I’ve been casually peepin’ ur ‘sletters for a couple months now, but this no-affiliate manifesto hit me hard, so I hit that ‘scribe button.
Integrity is hard to come by in our post truth internet soup. Thanks for what you do.
If you’re not already going to first Fridays at Hammerling in West Berkeley. check it out! Some real good peeps there slanging food and low-intervention wines.
Thanks Plane gang for keeping it real as always and helping us toe the line between cultivating a dope vibe and resisting the spells of e-commercism. Ready to run through a brick wall after that 'sletter
hahaha none planned anytime soon BUT there *are* two spyplane collaborations due this fall for two very different things -- one a shoe, the other a kitchen item -- & we are very excited about both 🤫
Been thinking about signing up for a while and finally smashed that subscribe button after reading this. Interested to see if you ever cover clothes for big and tall guys.
I'm 6'4" 225 and was semi-recently very much heavier. I'm also basically shaped like a giant eggplant. So not, like, easy to fit.
What I've found is that the huge pant/billowy shirt era is amazing for bigger dudes. They're harder to find, but most of the brands they're already talking about make something that'll fit. Our Legacy, Casey Casey, Evan Kinori, and man-tle all make XL versions of their shirts that are big and more importantly get bigger at the bottom.
My personal favorite, Tender, make some truly gigantic shirts though the styling is a little more niche and they're harder to find.
Big Bud Press makes pants and work jackets in like up to 8x. And eBay Ralph Lauren button-ups and Levi's 550s are available in lots of larger sizes.
You didn't ask and I obviously don't know how big and/or tall you are, so I apologize for the unsolicited recs. And these are obviously not groundbreaking, but for the first time in a while I feel like us bigger folks can just go out and buy what everyone else is buying.
what's up chris & welcome -- it's something i tend to ask about in conversations w/ big & tall guys, i.e. the interviews with them jeans, eric wareheim and probably matty matheson although we might have just talked about how much he loves motorcycles haha
Spyplane is the Fugazi of swag.
I love hearing your recs, as I trust your judgement!
I appreciate your transparency. Good question— is it even possible to sell out anymore?
Considering buying a cross country plane ticket for the sole purpose of 8/6/24 4:00-5:00PM

Super ‘sletter, as ever. I’m curious which swaggy scientists you’ve interviewed.
Suzanne Simard, the forest ecologist who theorized the “wood wide web” !
