Reminds me a little of the margiela travel jacket

this coming from the man who refuses to button his coat because culture??!?

THE culture

That's the piece that got me excited. But how would you get things out? Doesn't seem practical to take your jacket off everything you need access to your bag.

Not even that, but like, imagine sitting down with a backpack on. It would be crazy uncomfortable. You'd lean back and just smash your peanut butter & jelly sandwich into your stupid jacket.

I'm not wrong to think that regular t shirts should be the same length all the way around? It's not a polo or a button down. Picked up some Ts I got hemmed, because I'm short and fat, but the front of the shirts are a good 1-2" shorter than the back. Just junky Uniqlo Ts I can throw out, wanted to replace them with COS supimas anyways.. but I'm wondering why they thought this.

Vintage tees (80s and earlier) were cut this way, most modern tees are square.

You got a tee hemmed??

 

[Roygbivuxg]

longer back hem = less tee-riding-ass effect?

Are there any Chinese or Korean websites like yahoo auctions jp or rakuten that are worth visiting?

There is an insane amount of people lined up around my work area this morning, all looking very "hypebeasty"...it looks like a Supreme or retro Jordan release (which I'm used to seeing normally, living in a major city). This seemed weird because there are none of those shops around me - turns out the Supreme x Louis Vuitton pop-up is right around the corner. Anyway, the point is that as I surveyed the crowd, there are WAY too many young people in line. Like, they look like juniors/seniors in high school. Which is nothing out of the ordinary, but from what I've heard, the Supreme x LV collabo is pretty damn expensive...or normal LV pricing. Where are all these young bucks getting the cash to buy? My first thought was rich parents, but I can't apply that to everyone. Maybe they are just planning to buy a key chain or something small then flip it? I dunno.

I'm thinking of watching the **** show live when I get my coffee. A lot of police are present.

Here is the ironic thing I've observed, most resellers or flippers will lose money or stuck with huge inventory in the long run. Worst inventory depreciation will happen to collectors of particular brands. I might be wrong but it's what I've seen many times. Still, occasional flipping is a great way to trim budget, but I personally doubt its scalability as an actual business.

I missed out on everything from the qlomaire collab and am trying to find a similar pair of white jeans with a full fit. Any ideas? Thinking that 501s might be close

 

[double00]

not 501s tho.

those are like a carpenter's jean with no rivets, slash pockets, zipper, and what looks to be lighter weight denimz (may even be a blend)...

there are no lack of options for this style. dept stores often carry these - or dickies, carhartt, or the like.

Unique Hype would disagree.

Chetb focus is the best thing I've read in a long time. Hilarious.

From the J Crew email:

I get tees hemmed, my tailor name is "dryer". I don't think I own tees of the correct length anymore, need to renew. :'(
