Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

[bigOmyD]

please, tell me, where is the irony in my post?

Did I generalize a group of people based on my annoyance of your offensive post?

Or are you saying I am assuming you are a offensive person based on your post? Yes that is exactly it, what other source of information would I have/need for my perception of your character regarding this subject?

I think most people should avoid colors that look like flesh.

No more black then....

For those looking for tan NN side zips, I thought these looked pretty good. I want a pair with a concealed zipper, but these could also be nice.

i like these more: http://www.arknets.co.jp/category/A4_B_A_N_66/A4_NN_F3002.html not the full on western look ones though, if that's what u're looking for.

(still not my size)

I really like the wonky shape of previous seasons' designs, but this one looks too much like Uggs to me. Maybe it's the flat Cristy outsole.

now that u mention.. maybe i should just get uggs.. ha ha

i've found a few more..:

http://store.silver-and-gold.com/?pid=109990758 (these the one u want? i'm tracking a second hand version on yjp but 500 bucks for used boots is a bit rich for me..)

slightly sleeker version from unused (i may have got these instead of geller if i spotted them earlier.. but i guess they are also nearly double the price i paid for the CPxgeller boots):

Sole on the first looks cool, but prob too funky for me. Second is nice, but I want boots with a concealed/ non-exposed zipper.

Great finds though!

There's an old NN side zip model with shaggy suede that I really like. Would love to get that in brown, but haven't seen something pop up in my size.

Do I kop and put on ice until the summer? Completely unlined Dolce & Gabbana goodness...

I want to say that some foot the coacher models might come close to what you're looking for as well.

Anyone know of a good store for men's necklaces? Want to get something, but the usual places online (Mr. Porter and whatnot) don't have interesting pieces. Not really into Miansai kind of stuff.

Anyone know if a cool local shop in their town? Maybe something that's easily missed online?

@conceptual 4est had a great one back in the day with a silver twig pendant, but that company is sadly no longer around.

Kind of late to the party on this one but a friend of ours has a one man operation using a lot of jewelers bronze, silver, and some unique alloys like shibu-ichi / shakudo (usually upon request). Necklaces can be found right here, and eventually on our website once i reshoot our new stock.

Another interesting aspect of this work is the cordage, which is sometimes hand dyed or hand waxed, as well as occasional salvage pieces (there was a run of old lobster trap cordage that was dyed indigo at one point, makes it hard to keep track of on the web when some things are a 3-of but fun in the moment). My favorite is the kumihimo necklace, braided slowly by the artist himself.

Interesting that he has the pelican clips in the necklace section of his site, since we've always sold them as double(ish) wrap bracelets. Guess they'd make a good looking necklace too!

Re: Things You Buy But Never Wear, Wearing "Flesh Tones" and Shameful, But I Like Them:

Where to kop: western suit in kind of Margiela beige or gray? Not a full decorative rodeo Nudie suit, but just a solid wool maybe with colored piping and bootcut slacks. Most of the versions I've seen are full-on polyester and look like boxes. And usually start at size 46 Long (US size). Maybe our resident Texans have an idea. @Baron @1969










Also, does LabelKing ever read SF anymore? This 70s Brioni is pretty, pretty, pretty sweet. (Larry David voice). I would take a chance but it's too long for me.

I tried on a pair of Yeezy Adidas the other day, they're pretty comfy + nice. I'd buy a pair if they weren't associated with, uh, whatever crowd is wearing that stuff

Also I just want a PS4 Pro, can't find one ANYWHERE, all the stock got diverted to the US for Christmas sales because nobody in Japan plays games that aren't on the phone anymore. Is this FF15 going to be good or will I be disappointed?

 

[nahneun]

@nicelynice, is there a reason you're buying the pro instead of the slim? i'm debating between the two right now

 

[nicelynice]

not really, I asked my coworker who knows about games and he said to get the pro (I guess more as a "future proof" thing)

I just wanna play Persona 5 and FF14!!

 

[penanceroyaltea]

@Parker haha I thought u hated brown suits!

@nicelynice yea man I'm getting a PS4 just to play ff too.. I haven't played an FF game in years though... have been waiting for this one for forever..
