The hat is Studio Malone.

[James Harris]

That's such a good, good boy. Good boy of you.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, no, Todd's been great to us. Todd's been great to me.

[James Harris]

You're a good boy.

[Lawrence]

I was like, listen, is somebody going to possibly walk up to me thinking that I work pr. Yes. With that said, I did. It's. And you know what this is? This is one of my more recent Todd acquisitions and it's like the perfect kind of weight for the temperature today. I also have, well, vintage Armani button up. My. I have a.

[James Harris]

How many can I. How many vintage Armani button ups you own? You had to guess.

[Lawrence]

The limit does not exist. Nah, probably double digits. It's like my dress shirt rotation. I've, you know, I've figured out what I like, I figured out what fits, what errors I enjoy. And I have loaded up, doubled up.

[James Harris]

And ready to maybe.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, it's probably somewhere around 10 there. And listen, there's some Vinti Brion Ski in the mix as well.

[James Harris]

What is an average Armani button down, button up, go for like, like 150.

[Lawrence]

Like taxed or how I can source eBay, eBay.

[James Harris]

EBay. 180. No, you can 50.

[Lawrence]

You could find them for less than 100 bucks easily.

[James Harris]

Really?

[Lawrence]

Yeah, and not even in bad condition. It's just like one of those things where it's like, Armani's a name that people know, but there's guys that don't fit shirts anymore or they died and their wives don't want their fucking, you know, garbage laying around when they get their second and third husband that, you know, they don't care that it's Armani, it's. You go take this off my hands. And I am more than happy to do that piggin.

[James Harris]

Shit, you left your Levi's jacket at home.

[Lawrence]

I mean, wait, do we want to already get into that.

[James Harris]

No, no, no, no. Portion of the episode A. Yeah, I.

[Lawrence]

Have some thoughts there, obviously, because I want to talk about the sartorial fucking conundrum that all these bozos found themselves in. No thanks to Luigi. The Macintosh, because it is raining is a FCE tools Macintosh. It is a very complicated garment. The most complicated rain jacket Mac that I've ever owned because it is from Korea, I believe.

[James Harris]

Why does that sell?

[Lawrence]

Because they just are on some fucking next level shit, dude, this is what we've been talking about. I also feel like I should fact check that cuz maybe they're from another also.

[James Harris]

Why does it being from Korea make sense that it's complicated? They did what? Because they just declared martial law for five hours.

[Lawrence]

No. Yeah, that guy ran that back real quick. Dude, talk about egg on your face. Ah. Where are they from?

[James Harris]

Dude, I'm just going to let you. Let you fester.

[Lawrence]

Oh no.

[James Harris]

Not even going to kill Tom on your behalf.

[Lawrence]

No, dude, please.

[James Harris]

Why would you do this?

[Lawrence]

They are in this corner. They are Japanese. Okay, I was wrong. It is an awesome brand. I believe they've been shouted out in a dumper before. It's fucking sick. I don't know if like you see me wearing that and you're like, okay, fucking Inspector Gadget. I've just always wanted like a really nice long, flowy khaki classic trench and this is what I got.

[James Harris]

In these times of assassins roaming the streets, I felt like you were more like on your like Omar Little shit. Speaking of wire.

[Lawrence]

No. Le Samurai. My name is Jeff. You ever seen that classic piece of hitman cinema from France?

[James Harris]

You wish you were Le Samurai. My name is Alan.

[Lawrence]

Well, the funniest thing for me is that his character, who's like an iconic steezy, cold blooded assassin, definitely on like the Mount Rushmore of like Hollywood cool killers for hire. But his name is just Jeff, which is fucking hilarious to me. My name is Jeff.

[James Harris]

Jimmy Bell Jeff.

[Lawrence]

Yeah. I kill you. That's an Italian, not a French person.

[James Harris]

My bad on your Luigi.

[Lawrence]

Luigi Mangiani.
