terrible photo, looks much better here:

also better styling choices. I think it looks nice.

thanks, those are much better pics, only difference being it's denim instead of cotton but they basically look exactly the same otherwise

My collection. However most of it's the $55-$70 ish range you pick up from Macy's, but I still get a lot of good comments on a lot them. My problem is I don't branch out enough and most of it is citrusy rather than woodsy... I need to take on the woodsy scent more.

At quick glance, I have about 3 of those.

In high school I went through a cologne buying stage and I've yet to use any of them up.

opinion on this jacket?

Not crazy about the sleeves. I think a varsity style jacket looks better with cuffs. Otherwise it's solid.

Ehh, I'm not really worried about using them up. Just like variety. Cologne, sunglasses, and swimsuits are probably the things I have way too many of, but I always keep buying.

Going out on a date?

Speaking of green, Kraftwerk I did some research and it doesn't look like we're getting the Forest Green at all. Apparently it was one of the original Naked & Famous lines from 2009 that they decided to remake a limited quantity of recently, hence it's resurface on a number of websites. That's why they're relatively difficult to find, sorry dude.

Ahh, I see. Thank you for checking. I guess I will get it from Tate n Yoko, and the pomegranate from you guys.

I got a black leather belt today, to go along with my black shoes. I tucked in my shirt and it did look very good. Lot cleaner and professional. I will still do #teamuntucked depending on the shirt.

There's an eBay seller who has the forest green for $155, if I recall. Worth checking out if he still has your size.

Do any of you have this month's issue of Men's Health (Adam Levine on the cover)? They have a "Guide to Style" in the back of the magazine, and they listed these really nice shoes from Topman, but I can't find said shoes on their website. Unfortunately, the only description they gave is "(Topman, $75)", so I don't know anything beyond that. I wonder if it's store-only Their only CA store is in LA, and a trip is out of the question.

The shoes are dark with multiple shades of brown, along with different textures and some white accents. Shape-wise, they look like Onitsuka Tigers. Does it ring any bells for anyone?

If it's allowed, I'll snap a pic of the page later (No scans rule from Gaming Side, etc.). I really want to know how to find them.

 

[freenudemacusers]

just scan it.

 

[coldvein]

if you scan i will ban.

 

[Desi]

Curious myself as a lot of (high profile) fashion sites i frequent post scans all the time. TFS is huge as every visual editorial or interview is uploaded in full glory. But obviously this isn't TFS.

 

[DrBaalzamon]

the perspective of this is fucking with my brain. are your bottles of cologne glued to the ceiling? whats going on

Its just upside down, heh.

i love kenneth cole reaction

i like citrus/fruity scents more too. i hate most musky scents. I Am King is probably my most worn. I like CK Summer, Givenchy Play/Pi too.

yeah, either way it's a very streetwear modification of a varsity+trucker jacket, which is pretty much wang's MO. I think the mainline released a version of this too that's a little more pared-down.

 

[luckyboyceo]

See, don't you guys want to look as badass as that guy?

One day, I'm going to have a closet full of Stefano Ricci shirts.

One day.

Probably a stupid question, but does Y-3 actually make running shoes? As a runner, it would be cool to have running shoes that don't look like ass.

Caramel Harrington jacket or dark navy harrington?

Ehh, when it comes to sports and outdoor shoes / clothing function is more important than form.

Well, I mean, if Y-3's 'running shoes' are actually running shoes, then I would have the best of both worlds.

Also, went to buy SLP skinny jeans last night, found them suddenly sold out everywhere in my size (29). Whatta bummer.

 

[Zilch]

Any interesting boutiques in LA I should check out when I'm there next week? I'm coming from NYC so I've, like, been to Barney's. I wish Band of Outsiders had a showroom...

Skingrat downtown. American Rag? I'd say just crawl the main shopping drags (Melrose, Abott Kinney, Beverly, Robertson, Sunset) until you find something you like.

 

[freenudemacusers]

skip over to chrome hearts and bask in the metal and biker gothy glory.

Where can't you get cargo pants in nyc?

I have to dress formal for work everyday so #teamtucked it is.


I got my black leather boots shined today. They look so good. I love a good shoe shine.

 

[coldvein]

i also like it when the lower class shines my footwear

 

[The Last Wizard]

I mis worded that, in my shopping I've yet to see cargos. What stores carry them, I see a lot of people with like army cam cargo pants or just beige ones. I've been wondering where they've gotten em'.

Man it was so like that too.

Uniqlo usually has some.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Anyone here bought a shirt or polo from Kent Wang before? I have heard that they are extremely slim fit. Wish I could try one one. Nobody seems to have them in store. I guess online only (?)

 

[luckyboyceo]

Fade Friday Wednesday, courtesy of Rawrdenim. Standard Unbranded 201s, 3 years 4 washes.

For those of you looking for your first raw denim, these are a great option. Fades aside, they'll last you a good couple years and only run you around $90.

After:

 

[freenudemacusers]

not a fan of these high contrast fades.

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm also not liking the intensity of those fades.

 

[Antagon]

I think that the focus on as much contrast as possible that you often see is a bit silly. Doesn't necessarily make the jeans look better and can be a pain with the ridiculously low amount of washes. Even wears out your jeans faster.

[thezerofire]

does unbranded make any jeans with less intense fades?

 

[Devil Theory]

I've only tried on one before, but it was very tight, yes. I don't know the cut I tried and it was a couple years ago, but the armholes were very high and I sized up to medium, and probably could've pulled off a large after a wash. Take that for what it's worth.

For comparison, I'm 5'9 140lbs. and usually wear a medium in Armani.

 

[Antagon]

does unbranded make any jeans with less intense fades?

Intensity of the fades depends for a large factor on how much you wash the jeans. Also, this is after 3 years. The fades won't be anywhere near as pronounced for a long time.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Yeesh those fades aren't that great...

And that's only after four washes? Wow the dye must've been half gone during the first wash.

 

[freenudemacusers]

does unbranded make any jeans with less intense fades?

sure, just wash them more often. I've had various raw jeans through the years (6+ years now?) and none of them look like that. also, I'm willing to bet the dude set his fade spots with starch or used sandpaper to make them more obvious.

 

[coldvein]

some day one of you is going to have to take me to school on raw denim and wtf it is about. fades? what??

 

[HappyBivouac]

It's just denim with all the dye still in it, instead of being washed in a particular fashion so the color is faded about like it is with... non-raw denim. People like the appeal of wearing the dye out themselves through everyday wear, and they get off on the idea that the patterns of faded indigo dye reflect them as a person or some shit. There's some appeal to that, sure, but a lot of it is just wankery, and to me it's not a good reason to buy a pair of jeans. I'll buy jeans if they're good and I like them. Some of these good jeans come raw, some don't. My favorite pair of jeans in my wardrobe is not raw, and is also significantly cheaper than some other pairs I have:
