I don't know what I want (Buyer's guide)

[ramseames]

you probably won't be happy with the cut of anything milsurp if you want them to be heavily tapered. you can cinch good ones in with the ankle strings but its not really the same. ditto for hiking brands

i'd just buy commuter cargos if you really want something cheap

[IsaiahSchafer]

J brandos can get well cheapy on sale, jolly taper right to the ankly bits. (maj pls proofread)

(I have two pairs of troopers btw, size down if you get them despite the lies customer service tells you)

[papabear]

Any recs for backpacks like muji backpacks but in light grey?

[klonopin]

So I deffo want black leather vans for summer and beyond, but none of the options are perfect.

There's the Opening Cemeony pair which are monochrome and have crocodile embossed leather, which are plusses, but they're also twice as much as the mainline Vans pairs and i have mixed feelings about OC's box logo (although this is almost definitely the pair if money was no issue): http://www.openingceremony.us/products. ... EN%27S%206

Then there's the mainline Vans options. One has the embossing (a weave pattern that I don't like as much as the OC crocs, but still) but then it has while soles :(. (http://www.vans.com/shop/mens-shoes-cla ... ck-leather) An the other is totally monochrome with no embossing at all which is fine, if a little boring (http://www.vans.com/shop/mens-shoes-cla ... black-mono)

thoughts? insults? suggestions? donations?

What are my options for tiny bags? I like this one from Gregory but eh buying from rak

[bels]

I got this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A ... detailpage

I got it in black though.

It's cool because the fold over nature of the strap means you can strap a coat in there.

The whole "wear it over your shoulder" concept is fake though. Shit rolls round.

I would robocop a minibag I could strap a jacket to which also had a stabiliser strap.

[yoyobeat]

[can-]

tighten the strap so it doesnt roll around?

[bels]

If there's any weight difference it'll roll around. Probably fine if you're standing still but walking about or biking will move it

Whilst looking for a stap-man-bag I found this which isn't a bad looking helmet bag type bag if someone is looking

what brand makes the best cheap 7" poly shorts?

[klonopin]

@windowflowers

yeah you're totally right but I realized i have too many pairs of black shoes with white soles and that what i really want is a totally monochrome shoe. Now I just have to reason whether or not crocodile is worth $50.

[ramseames]

My porter bag never shifts around if you have it tightened up properly, no idea what you guys are on about.

going to buy this hat (?)





real mccoys


@hecka, yeah i want denim, not ecru, and also i can't try on the time cap and trying on caps before i buy them is important to me.

[pirxthepilot]

lowering the tone, but can anyone recommend 'no show' socks that actually stay on and prevent me getting hideous blisters from my derbies?
(you need to deliver here, or you'll be seeing more of those roshes)

Recently copped six pair of:

Not tried them in anger yet but you can trust marks.

I've heard good things about these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321427694332? ... EBIDX%3AIT

[thephfactor]

I want but my feet are a US size 12.5. What's the closest I can come in vegan to the clean and sexy midsole of this shoe?

[harmsalmon]

is it ludicrous to buy this navy NOMA T.D. long coat even though I already have that HW Carter sorta-long chore coat in navy?





it does have that awesome pattern/cool removable hood & soutien collar, and it is substantially longer than my HW Carter... and I do really like it but idk if it would just be superfluous??

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

cote & ciel isar or nile???? help me decide

[asianfuntime]

need some recs on black high tops with white soles $100-$350

very broad category, I just want to see any sort of high top in the price range

[pk!]

Looking for mid or hi tops that are really slim in the throat and are ankle strapped. Right now I think these converse are really the most ideal thing so far, which is weird.


Any ideas? I'd like to avoid buying converse, but it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.

Edit: no Af1s.

[ramseames]

Air flytop

No clue where you'd get a pair thou

[harmsalmon]

don't worry everyone I bought the coat :^)

[Vaeltaja]

I wanna get some derbies and creeperify them. TUK and George Cox don't have what I'm looking for.

How about these guys? Fiorentini + Baker 706 derbies.



Would buy second hand and such for better deals since the resole is gonna take at least $50. If anyone has other models/ideas for me that'd be great. Not really into RW Postmans though.

[posh_somme]

I'm looking for some kind of jacket similar to (image in spoiler) I guess but maybe a little bit cheaper? Corduroy, twill, not too fussy on material. I've seen the hidden zip OL jacket from this season and I don't think that's quite what I'm looking for either

[michaelmao]

can anyone pls pls pls lead me to a pair of these acgs!!! i've fallen in love

[lyysander]

I was thinking about getting this Our Legacy denim tee, but it's a pretty hefty cash drop for me. Does anyone know of something similar but in a lower price range?

[MrStuffyStuff]

does anyone know where I can find some sandals with a ripple sole?

Maybe something like this sandal. I found it on the ripple sole topic
