skoolingsession

Wow, anyone else notice ss got hacked? crazy...

...so brendon babenzien is a "gentleman" and "perfectionist" who doesn't "fuck around", runs to clear his head, & loves Ralph Lauren? I was hoping for a better insight into his creativity, but it really comes off as a near identical paul mittleman interview...aside from the fact that paul loves to "fuck around" and brag about the fact that stussy PAYS him bank to "get inspiration" from his daily activities.

I wonder if KAWS is getting compensated again for this second go around. I'm all for the recycling of "vintage" graphics, but why the overkill?

If the straps on the base camp duffle is anything like the purple label ones, there is no easy way to stash them. You have to physically take the nylon straps out from the buckles...huge pain in the ass.

^^ Seriously did not expect them to sell out as fast as they did...

VSOP Snapbacks are fully stocked @ Fairfax. No waxed camp cap though... Crazy busy today for some odd reason, then again I haven't been going in regularly lately. There's also a Tip & Strip Bottle Opener for $12.

Anyone happen to go by the shop today to see if anything new dropped?

^can anyone confirm that the utility oxford also runs shorter than usual?

thanks!

Utility Oxford runs true to size (not short). Another dope item. Hombre Flannel also runs true to size if anyone wants to know.

skool how does the quilited jacket fit? what size did you get?

I'm a Large in Supreme outerwear and this is by far the best fitting jacket I own. Not too boxy but still enough room for layering. It's a bit on the heavy side, so I imagine it'll be great when it gets cold.

cool story.

how much are backpacks? 138? And is this backpack brown or more orange in person:

Yup, Backpacks are $138. The color is a slightly darker shade of brick, similar to the Hooded BDU jacket.

On a side note, to anyone interested...The Quilted Waxed Cotton Jacket is really dope. Picked up the Black one, may have to grab the Olive too.

^^Mahalos!

Cap section was pretty wiped at Fairfax by the time I got there. Anybody know if the VSOP or Land of the Free 5-panels dropped today?

When Thursday rolls around and a bright red version of http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/thom-browne-yellow-vest-1-477x540.jpg appears you're all going to be eating your words.

In other news, my timberline jacket has developed it's own ecosystem. Surprised how gnarly and worn in this thing looks after 1 season.

funny...i feel the same way about my timberline jacket. i use it daily and absolutely hate how the waxed millerain attracts every form of dust particle imaginable. i guess the best way to keep it clean is to wipe it down with a damp cloth every once in a while.

wonder if the pricing will be more akin to black fleece or thom browne's own label. sizing is gonna be another factor that might confuse a lot of folks too. people that had issues with the sizing/pricing on the north face collab are in store for another irritation.

^thanks lexerone...completely agree.

anybody know if the black version of the leopard camp cap is actually solid black OR tonal printed?...pics from the online store look like it's solid black.

ugh, that brought to mind a disturbing visual of someone actually rocking the whole leopard collection at once "in da club"...camp cap, tee, m-51, shorts, & backpack with attached camera pouch.

^true, but I think you're forgetting about those damn dim mak kids that are bound to go apeshit over it.

Nice to see the goodfellas shit coming back...missed out on it back in the day.

looks like the webshop is closed til the spring line drops in march...anyone know if the 50% markdown started yet instore?

Tees still in stock?

Hard to say...only in there for a few minutes. There was hardly a line up and the cats that were next to me didn't even know what they were in line for (!)

LA: Visvim Serra Blk/Blk and Brwn/Ryl $398, Tradesman Blk & Brwn $798, and the elusive sagamore beanie $28. All in stock!

I'll be following up with them tomorrow. It's just a really sick feeling not knowing if you'll be reimbursed for goods totaling around $280. It also brings to question who has to "eat" the mishap, UPS, Supreme, or Me?

Has anyone on here had to deal with the nightmare of discovering your shipment was tampered with after receiving it from UPS? I figured it would be a nice way to save on shipping by ordering the rug, box logo hoodie, ombre flannel and magazine all in one go. Package arrived yesterday and only contained the rug. Upon further inspection, the bottom of the box was sliced open and re-taped with clear packing tape. Supreme called me within minutes of receiving my email and are in the process of rectifying the situation. I'm curious to see if anyone else here has had a similar situation recently or if this is an isolated incident?

*edit: The theft occurred somewhere in transit between NYC to LA. which is even more irritating, considering I would assume most thefts occur when the carrier leaves your package out in the open and the person in suspicion is not the carrier himself.

Looks like the ever popular box logo hoodies dropped on the Japan site...will madness ensue tomorrow?
