I have to say I have loved my shirts from Natty. A perfect fit and just as I wanted them made. I don't think there's a better value to be had anywhere!

I've always hated talking on the phone, even before cell phones were a thing. This has become a stronger aversion as I've gotten older. Texting is the way to go. Professionally, I have no choice but to speak to people via phone, but I still hate it. If I could, I would change my voicemail...

Saltburn. Loved it.

the new series is extraordinary.
