That's my excuse for some purchasing. I was out one night in Christchurch NZ, where I live, listening to a pub band & noticed the sax players shirt & decided I had to have one just like it. After all, I try to play the sax too. I own one anyway.
It was a Stussy shirt & it had a sax player on it. I looked everywhere I could think of in Chch & couldn't find it, same for internet. Came to LOS & found it in a market, now I have 2 of them. Wouldn't matter to me if it had Stussy on it or not. Who knows, the "proper sax player" may have got his in LOS too - I didn't speak to him. Next time I hope I can make my point in fewer words 5555
