American Trench Cotton Linen Shorts Quick Review
I've never been much of a "shorts" guy so this summer I decided to experiment a little bit more and branch out.
I gravitate less to the hoochie-daddy, super tight around the thighs look, and most of what I've been looking at has

(Journal) Fact to Fantasy: From inspiration to complete fabrication.
I had a fun time with yesterday’s WAYWT and inspired by @zeometers excellent journal post I just wanted to write it down before it disappears down the memory hole. Usually when I put together a fit it’s not really an iterative process. I already have a strong idea in my head from daydreaming about it before or I’m riffing on something I’ve already done.

When I think of archetypes that resonate, a lot of it comes from 1970’s film. It’s why I’m in the same Ivy and milsurp pit as a lot of MFAD. One that popped to mind that combined my love of milsurp and numerous pockets was a combat photographer. I had a couple roadblocks in that I didn’t want to rock full fatigues and I didn’t plan on dropping stacks on an SLR so I was going to have to be evocative rather than literal....
