[King Calder]

just went to the soho 45r store for the first time this past weekend and it's one of the coolest stores I've ever seen.

Blue in Green?

chcm, nepenthes, noah, 18 east, bode, 3sixteen, drake's, j. mueser, stoffa

I think the stoffa pop up location in soho is done.

Raggedy threads and Stock Vintage for vintage clothing.

Planning a late October trip to NYC. What retail should I add to this list? Any vintage recs?

Self Edge, 45R, ALD, Armoury, NMWA, Ralph, Stone Island...?

I highly recommend Blue in Green and Standard & Strange (which is right near ALD). Also, while you are in this area, check out INA which is a really great designer consignment shop with a lot of men's stuff. Schott and 3sixteen are also really close and definitely worth a look.

How does one size Birk Bostons?

Plan plenty of time for ALD if you go. I tried twice and the line to get in was too long.

One of these days I need to go to NYC alone. I missed so many great shops while I was there with my family

Same as Nikes for me.

I went my brannock size on bostons and took the narrow width (I’m a D ok brannock)

for nyc vintage I like Crowley but he is in Brooklyn so not sure if it will be out of the way

How does one size Birk Bostons?

I’m an 8.5 Brannock (9.5 in most sneakers) and I took the 41 in the Bostons. They fit correct without socks, maybe a touch small with thicker socks. I wear a 42 sometimes in other brands (Yuketen Sal 1 for instance) but the 42 Boston was definitely too big.

does ippudo ramen in NYC still wear EG uniforms?

Literally planning a day and half by myself before I meet a friend for non-clothing nerd stuff.

How does one size Birk Bostons?

I went a size down. I'm an 8D brannock and I am a 40 in the Boston.

 

[Reginald Bartholomew]

So Brannock, or down 1 from Brannock, or go up to Nike sizing.
