John Elliott - official affiliate thread

Just received my Vandals from ssense and upon unboxing, I notice what look like white scratches on the shoe. I've never had a sneaker made with this material but am assuming this isn't typical. Did anyone else see this on theirs?

Any word on the places that still have the wool stadium still in stock (size medium)?

Ideally looking for a place that has comparative pricing to JE and a 10-15% off coupon. I noticed Roden Gray still has it but the conversion isn't too favorable and I would have to pay tax.

Alright guys. In order to keep the conversation on topic, I'm going to move the wallet talk (my posts included) to a new "Wallet thread - what do you carry?" thread in a sec. I'll post the link here in a bit.

Cheers,

Fok.

In John Elliott talk - I like the Sail Vandals. They are my first pair of Nikes for casual, non-workouts since about 2006, and it's like Back to the Future for me.

Non JE related question. I'm looking to buy my first pair of common projects chelsea boots. Is there any difference between the tan cw and the sand cw? The sand cw is almost always sold out in my sz but both look very similar.

Look at the color code on the side of the shoes, if the codes match then they are the same

What is you guys' opinion on the polartec halfzip? Really interested in picking it up? Is it thin/breathable enough to be worn in around 60F weather? I live in Florida we have a cold front right now. It's in the 60's but in the sun you're sweating. We only have 2 cold months here where it drops below 50 and even close to the 30s.

Oh and anyone aware of any Mr Porter discounts? (US)

I have 2 one-time us 10% codes for NIKE that can both be used for one purchase.

lets see one of the outfits u wear with the SLP teddy, i dont think i have seen u wear and post it here.

I'm packing today for a work trip, so I had to do this anyway but I haven't actually worn these fits out yet. I feel like these are all different use cases for me which makes the jacket so versatile. I feel like the flash part only comes in when you know the jacket, how much it runs, etc. Here's a few fits, all paired with various JE in something I'd wear throughout the day traveling, or to a daytime event, and finally something a little more evening/dinner appropriate.

What color or model are those SLP chelsea's?

I live in northern Florida. It can get very chilly here during the winter months. Today I wore my Bogota with an ae underneath and it felt totally fine.

South Florida is different. It doesn't really get hotter there than it does here; it just stays hot year round. Here north/central where I live it can get chilly. We've even had 30s during January, sometimes Feb/Dec.

PS: Easy for you to say! I'm tired of wearing tees/denim all the time. Yea I got nice pairs of the Cast 2 and JE tees but I want to layer jackets and hoodies. Hoodies layered under jackets for the really cold moths; un-zipped jackets over a tee for the cool months. I'm just curious if the Polartec half zip would be fine un-zipped over a tee. It also gets very windy in the winter months thats where majority of the cold comes from.

Thoughts on Ebisu VS Escobar sweats, which are better or alternatives from other brands priced similarly? Looking for something comfortable to travel in but not look sloppy.
