with ECONYL sustainable strap. Thanks to @bonfirebeachkids and everyone at Surf Ranch for a great day. Also, to @raimanaworld for the tough love on the water!!
