Bam, you've ordered from TBS before right? What's the import charge like, if it exists?
In my experience none, they mark down to almost nothing. $300-$400 sneakers marked as $50.

I'm probably picking up CP lows, only marked down to $320 but still better than $400. I might wait if there's a sale coming up but I don't know how I would check that
What I meant to say is that they mark down the product for customs/duty fees/charges. You probably will only get hit if they mark the product as being valued over $200 bucks or so. Anything below that and you probably won't get hit. TBS marks the product, shoes in this example, at $50 value even though they go for 10 times that in some cases.

Speaking of which I've had my eyes on the CP derbys.

by the way, no on the fur collars but maybe on the AW08 invitations. RG likes to keep five copies of each invitation for his archives. My guy is asking if they have any extras.
I'm going to ask about white jeans guys. I wanted to change up from the usual, tired of the black and blue. I'm talking about white jeans, slim fitted of course, with a red striped golf shirt and white shoes. I looked in a thread about white jeans on Neogaf, which was made a few years ago, but a lot of people seemed fashion illiterate or just dismiss it right away, because white jeans belong on women apparently. Is white jeans on men taboo?

Getting a pair of those Saint Laurent biker jeans before the next summer is a current life goal. What's the cleaning process for pants like that?

White jeans are for guys who like to go to themed raves.
Take them to a trusted dry cleaner.

Will have to find one as I'm about to move, denim/leather combination is beyond my comfort zone 
Uniqlo's site is brilliant and I wish more worked like it. Easy to find what you want due to detailed groups and every piece of clothing has high res pictures that load near instantly.

Except they list multiple of the same exact item because their system is so dumb it can't suppoty more than a fixed amount it colors. You never know if you've seen all the colors available.

Only if he jogs in the leather pants.

The initial press release a few weeks ago didn't specify any distinction between the items, so as it turns out the only things I liked from the collection are from the women's dept. God fucking dammit.

Men only get a hoodie, basic sweatshirt, an ugly zip-up jacket, and some sweatpants.

Women have more interesting tops and outerwear
The sweatshirt with the bottom cutout I wanted was showing in the women's section earlier this morning, now it's nowhere to be found on the site at all.

The jacket in the header of the men's page?
Also nowhere to be found on the site. There are different things appearing and disappearing every time I look. This launch is a mess.

You mean this one? http://www.uniqlo.com/us/product/women-urban-sweat-long-sleeve-pullover-140403.html#03|/women/featured/urban-sweat/tops/|
Bombers might be in-store only. May as well head on in. I'll be going after work to probably grab a hoody or something.

Yeah, that's the one. :\ Side view shows that the cut would definitely not work for a guy, unfortunately.

That sucks... Of course the other version of that sweater is for kids. I was hoping the snood top was for both, but that's for women as well.
Still, here's hoping that there will be some mediums in the hoodies (probably) when I get off work and go to Union Square...
Can't decide what color though still...

Both are very nice, URL?

There were tons of mediums in everything when I was there, fwiw
they're all sold out, most of the stuff was pretty boring. will just wait and pick up that +j suit when that releases
I couldn't wear it, but Kanye does well with his outfits. Gotta give him credit.Brehs,
I need Kanye's 'jacket' asap;

Sounds good and thanks.
I need opinions on some shoes. Mostly looking for versatility, and was thinking about getting these. Currently I've got beeswax desert boots, these (I like them, but they're too minimalist for most of the clothes I own), and these shitty ass shits.
Mostly my problem is I don't have anything to wear with black or grey pants/accessories. Anyway, here's what I'm looking at right now. Do any of these look particularly good, or any other suggestions around this price range? I could potentially go up to $100, but if I keep prices low I might be able to buy two pairs.
$65
$55 (down from $90)
$63 (down from $90)

Ann Demeulemeester SS15?
First pair of unbranded jeans came in today, glad I waited and sized down because these fit way better than the other size I tried on at Nordstrom. Still a little room in the waist but not too loose at all. Going to give these a soak first to see if I an get a little shrink out of them. Length isn't too bad with a double cuff but not sure if I like how it looks yet. So far, for $80 they seem like a solid pair of selvedge denim.

Picked up the grey hoody from Uniqlo and I dig that the hood unzips. Once unzipped, the top reminds me of a sailor top, though not sure if that makes sense.
Bring on the +J collection. I'm ready for fall.
