anyone know much about these:

http://www.kentwang.com/shoes/sneaker-white.html

i've been eyeing Common Projects but just happened to see this guy's shoes and how they're basically CPs minus huge cost and some small aesthetic stuff, I am sure the leathers used vary a bit too. most quick internet research says they're pretty damn comfy and get the job done. i wanted the CPs for their minimalist look and these fit the bill.

general thoughts?

Looked at some reviews online, and the materials/quality looks super low. I would say do not buy but if you want just the look of CP, your decision.

Store near me just got some Philip Lim items.;

I wish I had the confidence a.k.a model looks and body to pull this off and not give a fuck.

What about just the jacket? It looks pretty nice. What store anyway? (assuming Toronto)

Toronto indeed.

I have purchased a few items there, usually they sell out very quickly.

I think you can easily pull off the bomber if the rest of your outfit is subdued. The shorts are a harder sell.

Yeah, me too.

I don't think I'd wear the jacket but I can see how it would look cool in the right circumstances.

I'm not sold on the shorts at all. There is the same amount of detail from the jacket cramped into a third of the material. It looks too busy.

I've been picking a bunch of items, mostly basics in anticipation of spring (white pants, red Vans, etc.) But I also decided to buy this when BR was having a 40% online-only sale. Hopefully it looks good in person:

 

[freenudemacusers]

shorts would be better if they didn't look like printed champion.

 

[zeopower6]

I think the jacket or shorts both work when mixed with simpler pieces, but should never be worn together. Not even designers style their looks like that normally x_x Though Philip did sort of jam that print all over one model on the runway... maybe he ran out of mix/match options?

The jacket is probably the easiest to pull off and would probably see more use imo.

The other printed short from this collection is much more wearable (and isn't supposed to be athletic shorts) I think. The white shorts with the same print are a good alternative too, but it doesn't seem like those are for sale yet.

Given the amount of money you guys spend on your clothes, what detergent do you use to care for them? Woolite?

Why would you wash your clothes? I only wear every piece once . I let the plebs who buy my used clothes bask in my godlike aroma.

[Alucrid]

i use woolite because it smells great

 

[freenudemacusers]

a) all free and clear (cold/delicate cycle) + drying rack

or

b) hand wash + drying rack

 

[zeopower6]

Generally, doesn't luxury clothing just get dry cleaned for the most part? (hand washing is also another alternative and usually what I see being recommended for custom pieces)

 

[Alucrid]

eh, not really, i don't dry clean that much at all

 

[zeopower6]

eh, not really, i don't dry clean that much at all

Hand wash then?

 

[Alucrid]

Hand wash then?

depends. some i hand wash, most i just throw in the washer with laundry bags and hang dry

 

[Autumn Wind]

a) all free and clear (cold/delicate cycle) + drying rack

Interesting. I have used this before though is there any specific benefit to it compared to other free and clear detergents?

 

[freenudemacusers]

i can get it anywhere and it comes in a large jug and isn't very expensive

[Illithid Dude]

can anyone speak to how large burberry prorsum footwear runs? i found an incredible pair of boots in size 44, but i'm really more of a 43-43.5.

 

[Grakl]

I got a suit from suit supply, wearing it is probably the most stylish I'll ever be

 

[Alucrid]

I want to cap a pair of combat boots or some new highs, but there isn't anything out there grabbing my attention

 

[thezerofire]

I'm pretty sure the Pantofola d'Oro's I got are a half size to a full size too big I can still get away with wearing them I guess but they look a bit weird

Hmm. Weather is tarting to get warm here...still very tempted to have in collection.

 

[freenudemacusers]

just think tho, you're saving like $2,500!

edit: wait, that's not mainline. so probably only $1500.

 

[CFMOORE!]

[freenudemacusers]

Anyone come across this Fred Perry top before?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

How are Dockers' shorts?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I quite like the top, but rolled up trousers, dress shoes and no socks is something I will never understand.

It's like anti-fashion or something.

Is it this one? Seems like it was an old shirt they reissued as part of a new collection. That price tho....

How are Dockers' shorts?

They make shorts?! But they give me a bit of an 'older dad' vibe. Seem to be a good price though... maybe I'll try some on next time I'm at a JCPenney's/Macy's/Kohl's.

That ankle peek is so sexy. I wish they rolled up his trousers a bit more neatly.

It's actually a pretty 'fashion forward' styling and works well visually in some cases. Though in reality... foot sweat ew.

 

[overcast]

Seems incredibly uncomfortable.

 

[thezerofire]

loafer socks are quite comfortable

 

[freenudemacusers]

so gilt canceled my sunglasses order and gave me $10. I wonder if I should buy another closeout pair and double my winnings.

I've gone sockless a few times and it's not bad assuming you've broken in your shoes. otherwise it hurts.

it's the smell and not the comfort that ultimately gets to me

Use code gilt30 for 30% for the next 2 days.

 

[zeopower6]

midnights, that Acne dip dye sweater is amazing...

 

[freenudemacusers]

code didn't work, and there really isn't much I want to buy... so I just got a pair of raf simons tortoiseshell shades instead.

if you're a medium there is cashmere...

Who does good casual boots in the price range of 100-200?

clarks desert boots in a nice suede would be my pick. come sale time you can probably get red wing or wolverine 1000 mile for just a bit more.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Whose joseph?

yeah turns out that code was tied to the guys account that posted it my bad.

 

[zeopower6]

Dunno.

 

[freenudemacusers]

joseph homme has been around for a quite a long time, your basic upscale stylish clothing thing, kinda a cross between sandro and apc.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

For that price you can get the likely superior raf simons one.

 

[freenudemacusers]

joseph is cashmere tho

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Cashmere is for ladies and old mans.

 

[freenudemacusers]

kids these days and their cotton sweatshirts. back in my day those were for the gym or immigrants.
