Because the crystal is acrylic (which scratches easily), it has the famous Timex “tick” (some people find it loud and annoying), and it’s water resistant to just 30m (so it’s splash resistant, and that’s it). But it is a hell of a good looking watch. [In Review: The Timex Todd Snyder Beekman Retro Watch | Dappered.com]( It has a lot of retro vibes. The cream dial, brassy numerals and indicies, and red accents look like that sepia tone that all of your parents (or grandparents) old photos used to have. Y’know, when cameras didn’t come standard on your phone, and you had to get a roll of film developed before you could see the pictures. [In Review: The Timex Todd Snyder Beekman Retro Watch | Dappered.com]( There’s no date window here. Just a tachymeter ring. Which, like the rest of the watch, looks good but frankly isn’t something you’re gonna use all that often, if at all. There’s some very, very subtle Todd Snyder branding at 6 o’clock, and the TIMEX logo is at twelve. Yes, it has Indiglo. Just push the crown in for that bright, back-lit dial light when you need it. 40mm diameter is wearable by most. [In Review: The Timex Todd Snyder Beekman Retro Watch | Dappered.com]( The movement is from the Philippines and the strap is from India. The 20mm wide strap is decently flexible right out of the box, but it needs to be said one more time… it has that “tick” that some other Timex watches have. So if you’re easily annoyed by small, consistent noises, then you might want to take a pass. [In Review: The Timex Todd Snyder Beekman Retro Watch | Dappered.com]( Fingers crossed that this one goes on sale and/or comes up for those one-time-use codes Todd Snyder sometimes sends out in their snail-mail catalogs. $158 seems steep for the guts and the crystal, but if you love the looks? Then you’ll probably really like the watch. ff/Dappered?a=7Y76QXJA1rI:aGJa9vCbAKo:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=7Y76QXJA1rI:aGJa9vCbAKo:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=7Y76QXJA1rI:aGJa9vCbAKo:gIN9vFwOqvQ [Steal Alert: J. Crew Ludlow Italian Worsted Wool Suits for $296](r/Dappered/~3/bN8_k_TtlMk/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 28 Aug 2018 11:00 AM PDT [Ludlow Suit Jacket](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/sportcoatsandvests/suitingblazers/ludlow-slimfit-suit-jacket-with-double-vent-in-italian-worsted-wool/11707?sale=true&color_name=navy&isFromSale=true) & [Matching Pant = $296.78](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/suiting/ludlow-slimfit-suit-pant-in-italian-worsted-wool/43967?sale=true&color_name=charcoal&isFromSale=true) w/ BIGSALE ($650) There’s been some concern that J. Crew is about to change. [And perhaps not for the better](). It feels like most of the change is gonna happen on the women’s side, but who knows. It’s tough to predict. So if you like their Ludlow suits, now’s not a bad time to grab one. Nice Italian wool. Lined in Bemberg instead of stuffy polyester. Half canvas construction. Plus, they’re sold as suit separates instead of traditionally nested pairs. That’s a huge deal for fellas who don’t fall into the normal “drop” zone of other suit companies. [J. Crew Ludlow Suits](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/sportcoatsandvests/suitingblazers/ludlow-slimfit-suit-jacket-with-double-vent-in-italian-worsted-wool/11707?sale=true&color_name=navy&isFromSale=true) Sold as separates, so, [don’t forget the pants](//www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/suiting/ludlow-slimfit-suit-pant-in-italian-worsted-wool/43967?sale=true&color_name=charcoal&isFromSale=true). And now they’re on sale for the same price that a fused, basic wool number from little brother JCF usually goes for. And they’re not final sale either. Yet. Yes, they do have the too-slim-for-some 2.5″ lapel. But most don’t seem to mind it, and the slightly lower slung button stance on Ludlow jackets seem to balance it out. Bummed that there’s not any real Crosby fits in the sale section. We’ll do a deeper dive into this promotion as well as the rest of the long weekend sales coming up in a hoedown on Thursday. That’s all. Carry on. ff/Dappered?a=bN8_k_TtlMk:rbegH1ym3Ws:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=bN8_k_TtlMk:rbegH1ym3Ws:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=bN8_k_TtlMk:rbegH1ym3Ws:gIN9vFwOqvQ [The Playlist – August 2018](r/Dappered/~3/G_Bd24Eib9I/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email) Posted: 28 Aug 2018 08:00 AM PDT Music is a little like [food]( and clothes. These are areas where it’s probably worthwhile for one to explore & expand their tastes. The Playlist is assembled each month by [Dappered’s very own music correspondent]( Tim Johnstone. Tim is a former Virgin Records Label Rep & current award winning Program Director at [KRVB](, which was awarded the FMQB AAA station of the year markets 50+. You can also catch his work on Fridays when he assembles [the Weekend Reset](. Got a Spotify account? You’ll find a link to this month’s playlist at the end of the post. [Phosphorescent – “New Birth in New England”](  I love everything about this new track from Matthew Houck, AKA Phosphorescent. It rolls along on a bubbly beat, with a care-free attitude which is fresh and laid back. There is some definite nostalgia happening with the arrangement and while I can’t put my finger on it, it might be because the entire song is a ruthless hook which will install itself up in your little grey cells and not let go. It is a glorious thing indeed. [Greta Van Fleet – “When The Curtain Falls”](  At this point you are either a definite fan or a definite hater. I had the chance to see these guys a couple weeks back and they were an absolute blast. They may be a momentary phenomenon but I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts. [Flora Cash – “You’re Somebody Else”]( A lovely, sneakily addictive ear worm. [Cypress Hill – “Band Of Gypsies”](  Everyone’s favorite OG stoner-rappers (or is it rap-stoners?) are back with everything you’d expect and then some. Sessions for their upcoming release [Elephants on Acid]( (available September 28th) were recorded in Egypt and some of what the band was hearing on Egyptian radio made it’s way to the album. This psychedelic Mid-East influenced track finds the band in excellent form. Welcome back fellas. [David Bowie – “Zeroes (2018)”](  David Bowie was [never really happy with the production and arrangements]( for his 1987 album [Never Let Me Down](. Nevertheless, it contained some really strong songs which still sound good today. This re-recording keeps Peter Frampton’s original sitar work, an appropriate nod to the era the song is written about. [CHVRCHES – “Miracle”](  Perfect Scottish pop. That’s what these guys consistently serve us and we thank them. [Silk City – “Feel About You”](  Old school disco from Mark Ronson and Diplo, who know a thing or two about the genre. Slick stuff, this. [You Me At Six – “3AM”]( New music from a British quintet who Joe turned me onto. This is gym playlist worthy. Solid melodies and a nice mix are just part of what is appealing about this really fun and catchy song. Also, as Joe pointed out, the lyrics are pretty relatable. [twentyonepilots – “Jumpsuit”](  Haters gonna hate. For everyone else, the duo return with a song that feels big and moody and is dark and scream-y and has made a lot of people excited about their new album. [William Prince – “Breathless”]( For those of you who appreciate Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson, William Price is an artist for you. He was born and raised in the Peguis First Nation of Manitoba, Canada. His voice is rich and deep and immediately comforting. This is classic singer songwriter music and it is fairly endearing. [The Interrupters – “She’s Kerosene”](  Ah hell yeah. This is all sorts of fun. A blast of retro ska that wields all the fun of those who came before. Full marks. [Scars On 45 – “Teenage Superstar”](  Joe asked me the other day, “why aren’t Scars on 45…bigger?” This is something I ask myself all. the. time. This gifted band from Bradford, England continue to create catchy, memorable songs which have fallen between the cracks of various musical genres. That’s a shame. “Teenage Superstar” features a giant chorus, terrific harmonies and a bit of nostalgia wrapped up in production from Matt Nathanson. [Knife Party + Tom Morello – “Battle Sirens”](  That one time Tom Morello went dubstep. [Muse – “Something Human”](  Low on histrionics and yet very much MUSE, the latest offering from their new album is something you will likely be hearing pretty much everywhere in the near future. [Robyn – “Missing U”]( Robyn! Welcome back and oh how we’ve missed you. Melancholy is built into the DNA of Robyn’s songs, even when they are made for the dance floor. It’s been a long eight years since her last record and this is a terrific intro to her imminent project. [THE CLASSIC: Harvey Danger – “Flagpole Sitta”]( Nonchalant and disarming, “Flagpole Sitta” is, in retrospect, quaint, all things considered. Hearing this 20 some odd years after it’s initial release, lyrics like “Been around the world and found only stupid people are breeding…” seem portentous. This is one of those songs that make the end of the world sound fun. So, there’s that. For previous editions of The Playlist, see the growing archive [here](.
