  • See those boots that Jake Ryan’s wearing in Sixteen Candles?  I’ve made it my mission to find a pair of those for myself, and after years of searching, I found a pair of deadstock Carolina boots that are the exact same pair!  They were nestled away behind dozens of boxes of other work boots at a quaint general store on the NY/CT. border called Saperstein’s.  The best part?  The guy wanted to get rid of them, so I got them for $40 bucks!  So right now I’m sitting at the foot of the Berkshires, drinking bourbon, listening to Todd Rundgren and feeling damn good.
