You Need Fall Jackets. Here’s a Sale.

If you hold your wallet up to your ear and listen closely, you can hear the sound of Bench & Loom having a sale. One where things like Japanese cotton twill jackets from Garbstore and chinos from Levi’s Made & Crafted are half off. Sorry about that seashell reference, by the way.
