This week, Perks is bringing you 40% off shirts from Freemans. They feature a tab under the sleeve that can be fastened to a button placed strategically above the elbow—a little shirting know-how borrowed from Depression-era machinists—so feel free to roll up the sleeves. Because that magnum of champagne isn’t going to saber itself.

And lately, you’ve been feeling like your photos could use a little bit more Bay-style verve. So you’ll come to this site, upload a picture and pile on the sports cars, fighter jets and explosions. Perfect for your passport photo.

Consider it extreme gardening.

(We’ll assume you’re smoking this cigar from the deck of a yacht.) Your savior: a matchbox, covered with useful facts and charts. If you can’t trust a matchbox with this kind of stuff, who can you trust.
