monogram

last sunday i went to a wedding with a boy, as his date. the wedding was lovely and the guests were very au courant. every dude at the wedding was a DJ but i am above name-dropping. the important thing to know is that no matter how cool a social set is, they will still dance badly to Thriller at the reception. (seriously, moving like grandmothers post-hip replacement.)

my date wore a suit. since he pretty much always wears jeans, sometimes pairing them with a jean jacket* or sawed-off vest**, it was clearly a special occasion. does it ameliorate the situation that his suit was black linen from APC and it fit him perfectly?

because it is probably the only time i will ever see him in a suit, i designed a custom monogram for him and embroidered it. i don't think he appreciated the gift; fancy isn't really his thing. i handed it over in the cab and he was like "you made this?" and folded the handkerchief into his pocket.









* my god, what kind of sartoracle trainwreck am i hooking up with?


**but he's also so keeeeeeen. seriously, he always looks great. must be the fit.
