Argh.
You come across something exceptional.
You have never seen it before.
It has your name on it.
Love at first sight.
You will have it on and ride in it five minutes after it arrives.
But there is a problem.
You know by one single photo, it is going to be expensive.
Argh.
You can see it in the style.
You can see it in the details.
You can see it in the fit.
Haha, you can see it in the background photos.
A Mountain Range in Europe.
But you know it’s going to be worth it.
You know the price is one click or scroll away.
You see it is available in your size.
You scroll down.
Your next giveaway is the € symbol.
You see the price.
You do the conversion.
I have never paid that amount for a Polo.
I can’t.
You close-up.
Move on with your day.
But it is on your mind.
A few weeks go by.
You look at it again.
Shit, you like it even more.
You jiggle things around in your head and decide, ‘Yeah, it is out of my comfort zone.’
You close-up.
Move on with your day.
A few weeks go by.
You look at it again.
It is on SALE.
Not a lot on sale, but enough.
You buy it.
It arrives.
Five minutes later, you are riding in it.
BOGNER
I have one of their Polos.
But it is equal to five.
BOGNER has been around for close to one hundred years.
I have always been aware of them through skiing.
But they have branched out.
They have a Golf Collection.
It is very small.
Just a few items.
But less is more for them.
Less is more for me.
I work better in this environment.
I would rather pick from three than twelve.
It is not a complicated shirt.
It is simple.
Easy to describe.
Navy blue.
Red ribbed sleeves.
Red ribbed collar.
Red Placket.
But it is so much more.
So much more.
It has all the qualities you want in a performance polo.
The fit is wonderful.
I mean even the ribbed cuffs are stretchy.
A zippered Placket, and no buttons.
A nice touch.
The stitching too.
It is possibly the nicest thing I own.
Actually, there is a sweater that is the nicest thing I own.
…I will save that for another day.

This was kind of a tough one to write.
I was afraid you would get the feeling of ‘must be nice.’
But I am learning to buy things for life.
It may be expensive, but I will be wearing it for years to come.
And haha, maybe stop me from buying other shirts, so over time it becomes free.
‘Argh’
Insert sighing emoji here.
‘Wear it OUT’
