those mids look fine to me, unlike the repugnant og mids

speaking of shooz, i wonder when ssense will make prices more gooder so i can buy some summer CPs.

You mean these mugs?

Isn't ssense sale in the summer?

not sure if the sidewalls are painted white or just white by default. i would personally paint a white pair eggshell vs bright white. the very slight difference might be cool as it wears.

that's what I was planning on doing. thanks

This DIY post has a recent update!

It looks like the result was a bit clumpier than the real deal, but it looks okay! Just don't do the laces. (not sure why they did it to begin with haha)

I always felt this thread needed more DIY fashion.

yeah, you can get it at craft stores pretty readily.

What's the best way to clean canvas shoes? I have some canvas desert boots that oi foolishly wore to work and they got muddied and super dusty.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Ervell shirt is pretty good. Wish it was a bit longer but otherwise very nice.

 

[Rookje]

Recommend me a good beach bag. That doesn't look girly or prep/JCrew-ish.

 

[rokkerkory]

Im now into boat shoes i knoe lttp

 

[thezerofire]

used goo gone on my dirty white vans, now they're a weird purpley-brown and all the creases are black. oh well

 

[Technosteve]

going in to NYC tomorrow, which salvation army should I shop at?

 

[thezerofire]

but on a better note, sea salt hairspray is pretty awesome

 

[NinjaBoiX]

stumbled across these schneider pants and they were an insta buy

Nice and clean, very cool. I like the trainers too.

Go low or go high none of this in between shit

Nah, nothing wrong with mid-cuts mane.

Mac you're the Mauro Grifoni expert here right? How is their denim?

ok, would at $80-$100 but not more. The washes are nice, but the fit can be acne slim depending on model.

Ok cool. They're at 140 on yoox so I guess I'll hold off. Anyone know how N&F Skinny Guys fit compared to Levi's 510's? Also I kinda want a jean with a pretty small leg opening

 

[MistakenMobius]

Creepy Floral print jacket,
390 EUR though, very excessive for a polyester jacket....

N&F are pretty slim.

 

[thezerofire]

N&F are pretty slim.

I've been meaning to try those but my local Nordstrom's stopped stocking them. You wouldn't happen to know who else carries them physically to try on?

Neiman Marcus and Barneys. I don't remember where you're from but I think you said SF so there's probably numerous small boutiques that carry them.

The print is very bold but fairly tasteful at the same time. I really like the fit too.

Was kinda disappointed in the shopping during my short trip to San Fran last week. Didn't really see much I wanted, even in the obscenely expensive shops where I could only pretend. Nobody carried jeans in my size. Bought a shirt at Bloomingdales and had to return it after finding a hole in the front. Uniqlo seemed bland as hell for the most part, although I got a SPRZ Keith Harring shirt that's nice and is perfectly sized for an XS, i.e. the correct fucking length which something I don't think any other tee manufacturer gets right.

Yohji Y-3 sneaks are pretty rad looking in person, I will say that much.

Yeah Uniqlo's collection right now isn't very exciting. Did you make it to MAAS & Stacks?

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Yeah, Maas seemed like a nice place, although it was mostly the same kind of stuff we were finding on the racks on Market St. Boyfriend was in the hunt for a new leather jacket, but he never found anything he liked. I got the impression a lot of this mid- and high-end clothing is designed either too intentionally gaudy/flashy/trashy or just simply dull without much landing in that "perfect style" category.

My own issues with the cost : actual value on this stuff is probably what keeps me from ever being able to fully buy into what these places are selling (both figuratively and literally, hah). Even if I could drop, like, $300 on a shirt and $1500 on a nylon jacket, I don't think I could justify it.

I haven't made it in myself, just looked at the brands online and it seemed neat. I'm having some trouble finding a store I really like around here too so I know where you're coming from

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Uniqlo is supposed to be dull. It's the place to go for cheap basics.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Uniqlo is supposed to be dull. It's the place to go for cheap basics.

Basically. I go there for everyday stuff like socks, underwear and oxford shirts rather than high-end stuff.

 

[giga]

You'll most likely end up disappointed if you shop without a specific goal of what you want.

 

[SkepticalPanda]

Please guys, I'm begging for your help. I saw this tie on an Instagram account and am dying to get it. Has anyone got any idea where it's from or where I can get something similar? Would appreciate any help!

Thanks bud.

I am now sad. I do not want to get that inferior quality new offering. I wanted the real thing.

Hey fashion gaf.

I need a pair of all purpose boots for my upcoming europe trip. Since i'm taking another pair just for various outdoor music festivals, i'll need something to wear: on the plane, walking around, dining, and clubbing. Essentially a delicate balance of comfort, aesthetics, and durability.

Had these possibly in mind. Yes/No? Suggestions for alternatives?

 

[Alucrid]

dries or geller?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

The bottom one, the fit on the top one looks pretty bad IMO.

They both look too big too.

 

[Illithid Dude]

always dries

 

[freenudemacusers]

how dark are your nips

 

[Marcovaldo]

whynotboth.gif

 

[Alucrid]

i thought you would know the color of them by now


also, i have to save some cash for the sales

 

[Marcovaldo]

you don't think one/both will make it to the sales? in that case go for the first one but both are nice and i don't think either are big at all going by the pics

 

[freenudemacusers]

i prefer the geller, w/b colorblock seems pretty make-it-to-sale friendly.

 

[freenudemacusers]

speaking of shirts my three alex mill shirts arrived (two dove grey, one white). they're basically hanes-but-better, though the shirts have a very nice slub texture that you don't really see in store photos. it's also a plus that the dove heather is 100% cotton vs a cotton/poly blend.

also I got them from unionmade; so far totokaeloman has the best packing I've yet encountered.

 

[Alucrid]

what's the neck opening like

 

[freenudemacusers]

slightly lower than the std hanes neck

 

[Alucrid]

looks good brah

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm not spending another dollar until sales. What kind of budgets you guys got set aside?

 

[Anton Sugar]

how dark are your nips

Speaking of, where can I find some nice, soft white t-shirts that AREN'T see-through?

/ethnicnipples

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Nice fit mac.

Close, neat neckline, good length sleeves that don't ride up at the sides (I hate the look of wonky diagonal sleeves on tees) and not too baggy.
