well these are my white achilles lows, they're pretty beat imo. I might clean them up soon, I'll post another photo if and when I do

Holy shit, they look ready for the bin. I couldn't wear trainers that scruffy personally.

This is the current condition of my trusty Adidas mid-cuts, third year of wear and still going strong:

Could do with a clean, I like 'em looking crisp.

Oh yeah, definitely. Converse All-Stars look good beat up. But I dunno, there is a fine line between artfully distressed and just kind of gross.

Funnily enough I just got rid of a pair of trainers today, four years had taken their toll, they were beyond redemption.

random note: legit lols from seeing Barneys' Givenchy window display with all that incredibly tacky screenprinted Jesus clothing. It's giving me great enjoyment walking past that on the way to work every day

The change in givenchy in just a few years is remarkable.

Lol yikes bro take a baby wipe to them at least!

actually been planning on getting one of those magic eraser things and giving it a shot

NinjaBoiX · May 21, 2016

Bought a new watch today, sixth for the collection and my first Seiko:

Will probably join rotation with my Nixon and Nautica as a semi-everyday wear. My white Adidas is my work watch (a bit beat up now), my red Diesel only works with certain outfits and my Raymond Weil is for special occasions only.

Anth0ny · May 21, 2016

white shoes get fucked up real easily, at least where I live. I can't even walk to the bank without them getting all marked with shit.

it's why I haven't invested in a pair of CPs yet. i'd probably be too scared to wear them outside lol. white converse are $60 canadian. fuck em up? just buy a new pair, no big deal.

You guys and your dirty shoes.

Raff Simons got you covered. Just 400$ or whatever.

I like fashion, but sometimes it's a bit shameful what they come up with.

EmptyCanO'wupass · May 21, 2016

Pulled the trigger on the achilles in white. Shouldn't get too dirty with the weather here (I hope).

Probably be the last really nice thing I pick up for a little while.

Can anyone identify Ryan Gosling's sunglasses in The Nice Guys?

Edit: I think I found it, or something similar at least. Ray-Ban Caravan.

I have a pair of Riviera espadrilles but I gotta mix it up a bit. Perhaps a second pair of espadrilles.

I've stopped buying any clothing that doesn't have at least some python on it.

Picked this up during on sale at ssense, always need a good light denim for the summer

I usually don't like them (just not for me), but that one is nice.

freenudemacusers · May 23, 2016

I need to get myself another chambray shirt. Hopefully with python of some kind.

worldwideGAF: Everlane doing international shipping for two weeks. Take advantage of that dollar and get a few bargains

giga · May 24, 2016

FYI huckberry has rivieras espadrilles on sale. As low as $60

The mesh ones aren't a deal though as Mr Porter has those regularly for $75.

jesalr · May 25, 2016

Been asked to be best man at my friends wedding. Theme is navy and gold, and he wants to wear a vest/waistcoat in navy with a gold tie.

Trying to convince him to wear a jacket too, but we'll see.

Any brands you guys think are suitably dressy for such a thing?

Think he wanted sub $800 all told

giga · May 25, 2016

Wait he wants to wear a suit, but not the jacket?

Yep.....

Again, working on the jacket

Pinewood · May 25, 2016

What is the consensus on faux leather jackets? I want something with the leather look, but dont want to spend over 100...

Probably getting a bomber too, the ones I looked had navy and black, but black seems the more versatile version right?

freenudemacusers · May 25, 2016

I'd aim for some kind of waxed cotton but I've heard h&m does a pretty good fake leather number. That said there's nothing like thee real thing.

Re: color, both are good to go but if you wear street stuff, sneaks jeans and tees black is probably better. I personally opted for black pants and blue outerwear for my daily casual uniform.

they can look alright, but in my experience they don't last. That's for a traditional leather finish, anyway, I have a sort-of-suede (and by that I mean not really close to suede I just don't know how to name it, it's just like matte and sort of textured) finished one that's doing very well

yeah I think that's it.

also these look better after baby wipes

they'd look even better but I lost my spare set of laces

anyone have any recommendations for good laces for CP's?

Looking good!

For comparison (after a few days of breaking in):

I've heard just giving the laces a hot wash cycle in a delicates bag gets them pretty clean.

Please talk me out of buying this
