This Balmain Jacket?





Was able to drop the guy to $450 from the $700 he was asking for it.

Anyone got more details on this? I couldn't find it anywhere online or in any photos. It looks like is from S12-13

These are some great options IMO with higher quality materials and construction and fits than the Levi's.
Railcar Fine Goods Deuce.

Freenote Cloth.


Dixon Rand.


Taylor Stitch.


3 Sixteen.

These will cost a little more upfront but will outlast the Levi's IMO. There will be break in time required.

Blacked out Wolverine

Bexley Enfield

Any comments or suggestions? Cap is $250ish

the shape of 511s is good, though I don't love the distressing on those--i'd either get a black, raw, or straight-up bleached pair. the Nike's are meh but not horrible.

I ended up with the Wolverines. Last minute promo got them at 140 shipped. The toebox worries me but I think I may throw on a lug half sole for an American Docs-esque look. Or even resell at that price.

Don't worry about the 1K's toe box. It'll lose most of its structure and go much more slubby before too long.
