We both agreed that out of all of them, LE NINETY was the best. They had a great selection of items, but you could tell they were carefully curated. The items were neatly organized and tags even indicated the rarity and quality of each item. In addition, the store was really homey with area to sit and relax, play chess, or grab food or coffee in-store at Café CAMAS. The staff was also very helpful and friendly (even for Canadians). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6519fe482dfac21185b99eb1/0e9cfb26-cb54-4d59-9d3f-5e6b694810b7/IMG_0075.jpg A Thread On Threads - MY THOUGHTS ON IMPULSE SHOPPING - Make it stand out The look of a guy who realizes he’s found a keeper. The quality, weight, and condition of this fringe jacket was outstanding. The price was very reasonable, especially given the CAD to USD exchange rate. It needed a few nips and tucks by my tailor in Boston, but the fit will be absolute perfect once he’s done with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6519fe482dfac21185b99eb1/6c42040c-5599-401a-875a-646c2f09da9a/IMG_0313+2.png A Thread On Threads - MY THOUGHTS ON IMPULSE SHOPPING - Make it stand out I may or may not have yelled, “Jinkies!” upon finding this Cartoon Network branded vintage Scooby-Doo t-shirt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6519fe482dfac21185b99eb1/453e6209-ca4b-4e38-b0fd-1cb700a19028/IMG_0247.png A Thread On Threads - MY THOUGHTS ON IMPULSE SHOPPING - Make it stand out Aaron tries on a really cool, heavyweight military trench coat at another vintage store we popped into. I believe the tag in it said something like, “For military use only.” Who knows what stories this coat could tell. Aaron did not purchase it but had he, it would have been an impulse purchase because he hadn’t considered something like it before. The same goes for me if they had one in my size. Discovering it made me reflect on a piece like this and whether the addition of something similar would be beneficial in my wardrobe. There is an argument to be made about bending the rules in this circumstance because we were somewhere “exotic,” but the piece has to be a “hell yes.” For Aaron, it wasn’t. https://www.andyvenez.com/a-thread-on-threads/stop-telling-guys-to-stop-working-out-so-they-can-fit-better-in-and-wear-more-clothes-im-sick-of-it monthly 0.5 2025-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6519fe482dfac21185b99eb1/1737592939386-E2CGFNXE3SNPST5PDWW8/946E2A6E-A20A-48AB-A0F6-2D7B9543A3FB.JPG A Thread On Threads - STOP TELLING GUYS TO WORKOUT LESS SO THEY CAN DRESS BETTER AND SHOP FOR CLOTHES MORE EASILY. I’M SICK OF IT. - Make it stand out After hanging up my hockey skates, I picked up CrossFit and have done it for nearly 14 years. I’m in the best shape of my life, and going to CrossFit is a happy place for me. I have made friends and met some wonderful people at the gyms I’ve belonged to and the ones I’ve visited while traveling.
