The Thursday Dumper: 5/31/24
Welcome to another edition of The Thursday Dumper, a Throwing Fits semi-regular exclusive publication all about jawnz—which, where and why to cop them. Enjoy today's steamy link dump.
"The name Hatski sounds like something Larry might say like 9 times in 10 minutes after 11 beers, but once you get past that there's no denying this Osakan brand makes some delicious denim. The brand's line-up is like 96% jeans, and since I'm stacked with Silver Tabs and 3S x TF, fingers crossed they start branching out into other categories more regularly cuz this minty button down is calling my name like the Green Goblin mask." - Jimmy
"I normally wouldn't waste your precious newsletter reading time with a pre-order, but I got my hands on an early pair of From Point Blank's Cotton Tack Pants and I haven't taken them off since they touched down via the UK homie and IG must-follow Louis Holsgrove. In fact, I'm wearing the brown boys right now as I shill. They're basically souped-up Dickies imo, complete with crazy pocket configurations and pops of neon bar tack stitches that feel more GORP 2.0 assuming that's the version we're on now. I can't keep track despite it being just another crumb from the TF lexicon every TikTok green screener is ripping off wholesale as per usual. Anyway, set your alarms cause they drop later today at like 2pm EST though, if you're reading this morning, it's not too late to sign up for early access on their site #yearofthejimmyclone #jimmypilled." - Larry
"I fr might be adding a few Monokel sunnies to the rotation this summer, but had to highlight the pair that clearly employs five-figure sex workers and has a secret shneef compartment in a solid gold cane or some other type of pimp shit. And if someone thinks you're taking the sleaze too far, you can be really annoying and hit them with an “acktuallyyyy…” cuz these joints are made with a plant-based acetate so whatever microplastics end up in your balls will naturally compost in the scro providing essential nutrients and vital minerals. The circle of life is a beautiful thing." - J
"Outside of cars, I don't normally fuck with hybrids. Wait, are hybrids even still a thing? Has society moved on to EVs exclusively? I don't drive. Anyhow, Carter Young's Julius Western Shirt is the exception to the rule, perfectly marrying your typical button down with western chest pockets, a raw-ish frayed straight hem and beefy three-button cuffs. This shit will take you from the rodeo to the risk management department, or whatever other office terminology starts with the letter R. My bad, I'm a self-employed retired professional podcaster with a broken brain and a crippling nicotine addiction. Speaking of which, how great are dual chest pockets? That's double the Zyn tins per my math." - L
"I maintain that SK Manor Hill is one of the most underrated NYC brands out there. When you work under absolute goat Daiki Suzuki like founder Dominic Sondag, you're gonna consistently pump out gas like a mf who just ate a few plates of brussels sprouts. It's hard to pick just one piece to highlight here since, like many solid labels, the cohesiveness of the entire collection is so strong that it outshines any singular jawn (tho I'm drooling over hypothetically pairing a pullover with some pants (oh wait, not a hypothetical, I own both them shits and gonna do it next time it's in the 60s)). I'll throw up this loose gauge linen blend sweater since the blog medium demands it, but really just peruse the whole season and go crazy on whatever inventory still has your sizing available." - J
"Hello, my name is Lawrence and I bought jawnz off the timeline. Okay, now that's out of the way let's talk about Le Laboureur's work shorts. French for 'the plowman' (lol sex joke), these shorts have unlocked new levels of stolen valor I never even dreamt of: cultural AND hobbyist appropriation! I mean, you might see me getting to the Kronenbourg like David, but you'll never catch me with my knees in the dirt. Pause. Sturdy, short and wide, these shorts are for all my guysers with thighsers though YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO SIZE UP since these run smaller than the preferred stature of a French pedophile's desired sexual partner." - L
"When the big brain of Bradley Carbone clues you into a brand he's stoked on, you better lock that shit in the ol' bean and start paying attention. Big Spicy Rig don't miss, and after I got to meet Brigade co-founder Aaron it's pretty clear why Bradley has faith in the born and bred NYC brand. Aaron's I'm-stoked-just-to-be-here belies the talents that are clearly just emerging. Right now these big ol' cweamy pants with the thigh pussies would be my top pick, but I'mma be closely tracking the outerwear options this fall for some immediate purchases." - J
"Weather be damned I know some of you might be looking for a cotton blend knit for easy, breezy nights spent dining at your parents' country club (you're not picking up the bill) or lounging at your parents' beach house (you're tearing up their liquor cabinet). Adsum's Pady Polo, especially in this electric garnet, is the ticket and the pricepoint seems fair considering you're saving so much bread by straight mooching in various other areas of your life." - L
"Why didn't anyone tell me about Gramicci Japan? Obviously as a simpleton sucka, launching a sub-line that's designed for and inspired by the Land of the Rising Sun is a marketing move that's gonna immediately make my dick and money move. This perfectly simple lightweight windbreaker will soon be mine, and at the Gramicci prices we know and love I'm def Gramicci Japantsing the fuck up shortly." - J
"Let's end things on a psycho note by perusing the myriad of insane leather short options currently available at Guess. I have no fucking idea what the difference between 'cracked' and 'crackle' is—one is an enforcer for the Rice Krispies triumvirate?—but we got some longbois, longerbois and stripybois in all types of normal to wild ass flavors like Willy Wonka himself decided to open an all form no function factory because leather shorts make zero fucking sense whatsoever, but they look sick and that's all that matters at the end of the day as far as I am concerned." - L
