Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

Anyone know a company that sells a feather necklace similar to this?

Goros? Or are you asking for another brand?

Goros takahashi I think

So is it better to use grailed or ebay these days? Got some stuff I want to sell

 

[sinnedk]

Honestly just use both. With eBay you lose 10% + 3% PayPal so total of 13% and grailed its approx 10% so just mark up items appropriately.

Grailed is such a **** show but once you reach an acceptable price things do sell

Best is to sell to other members on SF with a good deal.

Yea, I immediately thought of you when I saw those two pieces.

FWIW, the guy who wrote that article works at Unionmade, and they're carrying the BBJ sashko jacket this season. I imagine he's familiar with the weight of the BBJ.

Actually thought the BBJ jacket is pretty hefty.

took a hot minute to find but: https://ninelivesbrand.com/collections/nine-lives

Is it just me, or do I not see the sashiko duster?

First time at a real computer for days, and thought that maybe it was just a website to mobile error (which happen frequently.)

Cheers.

Fok.

Yea, I think that's slated for SS17 since it was at the last round of tradeshows. Surprised some of the pieces are already up, but maybe they're one of those brands that dont follow your typical seasonal release schedule (one full collection out; one full collection in type thing)

That sorta sucks. That said, loving that leather rider jacket. Really wish that there were zippers on the hip pockets... I wonder how difficult it would be to add those, and also about the hardiness of those leathers. I don't think that I've ever handled yak leather.

Yea, I don't know. There's supposed to be at least one US stockist, but I don't know if they're carrying that jacket. I really like that piece, although the price is a touch high.

Self Edge has a similar one.

I'm torn between two pairs of boots. They are obviously quite different but hoping SF'ers can help! I have wanted a pair of Chelsea boots for years, and almost got some RM Williams, but never pulled the trigger. The Epaulet Chelseas are so well done they are pretty hard to resist. On the other hand, the Padrone side zips are really sleek and about $100 less (albeit used and from Japan so no returns). Either of these would be worn for both casual and work outfits (biz casual).

I have the sand suede versions. Can confirm, they're nice, comfortable, and a good value. Just a head's up, the last is not sleek

I have the same, and imo, the shape is much nicer in person than in the product photos. Definitely not very sleek, but not nearly as chunky as MR Williams or the like either.

Those are ugly.

The pictures are not great. The profile irl is really quite nice, imo

I had a dream last night about sunglasses that you could keep fish inside... like aquarium glasses. All my coworkers had them and I felt really left out.

Does this exist? If it doesn't, why not? Are there any technical/fashion limitations I should be aware before pressing the speed dial for Mark Cuban?
