We lost one of the greats of stage and screen today. And, in my book, a tremendous friend and man. I learned so much from him. I will miss you, Patrick Stewart, all of my days. @mang0ld

Marcelo Bielsa on modern football: “I am sure that football is in a process of decline. “It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore. “If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football. “For me, the introduction of technology like VAR does a lot of harm to football. “This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal. “As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted.” Good to see people like him calling it out 👏

If you're shopping for workwear-inspired outerwear this season — whether a Barbour, barn coat, or French chore jacket — I encourage you to consider vintage first. Old clothes often have a patina that cubicle farmers are unlikely to ever achieve on their own. That patina is what gives these styles their charm. For instance, this 1993 Bedale at Jojo's General Store in Sheffield has the most wonderful wear patterns, along with a detachable teddy bear lining for extra warmth. Of course, vintage clothes sometimes come with undesirable smells. Rave FabriCARE in Scottsdale, Arizona, can handle most cleaning needs, while New England Reproofers is my choice for waxed cotton. Cleaning and rewaxing an old Barbour will invariably remove some of its patina, but enough will remain to make the jacket look more charming than something bought new.
