And then there is no arguing about taste. We belong to the 'Men 1.0' battle. We are not passionate shoppers and buying clothes is not exactly in our top three.
That makes Good Looking in Dieren, the clothing store of Nils Donker, our main supplier. Tell Nils what you want. And he packs it in the right size and color.
When asked for new jeans, he gives two. "One for you plus the pants that your wife would have chosen for you". The jeans fit. And at home you get compliments about that one, beautiful. pants that you have purchased. "Why didn't you take two of them?"
Nice and important that clothing. Nils is a classic enthusiast. That is much more fun. And as a small entrepreneur that is quite a point in these times when the prices of neat classics are pretty stiff.
But Nils had saved and he has patience. His new Continental is an authentic, really honest, rock-hard car with the friendliest patina. And to get the cost out of the purchase, Nils uses his car, just like the Caddy he had before, as an advertisement on the sidewalk in front of his shop.
That attracts more people than advertising.
If he is sitting outside on the sidewalk making jeans to length, he has a nice view and always a claim.
And yes, things are going well.
