i also told people two years ago to buy a cuban link chain because of their beautiful backstory involving cuban immigrants. in mid-2023, a 14k 8mm 22" gold cuban link necklace was about $4k. today, that same necklace is almost $10k.

if you took my advice, you would be rich
A screenshot of a post titled "Excited to Wear This Spring." The post was published June 1, 2023. The excerpt reads: "CUBAN LINK NECKLACE I’m a sucker for a good American story: the oxford cloth button-down and penny loafer as the sine qua non of the post-war Ivy look, the snap button Western shirt and cowboy boot as symbols of America’s mythologized past, and how blue jeans went from Gold Rush garb to Silicon Valley vêtement within 150 years. Similarly, no accessory better reflects the sparkling spirit of Americana than Cuban link chains, a story forged by Latin immigrants, Black hip-hop artists, and American street culture. Cuban jewelry came to the US with the arrival of Cuban exiles. In 1959, shortly after Castro overthrew the Batista’s regime and established a new government, millions of Cubans from diverse social positions fled to the US, first by boat and later by plane. Many of these émigrés worked as jewelers in their home country. And so, naturally, they made a life in the United States—many of them while based in Florida and especially Miami—crafting and selling gold jewelry. Cuban chains are distinguished by the tightness of their links. They’re made by twisting gold wires into a coil, which is then cut and linked into a simple chain. This chain is then wrenched flat and filed into its final form. It’s a beautiful process, but since clothing is just as much about semiotics as it is about craft, it took Black hip hop artists and street culture to give this style cultural meaning. When I was shopping for a gold necklace last year, I knew it had to be a Cuban link because of this album and film." A photo of a thick Cuban link necklace.

Today, the same chain is about $9.5k.

I learned about Roger Ailes's sexual harassment from Megyn Kelly!!
From Roger Ailes's Wikiipedia page: "Sexual harassment allegations In a book published in 2014, Gabriel Sherman alleged that, in the 1980s, Ailes offered a television producer a raise if she would sleep with him.[9][37] Fox News denied the allegation and rejected the authenticity of Sherman's book.[37] On July 6, 2016, former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes; Carlson's allegations were the impetus for more than a dozen female employees at 21st Century Fox to step forward regarding their own experiences with Ailes's behaviour. Carlson alleged that she had been fired for rebuffing Ailes's advances.[38][39] Ailes, through his attorney, Susan Estrich, denied the charges.[40][41] Three days later, Sherman reported accounts from six women (two publicly and four anonymously) who alleged sexual harassment by Ailes.[42] In response, Ailes's counsel released a statement: "It has become obvious that Ms. Carlson and her lawyer are desperately attempting to litigate this in the press because they have no legal case to argue."[43] Following Ailes' resignation, Andrea Tantaros claimed in August 2016 that she approached Fox News executives about Ailes' behavior towards her in 2015. She stated that her allegations resulted first in her being demoted, and then in her being taken off the air in April 2016.[44] Tantaros filed a lawsuit against Fox News in August 2016 for sexual harassment, also accusing Bill O'Reilly and Scott Brown.[45][46]" From Roger Ailes's Wikipedia page: "On August 8, 2016, Shelley Ross, writing for The Daily Beast, described her encounter of sexual harassment with Ailes in 1981. She claimed that at a lunch meeting Ailes asked her, "When did you first discover you were sexy?" When Ross explained to Ailes that she found the conversation "very embarrassing," he responded that "the best expression of loyalty comes in the form of a sexual alliance."[47] The next month, 21st Century Fox announced it had settled a lawsuit with Carlson over her allegations of harassment against Ailes.[1] 21st Century Fox was also reported to have made separate settlements with at least two other women who made complaints about Ailes.[1] In November 2016, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly wrote in her book about the details of her sexual abuse allegations against Ailes. According to Kelly, when she first joined Fox News, Ailes would have meetings with her, during which he would make sexual remarks. Kelly alleges that he also tried to kiss her several times during a closed-door meeting, but she was able to get away and leave the office. After that incident in 2006, Kelly says that Ailes did not sexually harass her again. Then, in 2016, when Gretchen Carlson first made her sexual abuse allegations, 21st Century Fox pressured Kelly to defend Ailes, which she refused to do.[48]"

i say this with love because everyone starts somewhere, but it's just that, sometimes you see someone with a massive platform and they're like "it kind of seems like republicans favor the rich?"

Example of an upscale version: the recently revived Invertère label produces one with leather toggles (not jute) and Elysian cloth (not Melton). Elysian is a labor-intensive overcoating made with two layers of plain weave sewn together, then covered in a third layer of weft floats. Note the texture
A man in a navy Invetere duffle coat. He has a white top, tan chinos, and black shoes. A close up of the navy Invetere duffle coat shows black leather toggles. A close up of the hood detail. It's made with three panels so you don't get the pointy hood. A close up of the fabric. It has a herringbone texture.

Nigel Cabourn made a wonderful version many years ago, which came with a rope cinch. Very off-beat workwear. Lemaire has a more contemporary version. Most people will look best in Gloverall's Monty (get the long version, not short). Take your regular size. Looks best big.
