As soon as I saw the cuffs in that rive gauche I knew who it was

Yuup...funny thing is they actually didn't change the style for a couple years after he left while the Rive Gauche line was still in production. They kept that detail under Pilati until he finally changed it when they got rid of the Rive Gauche line.

Someone, for the love of god, please buy these things and send a fit pic. I gotta know what you wear linen zebra pants with.

I would, but alas my love of cheese prevents me from entertaining a 32, and you cant let black linen out.

although unrelated besides Casino and Pesci, I had to piggy back with possibly the best quote ever written in film. Joe Pesci in Casino is obviously one of the best characters ever written in a crime movie or any for that matter, but it reminded me of this following scene. Casino, Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now (Lebowski has it's own category) are probably my top 3 but I think Casino is one of the best films ever made (and I went to a private liberal arts school so I'm not some ignorant american cinema guy, we had a movie theater and classes dedicate to film, I've seen all Goddards work, Truffuet, Bergman etc) but nothing holds a candle to Casino in my book and this quote may be the best quote ever written for a character.

Any help Identifying the maker of this tie? I am thinking Drakes, but mostly because I snagged 4 other Andover Shop ties at same time that were made by Drakes. Not sure if the hunting horn logo is a Drakes thing or not.

im shocked you haven't hit me up for the King Push EQTs yet BTW

Speaking of the the Adidas King Push EQT's... I found these a while back at true thrift prices. This was the first collaboration with adidas and Pusha. First color way was the coke white in 2014 and black in 2015. The details were crazy on these - everything from the cracked coke white leather to the fish scales and pyrex pot measuring soles. I figured that nobody cared much for Adidas and Pusha T collaborations since this is a classic menswear forum.... but guess the Adidas train is on full hype right now with Yeezy SZN and Ultra Boosts and NMD's...

Thoughts:

Looks (hand done edges, fabric tag) & feels (feels like silk) legit.

Your take?

I still to this day can't watch the part where they bury Pesci and his brother alive. It's so horrible

I think its Bowring and Arundel however I will double check when I get back to the office. Different English B name I was confused with. Spoo is def spot on.

Personally I could give a **** about yeezys clothes and shoes, I think its all a ******* joke and horrible. But Pusha T has been my favorite rapper since Lord Willin. I have every clipse album, re up gang mixtape, solo mixtape, solo releases, singles etc.... I think he's one of the best in the game by far right now, love Pusha.
