Posting for new page. Both are Visconti XL bags.Which color would you guys recommend, especially to go with a charcoal pea coat?
What are your guys' opinions on shorts that have a ~5.5" inseam?
I personally prefer the top one, but I'm not sure how well it'd go with a charcoal peacoat. Do you have a picture of it?
I'd personally still go with the first one.

Took me 3 hours to iron all my shirts tonight.
Tried using my fabric steamer and it took even longer per shirt.

i dig the new rick runners but I tend to skid my heel on shit frequently and I feel that would just be... not good for that kind of shoe lol.

Someone told you that they only wear clothes if they're made by Rick Owens?
That's really sad, and I don't believe them.

How many here buy items from retail stores outside of big sales? I'm always terrified of going into Nordstroms or Saks, spending a bunch on something and then realizing it's half off on some random website the next week. Always nice to actually try stuff on though, especially for shoes. Have a full size difference between my left and right foot which can be frustrating.

I shop retail every so often, it's nice to fondle new shit and check shit out in person. I'm not balla tier so it has to be something unique or fulfilling for me to cop at full price.

I've definitely bought things and then found them for much less online. You just gotta live and let live when it comes to that. Besides, if I only saw the item online, often times I wouldn't have even bought it, rendering the price difference moot. My leopard print teddy bomber, for example, was a total impulse buy, and if I didn't try it on at the store I would have never purchased it. I saw it for a few hundred less online a week later, but it wouldn't have mattered if I only saw the online price because I would never have purchased it anyways.

Thanks for the advice. Amazon UK had those on stock. Bye bye tax returns!

I really like that sweater.
Oh right. As a fan of Rick Owens I assumed by "rick" you meant "rick owens" as in "someone who only wears rick owens". Sounded kind of ridiculous and frankly not true. Apologies!
What did you mean out of curiosity?

I saw a really lush Tommy Hilfiger leather jacket in TK Maxx last week; great fit and the leather was so soft and smooth. It was marked down from £470 to £150, I probably would've bought it if not for the admittedly tiny Hilfiger flag in the middle of the shoulders.Fondled Balenciaga and Philip Lim leather backpacks last night. madeahugemistake.gif

I dunno, looked kind of showy to me even as small as it was. Plus, I have it in my head that Hilfiger gear doesn't exactly scream "fashionable".

hilfiger collection has some cool shit every now and then. I have never seen it in a store tho.
I want some boots badly. Especially for camping sometimes. I'm kinda broke though.
Should I just go with Bean Boots because they're somewhat affordable? In terms of other boots really only Iron Rangers come in my size (I have super small feet) and I don't know if I can justify dropping 300 dollars on a pair of boots at this point in my life.

That's a good way to justify in my head, because often times being at a store is how I discover something interesting I never would have come across otherwise. Although generally I just go to try on jean fits.
Really disappointed though, had a Nordstroms open 10 minutes from where I live which I was really excited about as the other one is downtown which is a 40-60 minute drive. Went in and the men's section was tiny, they didn't carry many brands(No Naked/APC/Acne/one Rag and Bone fit) and the shoe section was completely indistinguishable from Macys. Maybe I've just been spoiled by what I think Nordstroms is because the galleria store seems like it might be a flagship given they carry tons of designer brands not listed online. Bought a pair of Nudies that were on sale as I fucked up my other blue pair. She said they'd be getting APCs in eventually but oh well. Certainly not going to compare to the other store any time soon.
What's the best place to order a pair of Common Project shoes?

online? I like totokaelo, but thecorner and ssense have good selections; have never ordered from ssense so I can't say anything about packaging/etc.
Chance Hale
Member
I've never ordered a pair so I just wasn't sure if they were slightly cheaper one place or the other(ie, does one charge tax/shipping). Never had problems with thecorner but the other stores are new to me. Would assume they all at least take some care in their packaging given the cost of the goods.

I got mine from TBS and it was very easy, that 20% discount for being in the US doesn't hurt either
freenudemacusers
Member
20% discount hmmmm. duties tho?
looking around thecorner has the lowest prices, but their selection is hit or miss IMO.
thezerofire

apparently they mark the stated sale price down to like $50 to avoid duties. I didn't get hit with any, anyway
SSENSE packaging was nothing special but they have very good customer service from my past experiences
Bam Bam Baklava

ssense and mr porter are so popular they never have any reason to cut prices or offer anything special. Sure they have sales but even then the best stuff is gone when it's 10% off.

If you had just listened to me mac you would have been shopping at TBS and reaping the benefits. But instead you went out and got hurt.

Anyone have the Glossy CPs?
Kind of like them but feel like they might look a bit cheap at a glance. Otherwise I'll probably just go with the mids.
Tres Bien discount is nice though, the glossy pair above come out to 384 as compared to 480 on ssense. Latter has way more color options though.
freenudemacusers

I have those in regulardude leather; more than anything I like them cuz of the shaft height and extended tongue. goes with everything. depending on what you wear, high gloss might be limiting, imo.
Chance Hale
Member
Yeah, I'm just going to go with the regular leather because now that you mentioned it the gloss will limit the options a bit. Do they run pretty standard? They don't seem to have a 9 in stock so my options are between 8.5 and 10. I have mutant feet that are a full size difference apart so I just like to be careful. One foot usually suffers though

i'm a 9/42 in everything and these fit like they should. all cp's do IMO but I ran into a weird aberration with a pair of perforated summer achilles and needed to go up a size.
Chance Hale
Member
Great, thanks. Ordered the 43s so hopefully they fit well enough, nothing is ever perfect though given the difference. One day I will be able to buy two pairs of everything and finally be at ease The more lucrative job's contract got downsized at the last minute though so unfortunately I still have to somewhat sensible at the moment.

They come out to 348 at Tres Bien, not that it really matters at that point
I feel you though, I'm working full time now in a job with lots of overtime so I can save up more money to finish college while not working(nursing school is tough) but it was one nice pair of jeans a year not too long ago. Probably shouldn't be buying clothes at all, but I need something to get me through the week Some popular options:
Red Wing Beckman / Gentleman Traveler
Red Wing Iron Rangers
Wolverine 1000 Mile
The quality of all of these are good. Not sure how well they breath though.
I'm looking to buy something like these, but my budget is only around $100 canadian. Can I find anything at that price in Canada? Should I wait until black friday or christmas?
freenudemacusers

they tend to go on sale, around $220 or so IME, but that's double your number. I don't know what's out there in canadaland for a hundo, but if you dig around stores you can probably find something ok.
