thanks, i'll add it to my list, right after this other one called meatspin a friend told me to check out

just wanted to ask if anyone had a place they particularly liked to read/look at pics on design (not just clothes)/fashion/randomness. obviously, rft used to be a great source for stumbling on things but it's s l o w around here.

How is the sizing on AKOG stuff?

How is the sizing on AKOG stuff?

I find it TTS, but I've only tried sweaters and shirts. Trim, but not skinny.

I'm in between M and L in most things (leaning towards L because I like things looser), and I went with L on all the AKOG shirts I tried. As far as the wide trousers above, I think they look good, but a bit too tapered for my tastes; it really just depends on what you're after.

^^ agree with the trousers. Their "samaurai" trousers looks better to me.

those "samurai" trousers are ******* virgin wool sweats. there is nothing "samurai" about them. stop falling for ****** marketing.

^and?

What if I wear the pants AND watch Kurosawa? Am I really a samurai then?

 

[nahneun]

i'll allow it if you commit seppuku :foo:

 

[FrankCowperwood]

That would spoil and resale value for the trousers I think.

 

[nahneun]

authenticity would totally up the resale value, methinks. think about it.

REAL LIFE WHITE SAMURAI COMMITS SEPPUKU TO VALIDATE AUTHENTIC BUSHIDO LIFESTYLE. BLOOD STAINS 100% ARTISANAL AND SHOULD NOT BE LAUNDERED OUT TO MAINTAIN INTEGRITY OF PIECE.
