10E2411: Dave's New York

On recent trip to NYC stumbled on Dave's New York [581 Avenue of the Americas - #latetotheparty -ed.] Half full of Euros looking for rock bottom prices on jeans, and then construction workers looking for a snap-on hood or extra gloves. Fantastic. See "original fit" B01 Carhartts - though in truth that means the recent fit, as opposed to relaxed fit - which is not the 80s straight fit. Anyhow, 12oz duck unwashed, made in the USA, and plenty o' sizes. Good deal.

10E2235: Victoria Barbers

3 Haddington Place, EH7 4AE. Leith Walk... great hours.

10E2202: Location Scouting w/ Google Maps - Somerville

Goes way back... storefront part so neat - love the blank sign. The old J.R.'s Convenience - not to be confused with JR's Deli and Convenience. Anyone have more info?

Boothbay from Boston is just way too easy to get to... try Squirrel Island, ME. Hat tip to ACupOfJoe for coining the desktop vacation phrase... good one.
