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

[bels]

Would you wear it whilst being a parkour courier in the grim banileus of Paris-2? The shining white hood a symbol of the only incorruptible organisation that still exists in a Paris that has been removed from earth and now spins in geostationary orbit near antarctica?

[bels]

Brutal science fail on that geostationary near antarctica thing. Feel ashamed. Don't think there is an orbit that would be near antarctica

[germinal]

...now spins in geostationary orbit above Antartica-2: that remorseless frozen wasteland formed when causes unknown churned up a great aerosol cloud, whose shadow extinguished all living things that did not escape in time, or so we thought...

I was at the beverley hills barneys today and impulse bought this Thom Browne cat tie



I also saw Drake there.

Me: "Am I racist because I think all black people look like Drake?"

Girlfriend: "No, because that is Drake."

I actually really don't like Drake but I'll admit to being a little star struck. I asked his bodyguard if I could get a picture with him and he politely turned me away. I think I saw gwen stefani there too but I don't know because celebrities just kind of look like normal people in real life.

[Syeknom]

Sweet tie! Bit kitsch but not in a bad way at all.

Gwen Stefani is cooler than Drake.

Supreme ripstop button down



Fred Perry






does anyone remember that guy on reddit who only wore fred perry, and had the laurel wreath tattooed?

[Stingray Sam]

Laurel wreath tattoo and only wore Fred Perry? Was he kinda buff? I seem to remember a guy who i did jujitsu with for a little bit who dressed like that. Does anyone have pics, I might be confusing the two and thinking the guy I knew irl had a tattoo.

[bels]

Can't abide the Fred P logo. Too many connotations. I'd rather wear Polo and I don't want to wear that.

Is the ripstop ocbd made of... ripstop nylon? That sounds unwearable against skin.

[germinal]

How long until Murray brings out his line of polo shirts, that's what I want to know

[thomaspaine]

I would assume it's cotton in a ripstop weave.

I love the fred perry logo, but I guess I listen to a lot of skinhead music. I guess I could see how it'd be different for someone in England. Is it still seen as kind of chavy?

[can-]

the wreath doesn't mean too much in the states. funny because i actually was deciding between a fred shirt and a polo ralph shirt but felt like Fred was better.

[RycePooding]

Really like the rip stop shirt, but will probably go with the denim corduroy shirt instead, but probably won't get either. I did just buy my first supreme shirt and really dig it.

[thomaspaine]

Been searching for jogger / sweat pants that I like for almost a year now with no luck. Thinking about these BoO ones but as a bigger guy I don't know if the quilting will look dumb on me. Most of my experience with quilted stuff is quilted jackets which make me look really top heavy.

[germinal]

no way, they look kinda bad imo

[Syeknom]

Really thick black moleskin trousers, exceedingly soft and tough feeling. Rise comes up to my naval and the cut is slim.



Straighter fit, nice cotton and good details.



Very blurry photo, sorry. Not 100% sure I'll keep this - it looks like a thick winter coat but is actually incredibly light and thin. Would be wearable for decoration only, but it's very pretty. Best bit are the two side pockets that don't have any pockets - they're just holes. Ostensibly to allow you to reach into your trouser pockets with ease, but I think they're perv pockets.

[bels]

really light x thin outerwear is very powerful.

[Syeknom]

Good encouragement, cheers. Just wish the weather would manage to avoid being either excruciatingly hot or bitter cold and raining for once.

Considering the EF Trainer



But not sure how the suede is going to hold up from regular use.

[bels]

Will probably get beaten up right? But beat up suede can look nice on a sneak.

[sknss]

syek, if some pants had a rise that came up to your armpits, would you buy them? i think i would

dwindles, what are you concerned about? i've never had any problems with suede

[charybdis]

bela True. Never thought about it that way.

sknss I'm afraid the shoe will start to look bad if the suede starts wearing down, esp since I really beat up my shoes

[RycePooding]

I think it'll look good. I too am rough on my shoes, and I think beat suede in casual shoes is a cool look.

[can-]

AAS (always abuse suede)

[can-]

the real question is

what is EF?

[charybdis]

Emmerson Frye. They're generally inoffensive but not that interesting. I just dug the shoes when someone posted them in FFA.

[germinal]

i'm not digging that sole dwindles

syek: perv coat makes more sense in photos, i had a hard time picturing it when you were describing it. white buttons are very cool

[maj]

lexdray sao paulo sling, i mean it's p much the wtaps x porter sling, but half the price which in turn makes it essentially free. i have my nike bag but i find myself really gagging for a sling type but don't want to fork out 5-6 tonnes for an acronym, so 115/140 after shipping sounds pretty reasonable but i guess the fact i'm even asking means i have doubts. it is so sick.

[ramseames]

worth checking them out. Only linked that one specifically because it seems similar in size to the lexdray.

Also look at mainline porter stuff. they'll ship internationally from their JP site so you don't have to proxy.

all the briefing gear i've handled has been really impressive. muji makes something similar in black waxed canvas for budget option
