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

[smiles]

tempted by this cute shirt


and these creepy shoes (sup disby)

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

I love both of those so hard.

[RycePooding]

Shirt is great, hate the smile on the toe of the teddy bears tho.

[hunnish]

smiles and i are gonna twin for halloween

[Syeknom]

Argh, why do I even look when I know I can't spend the money right now?





That rise

[smiles]

I have yohji pants exactly like that. bought them on a whim and they are kinda weird for me. you want 'them?

[Syeknom]

Could certainly be tempted: how much roughly? Any fit pics with them?

Edit: can pm me if you'd rather

[smiles]

oh, i didnt pay much for them, not worth selling. Just sending them on

[Syeknom]

Shit, say what? For real? That's certainly massively interesting - all the more so because we'll be in HK in 2 weeks!

Got any more info on them? YYPH/Y's? Material? Size?

(Also if you happen to know anywhere in HK to find yohji stuff other than Y-3 do share)

[smiles]

yyph, gab, size 3 with drawstring, short inseam, massive rise.

joyce has current season yohji and there are some consignment shops that carry it.

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

You lucky B.

EDC dudes:

what are some reasonable and nice bottle opening solutions?
'
i carried something like this:


through high school and college but they always get stripped and at this point I'd like something slightly less obvious.

I've had this makr bottle opener key for about a year:


but it kind've sucks dick and i've fallen out of love with it.

I have a carabiner i'm attached to but would consider a bottle opener carabiner if it looks and feels good.

I like atwood stuff but getting your hands on it seems like trying to cop supreme gear

[starfox64]

whats wrong with the makr one? i've been eyeing that for a minute

[UnwashedMolasses]

Makr one seems like it'd be a bitch to open with with only one point of contact and all the leverage parallel with it.

cameron-, I've been eyeing the Corter Bottlehook for this purpose for a while.

A heads up, apparently the paint on the painted varieties chips off very easily.

[RycePooding]

I have the corter one and love it a lot. It's black. Hasn't chipped at all and I've had it for a couple months now.

[soundclip989]

EG yes/no?

Thoughts on the Outlier Nyco Freeshell? I've been thinking about picking up some kind of hooded rain jacket. Theoretically something that I could bike even though biking in the rain sounds awful no matter what. I'm usually not really into technical jackets or anything Northfacey (sorry ben) because they're so saturated here.

[bels]

Jacket is sort of whatever tech, is it permeable? I have a lightweight running jacket that I wore when I used to think cycling in the rain was a reasonable way to get around, but even in minimal drizzle it wet through on my arms and my shirt sleeves got wet.

I dunno what the fuck the deal is with cycling in the rain x arriving not a mess. I sort of formally gave up on the idea of bike as wet weather transport and now either walk or drive car.

[thomaspaine]

Body is Schoeller dryskin and sleeves are their Nyco fabric (50/50 cotton nylon blend) with dwr coating. I don't think it would be any good in a real downpour but light rain should be fine and is all I really need. I mean my current solution when it rains is to wear a hooded sweatshirt, and maybe a harrington jacket over it. Umbrella if I really planned ahead.

[can-]

the outlier softshell looks good. i'm skeptical about the length and cut and hood but those are all things you can only judge when you get your hands on it.

definitely better than the last iteration with the paneling.

[kill-9]

these sunglasses

does the shape work for me? these are 52mm widths, I might need the 55mm ones

[charybdis]

I dig the sunglasses kill-9.

soundclip jacket looks cool. I would do it.

[RycePooding]

Bigger sunglasses are always better, but they look good to me. Sounclip, you know the answer.

[RycePooding]

Outlier has the sexiest models.

[deadkitty]

been wanting some straight cut jeans. dana lee dad jeans or new standards?

[RycePooding]

I love my new standards so much, APCs just fade into such a nice color. Can't go wrong with Dana though.

[can-]

apc jeans are the officially sponsored care-tags Jean, however the correct answer is probably whichever one fits you better.

[starfox64]

don't the dad jeans have a much fuller cut than new standards? i guess if you went tts with ns they'd be fuller, but i don't really think of the two as being very similar.

[deadkitty]

I think I want dad jeans but I can get ns for like $20 on rak
