Spring Picks from Red Clay Soul

1. Traditional South Carolina Hat from State Traditions: Add some flavor to your hat rotation with an off-color version of the classic.
2. Westward Leaning No1.1 Children of California Shades Black with California Redwood:  Eventually all of this rain will stop.  I swear.  When that happens, you’ll need something cool since the future is so bright.
3. Twice Again Black Watch from Swatch:  A good beater for the summer.  It can stand whatever you throw it’s way – the pool, the beach, a music festival, or leaving it in your pocket through the wash cycle.  
4. Sid Mashburn Green/White Bengal Stripe Cotton/Linen Popover Shirt:  The cotton/linen blend will breathe during the hot summer days, the popover style will keep the conversation fresh.
5. Jack Black Sun Guard Sunscreen:  Protect your skin.  Enough said.
6. Boglioli Washed Wool Navy Blue K-Jacket:  Probably the coolest jacket out there.  It’s a lightweight wool, but the washed finish gives it a rich look and feel.
7. Epaulet Slim Walt Trouser in Scarlet Irish Linen:  Wearing linen pants requires responsibility.  Wearing scarlet red, slim cut linen pants requires confidence.  You’ve got it.  Ball out. 
8. Filson Navy Tote:  Do I go on and on about totes?  Yes.  Navy AND Filson?  Do it.
9. G Fore Golf Glove in Azure:  How bored are you with a white golf glove?  Me too.  Try this one and you’ll never go back.
10. “Don’t Bend Over In The Garden, Granny, You Know Them Taters Got Eyes” by Lewis Grizzard:  Consider this the first entry in the ‘Red Clay Soul Summer Book Club’.  Oprah has nothing on this.
11. Basil Hayden’s Bourbon:  This is a rich, versatile bourbon that is perfect neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of ginger ale.  A great crowd pleaser.  Cheers.
12 The Freshy P’s Shorts from Chubbies:  Guys – it’s time to stop wearing the man-pris.  These bright blue shorts from Chubbies are cut just right – with a shorter inseam that qualify these as ‘shorts’.  And they are awesome. 
13. “Endless Summer” by the Beach Boys:  This is the summer anthem.  You’ll be surprised that you know all the words.  So will she.
14. A Frisbee:  Sports.  Don’t be bashful.
15. Martin Dingman Beck Belt:  Stylish, and perfect for the warmer weather.  It gives your shorts, your pants, or a pair of jeans a ‘lighter’ look for this time of year.  Pair it with some loafers or oxfords (sans sock, of course) for a spring-casual vibe.
16. Mocassins by The Car Shoe:  Don’t listen to the ‘no suede after Easter’ rule.  Make your own rules.
