Transcript

If you live in New York City and want to be approached by men, you should wear Capital and then Citibike over to Greenpoint because every software engineer and VC investor that just read Emily Sundberg's newsletter and wants to talk about how taste is the new core skill will approach you and confirm that you're wearing a capital jacket. It is sartorially chumming the waters for these men, and I would know that because I wore a denim capital jacket to Tribeca and Greenpoint a few weeks ago, and people really wanna come up to you. So if you're single, buy some capital and walk around because men will talk to you.
