oh hey i know that writer.
looks like the piece got taken down. im kind of surprised. i thought it was a valid point, although maybe targeting one person wasn't a good approach?
i've encountered some racial ambivalence also while talking to some designers/writers. i once had someone get really upset that i even brought up the subject, even though it was the whole point in us talking in the first place.
**edit: just fyi i don't want to get into a whole thing about it. peace homies piece!

as a sidenote i once sold a sheepskin coat and an ma-1 to paolo roldan. there was a moment where i mistakenly confused him for errolson hugh and he told me he'd done modelling work for acronym. that was cool. even gave me his email, told me to hit him up if i was ever in fake canada. that was probably the only good part about working at the real mccoy's, getting to meet famous people.
anyway, it's just cool to see him blowing up, doing dope shit.

It's the in Dotaland!
I don't know if I should feel bad for hating James' tie and/or sweater.
Update, a few days later: Guess I won't have to see it anymore.

Adverts like this make me think, who are these people who buy current season pieces and stick them straight up for sale on Grailed? I mean the advert even says it was only bought last week, cant you just return it like normal people do?

Right so as he mentioned earlier I was the guinea pig for the Mystery Fun Present™. Anyways I had gotten a refund on a an item so I had $60 sitting in my PayPal and saw his post about his Mystery Fun Present™ I figured I should jump on the opportunity as there are a bunch of Japanese brands that I love. We discussed a bunch of stuff about what types of brands I was interested in and what types of items I would want. I didn't really want anything besides stuff like some light jackets and shirts since I'm rather picky with what pants I buy. But as we continued to discuss things I showed some interest in some baggy pants as its on my list of things to purchase. Well I got my package today and I couldn't be more happy it was definitely worth the money. In my package I got a couple different tee's from different brands, two jackets and a pair of pants(also some candy and a very nice note).Here's an album of everything that I got and the package, it was quite large and I can see why shipping was as much as it was but seeing how much I got and how difficult it would be to find some of the stuff here in the US made it worth it to me. Some of the pictures ended up upside down somehow but that's alright I think since you can mostly make out what's in there. I now have a small collection of Neighborhood as well from all he sent me and a BDU jacket I got in today too.
also proxied me a North Face Purple Label Daypack and is also helping me out by keeping an eye out for a WTAPS BDU jacket for a decent price. So his helpfulness is amazing. This post feels like I'm shilling a little bit but it was such a great experience and I'm super happy with everything and will most likely be doing this again in the future when I replenish some funds.
Edit. I will answer all questions about it that I can as well.
yep everything for $60 plus shipping.
Get in touch with trasparenti I believe he will be setting up a thread soonish with more info on everything.
List of Everything I got:

this is really sick but "cutting out the middle man" in any form makes me cringe after seeing too many american techbros looking 2 disrupt the fashion industry.
mac and harrington look banging for the ££££££££££ if patrick isn't lying to me

I heard about this project a while ago and I'm pretty sure it's legit. The straight fit jeans look like they might be the same as the e tautz pair I have, which are pretty nice. It does basically look like the ultra boring/dadcore side of patrick grant though. Even if it's good value for money it's hard to get excited about a standard fit navy mac.Still cool though

Wait a second he said the harrington is waterproof? Is it coated cotton or some kind of knock off ventile? Either way £80 is a fucking steal for a harrington with some kind of water resistance.

friend came to visit the other day wearing a vexed generation parka i gave him in... 2002? despite hard and continuous wear (i think it's his only coat, and he has a young son) the thing still looks really good. nobody gonna be saying that about paul harnden in 13 years i guarantee it.
he lives in brighton and apparently the woman who ran vexed also moved there after quitting the game, she approached him once and said it was nice to see her clothes still being worn.

Did she really quit the game? I spend some time wondering what the vexed designers are doing now. I assumed "consulting" for some ludicrous fee.
I thought Vexed Generation was two male designers (Adam Thorpe and Joe Hunter)... wait a second.. Adam And Joe????
why did you give away a vexed generation parka to someone anyway.
Also why did you pick paul harnden as your fall guy.
Also your friend ill? People with children often carry a lot of sickness, maybe that's why you're ill now.

here's the link to that blog i was photographed for. he added a few more pictures and i feel like a real cool dude.
http://unevenbata.blogspot.jp/2016_03_01_archive.htmlfor what it's worth I've completely cut back on my Grailed usage since I left America. The selection isn't bad but that offer mechanic killed me. If I had a dollar for every unpaid offer I received, I'd never have to sell anything ever again.
