Weekly eBay Grails 5/29
feat. Jack Ferris
Never thought the day would come but after literally multiple hours of scouring eBay for the grailest of grails, I now have enough source material to launch my own brand. Look out for launch details for Poor & Clumsy. Our brand ethos is celebrating both literal poverty and poverty of the spirit. I hope you relate and support financially. In the meantime, I will continue to publish these eBay blogs. What is important is that you keep buying things, a practice I support so wholeheartedly that I have invented the tagline “More is more” for my germinal brand.
Starting the grails off with a small curation of Swatches for the only influencer I care about, Mister Mort.
If you’re not Mort disregard.

If you don’t like Cold World it is because your brain is infinitesimally small and you have zero taste.

Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electric locomotive is one of the most iconic (steam, diesel, or electric) of all time. Sporting a beautiful streamlined design it not only looked good but it also performed exemplary reaching speeds of over 100 mph and remained in service for nearly 50 years after it first entered service during the mid-1930s. During this time the locomotives carried all of the Pennsy's crack trains up and down the east coast from the Broadway Limited to regional services such as the Congressionals and Senator. In many ways the “G” became the face of the Pennsy herself and while newer locomotives eventually retired the last GG1 in 1983 (which operated on the New Jersey Transit) the locomotive’s legendary status has not dampened.
Anyway, here’s a picture of it on a shirt.
Ah, two of life’s great pleasures — white pants and vintage Wranglers.
Now you can extend your outdoor-poser lifestyle indoors!
Somehow I was unaware that Take Ivy, the best fashion and lifestyle book of all time, had a sequel.
At the end of the day, I really just wish I was a submarine driver.
