wow these look awful
They don't show off my ass as well as normal jeans do.

How tight do the Uniqlo graphical tees run? Some of the Sprz NY stuff is neat.

i wanted to like kva but they fit kinda chunky and i just can't work it
Chunky as in loose? or they do feel beefy?
Sorry, English isn't my first language, expressions sometimes go over my head.
big/beefy

the toeboxes are roomy/boxy ime. i mean they aren't rick level, but definitely on the not-sleek side. the shoes aren't loose or anything.

Yeah, this is a great idea (I lift, bro), but I'm not feeling them.
if you're a big dude just gotta go with the drop crotch
Hmm, tell me more. Where can I learn about these "drop crotch" garments? These seem as though they would suit my legs.
A) Perfect DILF age. One of my goals in life.
B) You guys are too good at shopping.

I think they do deal scouting on a daily basis... also style forums.
You could also look for harem pants, Anton, but the crotch could end up dropping a little too low in that case, hm...
Also the name change is really stumping people over in the sneaker thread. :x

Thanks, man.
I'll look them up, too. Who knows? I'm just tired of ordering W34-36 jeans (I'm a 32, occasional 34) and still having them really tight around my thighs.

consider pleated pants as well. i know pleat is a dirty word but if you get something nice, it simply gives you more thigh space and nothing more.
Post some of your V-necks, bruh

Link to those black shoes? Those look great

The dark nomadic style does not fit him well. If you're going rock it, you're hair needs to match the threads. The overall style looks silly with this body, and face structure.

Aw man, you think so? I thought he pulls it off pretty well, given his body type. I have a hard time finding built dudes with a matching style (who don't look like douchebags).

11 is their biggest size, damn
Those are dope and if I never saw them person I would have jumped at a chance to pick them up on sale, but like mac and Alucrid stated they're bigger than they look in web shots. Thought they were much more compact until I saw them up close. Too big for me.
If you're going to wear designer threads, you need to match the part. My opinions may change if he gets a nice trim.

you can get a 12 at http://www.thecorner.com/us/men/sho...38&sortRule=Ranking&page=1&productsPerPage=30
they definitely do not fit small or tight, so if you're a 12.5 you could probably wing it.
I find it ironic when this quote is from that article
Also, it's not like he's draped in shit from Songs for the Mute or something.
Here's someone wearing a pair

I'm a 13, I might be able to get a 12.5

might be worth a shot, the toebox is round and the shoes are fairly box-like. not at all like common projects, for example.
edit: if it at all helps i'm a 9 in chuck taylors and a 9/42 in the following:
balenciaga (not arena)
common projects
marc jacobs
ami
and the 9/42 van assche pair had a good amount of wiggle room compared to the rest. like, thick socks in the winter wiggle room.

What type of lifestyle do you think he (rick owens) lives? It goes both ways. Just cause someone wears one or two designer threads =/= mean you live that lifestyle or you look good. It looks awkward on him.

i've never worn gats
Rick's clothes are pretty roomy and generous in many aspects, especially his pants. Obviously Rick himself lifts quite a bit, so it's not too off base for someone who lifts to gravitate towards clothes that fit him well. It's not like he can squeeze into Dior. And again, most of it isn't even that "goth ninja" or, as you've rebranded it, "dark nomad." They're pretty safe pieces, especially the leather. I mean, fuck, how many people who buy RO fit into this lifestyle that you've created in your mind. I don't even know what its supposed to be.

Both tres bien and thecorner only have KVA shoes up to 45. They just have differing ideas of what 45 means in US sizing.
I consider myself a size 12, and I have a pair of KVA size 45, and I can touch the end of the toebox with my big toe. I would not recommend to someone with size 13 feet.

I'm a 42 in mmm, 41 in cp, ymmv. /shrug
it's pretty fucked though when most of my shoe sizing is based off second hand information in comparison to other shoe sizing. probably why i just stick to mmm sneakers since i know what i need

I've seen people say they wear the same size in both cp and mmm though.
ps even styleforum is hating on the skittles jizz gats I can't wear shoes that controversial.

Which ones did you get?
haven't bought yet. but i am gonna get the grey suede ones. i am a sucker for grey and like the look of 'em. at that price, i am sure it will be a guilt free purchase.

i've had 6 or so cp's through the years and i've been a 42 in all of them with the exception of last year's perforated lows which i had to go up a size. i guess it depends on how you like them to fit.

The only downside is if they don't fit you're gonna go through international shipping hell. But the guys there are AAA quality customer service.
I'm surprised no one here has brought up the coppens commons. Last chance to own these.

I can be a snob with fashion, and especially when there's pics of dudes wearing designer threads that don't pull it off in my opinion. I'm more critical of it because I wear "that" style, and hang with people that wear the same. I'm all for people experimenting with, and getting in on this but you can't half ass it - it looks silly. And this nomadic, shiek style that you've claimed i've created, honestly it's been circulating for awhile. It all falls under the darkshadow reference.
No offence to you, but that is your opinion, which to them it is irrelevant. If they like that style, and enjoy wearing it, then more power to them.
Same with you, if you like living that lifestyle, and hang out only with people that live that life, then more power to you.
So what homogenous traits do you and your people share that make you innately meant to wear these clothes.
That's fine but when you wear it, and post it on some lookbook site , than i'm going to say something.Tthis image he's trying to convey with designer threads looks silly.
