That cooler has been blowing up on the internet! I need one 🙂

I’m not feeling the watch here, and the printed shirt trend is a bridge too far for me, as well. Nice color scheme, though.
John Schroeder
Agreed on both counts. I’m not sold on the recent trend towards printed shirts. Tattersall or gingham/plaid tends to be as far as I venture away from solids. Also, personally I would lean toward something more casual for the watch, a simple Timex with a NATO strap or something similar. I also like the color scheme.
Andrew, solid find on the inexpensive picnic blanket from H&M. I might have to pick one up for myself.

That cooler looks awesome! And unless you’re in the Great White North, it’s way too hot for long sleeves of any kind.

I’m in upstate NY and it’s going down into the 40s tonight, 30s in the Adirondacks.
Andrew
We’ve got quite a many readers outside of the south. 🙂

Neither am I. I am in PA. Won’t be able to wear a coat and be comfortable until late Sept/early Oct.
Andrew
Awesome, which part?! I was just back home in central PA. The evenings here in the west sometimes dip down enough where a sweatshirt is comfortable.

I grew up in the Bay Area, and I miss the cool nights now that I live in the South. I still find it hard to leave the jacket at home when I go out at night.
jbird669
Lehigh Valley – Bethlehem. And I feel you, I am just a warm person by nature. I probably should post that I’d like to see a short sleeve as well as long sleeve option for us warmer folks. Reading my post I sound like a DB.
Adam Brewton
Down here in South AL it’s still high 80’s or low 90’s in the evening but I could do long sleeves if they’re rolled up a bit and the material is light enough. The hoodie would obviously be out. And that cooler… Yes please.
Damiyon
I am in Montgomery and I know what you mean.
TJ
I’m from Birmingham and now I live in Florida. I know exactly what you’re talking about.
I hardly ever wear short sleeves. It’s mostly long sleeves rolled up.
Jose
I really like this combo, it looks so current and cool. Great work Andrew. Greetings from Nicaragua.
Matt Septer
This outfit is $$$
Alex
I really like this shirt, but I see that it only comes in a regular fit instead of slim. Do you still think it will fit well?

Like the shirt, like the hoodie. Not a fan of that color brown on the shorts, but sometimes clothes look different in person. I think a watch with a blue/brown/grey leather strap would look better. Those shoes are super boring. EVERY GUY WEARS THOSE (I have a pair, hardly wear them now, though). Be different.
