I should just charge it...

my friend kindly allowed me to try on his YYPH AW14 camo. Fabric is really really soft, and despite its cropped nature still has some drape. It's of course at least a size too small for me, and if I actually wore this out today I'd freeze. Zippers are insane! Got it at a steal price, but that's obviously relative since the US retail was ~ $2700 or so...

this is the best thread idea. here's a comme des garçons jacket i tried on a year ago at the barneys in SF. it's not super evident in this picture but there were large slashes and cutouts where my tee underneath peeked through. i loved it, but we weren't meant to be…



i'm working in NYC this summer so i'm sure i'll return to this thread many times~

(edit) i've never been (i visited the muji when i was interviewing in NYC but that was it)—will definitely visit once i'm there! here's to hoping i can find reasonable rent (lol)

graig spleen x champion sweatsuit

[quitter]

rebuild by needles jeans that are a sz36 and i'm a 30 but i was very close to buying them but i flipped a coin and the coin said no

also rebuild by needles but the jacket looks a little TOO "i'm homeless"-y

[tomsfood]

tom goes to new york and tries on clothes he can't afford and probably wouldn't even buy if he couldn't part two

gosha (actually i'd probably buy these sweats)


heckawheel this one was for you



cool wm pertex jacket in a consignment store



acronym jacket secondhand, feeling mad tactical


OG lang bubblegum pink sweatshirt, this one heavily tempting but had a few small holes and they were asking a lot

and the holy grail....

[station]

Met up with in Boston briefly! This philip lim poncho thing was so awesome in store! Really considering it... can't decide. The oversizedness was great and it was seriously channeling some 90s futuristic cloth blob style which I'm currently very fond of. Help care-tags; you're my only hope! (cop now, sale, or no-go?)

[thepinecone]

Went to New York over the long weekend, DSM and the Rick Store were fun, the UC lambskin suede pants are incredible, as are rick combats.

[AmericanPie]

Tried on a couple Geller pieces at Maas & Stacks/Acrimony today.





I may go back and buy this zip blazer.

Bonus:

[AmericanPie]

They were in stock at MAC. The guy there told me they'd bought four, and already sold 3.

[ramseames]

This season's voronois

cut seems like it might be even better. inseam length has been sorted out at least, they're actually 35" now as claimed.

shame no sand/tan/khaki/light brown/very off white though

[deadkitty]

this cottweiler tracksuit.... uuugh

[BIGBEE]

post the pic of me wearing the acr bag
(love)

[tomsfood]

just like the brian of caretags meetups past but with less stability

[BIGBEE]

YES
we have a pic of the old guy too

That old guy in the background was bragging about his acr collection to impoverished college kids

$8000 LV python skin bomber

wish i had taken more detail pics, shit was insane

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

yeah, i probably wouldn't have tried it on if the SA wasn't really nice and weirdly enthusiastic about it. felt like i nearly tore the lining putting it on, almost had a heart attack

[parastexis]

A Kind of Guise pink suede jacket.



I think I found the only piece left on the market. It's perfect and some how works with my flesh tone. Shout outs to

One of my top five favourite things about Care-tags dot org is stappard's selfie snarl

[pirxthepilot]

what did you make of the shop coat in the first picture? i like the look of ultra-lightweight summer coats but then feel self-conscious wearing one in the heat. also provides no benefit at all on chilly british summer evenings. is this what a FAKE CONCEPT is? still want it though

can you expand on that, i need enablement

[stappard_]

Really liked the shop coat but for £300 (even including 20% off they were doing this weekend) it was a stretch, its not exactly a complex bit of kit and its hard to see where that moneys going.

Price aside for a summer top layer its pretty ideal, in that I imagine it would make pretty much no difference in temperature being all linen while making you look like an old fashioned watchmaker or something (who else would need a linen shop coat? haberdashers, perhaps) which ticks both points on my two point summer top layer checklist.

Basically I really want it and will end up justifying it to myself somehow

[bels]

@perks lightweight layers are super real, I would claim they do keep you warmer than nothing (maybe in collaboration with a scarf), plus they allow you to stunt during higher temperatures that reduce lesser men to tshirts.

I have far more unlined lightweight outer layers than anything else.

I already have a summer scarf. Wicked practical. Don't even joke.

[Syeknom]

Lightweight outer layers are the be-all and end-all of summertime clothing fun

[IsaiahSchafer]

Tried some Sasquatchfabrix at Opening Ceremony. This is a medium and was hard to zip up, but roomy in arms. Super cool material and print though.

My one and only love Thom


Juun J+Moschino+other random pics


Had fun. They had KVA (they aren't getting anymore, shutdown confirmed),more DRKSHDW, Vivienne Westwood, CDG Play, HBA, Sand, Knomadik, some JP denim, and more brands I'm forgetting it was a lot

[Cowboy]

just a place called Traffic LA. There's this little menswear Hub on that street, had a DSQUARED2 Pop-up, Neiman, and a new place called Forty Five or something opening

This place has a huge stock of brands and stuff. Other place will have Dries and Maison and Balmain etc etc that this one is missing

[ynnrz]

was at someday store in melbourne with who was talking to the sa who then got this vis type-II from the back and basically stuffed it into my hands



you cant really see it in the lighting but there is some extremely nice realistic distressing all over the jacket

was too dazed by the sticker shock (1190!) to fully appreciate or even note the size of it at the time, but the whole idea of it is appeal more and more to me especially now that im on the hunt for a new denim trucker since the kapital century denim one I had has moved on

[schiaparelli]

Went to DSM NYC and tried on a Craig Green workwear jacket. Fell in love. They were sold out of my size. (I would've charged it.)
