Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

Excuse me if this has been discussed recently, but can anybody recommend a proxy service for buying from South Korean webshops? The shop I am looking at does not offer the "PayPal solution" as some do.

KoreanBuddy is great. They just bill you for the actual amount and you don’t have to load money onto an account.

I had a great experience with KoreanBuddy too. Recommended.

What is being proxied from Korea these days? I know they have a local fashion scene but I didn't know it was big outside their country so kinda curious.

I picked up some great stuff from Frizmworks about a year ago. Long oversized raincoat ("Oversized balmacaan coat") and wide chinos ("OG Regular chino pants") have been favourites, and amazing value.

Frizmworks for me as well. It’s essentially a Beams Plus/Nigel Cabourn option that’s high quality and more reasonable price.

I have one pair of his jeans in super heavy denim, and they are just just a biiiit tight, which I just don't do now, so they never get worn. That said, these look great. Sorta like a hybrid between jeans and gi pants, but with zipped pockets that are along the seam of a pleat.

Even baggier? Those are bordering on skinny

I tried on a bunch of Matias at AB Fits, and got some denim. It's really interesting stuff, wish more folks talked about them on here

I got my pair at the old Archive SF location. Sadly, they are just not my fit right now. I think that at this point, I would need a size larger, and probably would do 2 larger just for that loose fit. Expectations change, and in 2022, I just can't deal with constricting jeans.

So only after moving to NYC from Kyoto like 5 months ago, I am moving to a new hotel job in LA. NYC was interesting but I think work sucked, and although LA isn't perfect, it at least has nice weather. I am soon going to be Mr.Worldwide
