Anybody have any experience with OL off courts? I've been thinking about getting white leathers but was concerned about quality/sizing. I'm a 41-42 in CP and 9.5-10.5 in vans/nikes. Any input would be appreciated.

Does anyone know the piece used in yohji's fw15 women's show?

basic laundry question incoming: is a 'dry clean only' care label a strict rule or merely a suggestion?

i mean, its not a suit jacket or anything it's just a cotton t-shirt, it should be fine on a cold/delicate wash, right?

i might just assume it's the manufacturer trying to cover themselves, like those coffee cups that warn me of the hot liquid within

[bels]

If it's just cotton turn it inside out, set the machine to 30 hand wash, salute and go forth.

Next time ask yourself why you're buying a dry clean only t shirt.

does anybody know what's going on if i repeatedly get "transaction cannot be processed" warnings when i try to check out on ssense?

i tried checking out 4 times, made sure everything was filled out properly

So I bought a pair of derbies from Barny Nakhle and after about a week of wear, the soles started to peel off. So I already returned them and they repaired it. I just want to know whether this happened because it's not properly welted or it's not welted at all?

yea, the stitching i think connects the upper and mid soles. The nails are there to hold this piece of leather over the soles.
It's good to know that some high end brands use glue construction as well. Could you tell me which other brands uses glued construction?

[Vaeltaja]

[sick boy]

I'm pretty sure that stitching the midsole to the welt / upper and then gluing the sole on is standard procedure for crepe soles, wedge soles and the like.

Looking at leather button up shirts. Think I (17" shoulder, 36" chest) could fit into one that's 43 cm shoulder (16.9") and 48 cm chest (18.9")? Or think I need to look for 44/49?

Have you considered a leather button down shirt from goth j-crew

[pirxthepilot]

^ that is ridiculous on a £500 shoe. you're right margiela and others are cemented but i have side zips that are going strong after years, even my hmmms have stood up to a fair bit of wear.

Do shops on rakuten ship international or do you have to proxy?

can anyone with some linen gear from Muji comment on their satisfaction / sizing? qlo is sold out of all colors i want plus their shirts run long as hell on me, so i'm looking for alternatives.

[soko]

Muji linen drawstring pants in size small are fairly huge must be something like 32 waist but it can pull down to a 28 or 29 (my size). They are also extremely long at 34 inch inseam even after the first wash. I don't have linen shirts but I have a flannel and that fits v boxy and short. Love the pants though, I wear them a lot. Super baggy at first but they shrink a lot in the wash since they're 100% linen.

keep this coat or get rid of it?

sleeves are short

I could sell it for a profit pretty easily

[bird.in.flight]

Anyone got recs for a shawl collar cardigan, in brown, grey or olive, that uses a thinner yarn, so it can be worn under a jacket? Haven't seen anything from John Smedley, and Inverallan/Howlin by Morrison/etc are all too bulky - looking for something like this EG number

do jordans fit the same as normal nikes? specifically in regards to 4's, 6's, 3's, and 1's.

[mc-lunar]

'normal nike' is actually super bad to use as a sizing reference in my experience - in various trainers and runners throughout the years ive varied from like size 10 to size 11.5. doesn't help that everything has different soles and upper materials (flyknit, leather, cotton etc)

i'm the same size in 3's and 1's as i am in vans if that helps, same size as i am in BBall highs.

[JewTurk]

Those rain jackets/parkas with the one square pocket on the front? Name? Brand?

How does one dress professionally for a job in NYC summer? I'm heading over from California so I'm accustomed to dry heat, but I've never experienced heat with 90% humidity and rain.

The job is in fashion as well, so there's some possibility to wear cool garms and not only a suit.

[Vaeltaja]

I've got some derbies on the way I'm going to get resoled with crepe for a creeper sole. How tall should I go? The original George Cox were 3.5 cm or so, aim for that or go a bit shorter?

How do you successfully wear trainers without socks

EDIT: Aesthetically

[yoyobeat]

What do you think about longer-than-knee-length overcoats? How do you feel about their looks? Do you think they are impractical?

[une_impasse]

Do any of you have any garment racks recommendations? I'm moving into an room that is quite tiny (8' by 11') and I'm wondering if a garment rack is the way to go as most of my clothes are hung up, in garment bags etc.

[alby]

I'm not sure if I'd ever be interested, but how do visvim shoes fit? If I were to ever buy a pair I'd probably grab virgils or the folk boots. Size TTS?

Fit difference between Achilles and bball lows?
