π More Shorter Guy Clothes
I did a quick review of Abbreviated Apparel a few weeks ago (watch on YouTube).
Since then, Mike (the brand's founder) sent over two new items for me to try on.
I love them. They're just π€πΌ
First, the Lined Work Jacket, which is like a classic Carhartt or Dickies jacket with a shorter body and sleeves.
The XS fits me perfectly.
It's a bit warmer than a chore coat, perfect for mild southwest winters.
Second, the Cotton Fisherman Sweater, a chunky 100% cotton top that's relaxed in all the right places.
I'm a svelte guy. Most "relaxed fit" sweaters are too baggy on me. But this one is just right.
Abbreviated is not only nailing the fit of their clothes. They're doing a great job choosing what pieces to make, and making sure their entire collection feels cohesive (i.e., you can mix and match everything).
If you're a shorter guy who hasn't tried Abbreviated yet, you're missing out! Check 'em out here (use code BROCKMCGOFF for 15% off).

βοΈ Watch List
I subscribe to It's About Time, a newsletter that covers the most exciting watch releases, everything from major luxury to obscure microbrands.
Rarely do I see something that I'd seriously consider buying.
But this Tudor has me doing some math (what would I have to sell to afford it?).
I always thought the 36mm Ranger was just a poor man's Explorer. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but given the choice, most people would take the Rolex.
But then they dropped the beige dial variant π
Just as versatile as black, maybe even more legible. The light dial will wear slightly larger.
And it's half the price of an Explorer I. Still a lot of money, though!
At the very least, I want to try this one IRL at some point.
What do you think? Would you wear it?

π€³πΌ Who I'm Following
I found James Leung on YouTube, his main platform.
In a sea of juiced out bros screaming at us about what henley shirt will get you laid, James brings a relaxed, practical voice to the men's lifestyle niche.
His style is a bit more fashion forward than your average Joe, but it's still plenty relatable.
He just seems like a cool guy, and I appreciate his level-headed vibe.

π·οΈ Sale Picks
You're probably getting bombarded with ads right now. Just a reminder: do NOT buy stuff just because it's on sale.
So far, my Black Friday purchases have been a cheap vacuum for my office, and a hair dryer for my wife.
Here are a few other things that I already own and love, and that are on sale right now:
Again, don't get sucked in by sale season FOMO. Only buy stuff that's already on your wish list, or that you really need (Iike underwear, probably).

βDid you know? Tudor originally existed so Rolex could test new ideas without risking its main brand. Hans Wilsdorf created Tudor in 1926 to offer Rolex-level reliability at a lower price, letting him experiment with new designs and movements, many of which became Rolex staples.
