    Had a catchup with a couple of old friends yesterday. Rob Newman (who was a student of mine, then an intern, and is now working on various exciting things while being an accessories designer for Stone Island) was wearing his pair of woad dyed 130s. 6 and a half years old, worn twice a week for that whole time and with 3 or four rounds of repairs. They look amazing!

    Hell yes for the jeans, hell yes for the boots 8-)

    The soles of those shoes triggers my phobia.

    Kiko at it again with Camper - mixing his beloved Hoka Tor Ultras and a pair of Danner Light ii.

  3. Dunno anyone who wears Arcteryx boots. I sure wouldn’t pay those prices for what seems to me to be a silly idea. There’s a reason no one else is using what is essentially a soft shell sock/hard shell exterior configuration.

     

    The GSG’s are cop boots and a fairly good example.

     

    Have you checked out the Hoka’s mentioned in the Tech Wear thread? A better boot than either of your options and half the price of the Arcteryx.

     

    Sorry to stray off topic - there are plenty of companies making footwear with that sort of configuration, though none had the foresight to call it a hardshell boot with soft shell liner like Arcteryx did, rather referring to them as boots with removable inner booties..

    I grabbed a pair of the Bora2 Leather this summer and am loving them. Need to pick up the insulated liners before winter hits.

     

    Regarding the Hoka Tor Ultra His - I'm a big fan of these as well, but they're more high top sneakers than boots. Negligible if you're just going to be wearing em about town though.

     

    You seen this version of the Mizuno Ring Mocs? - https://www.thebureaubelfast.com/shop/6793/black-mizuno-infinity-ring-moc

  4. Anyone got any suggestions for a good mid layer / light weight jacket?

    I need something to wear underneath shells and outwear once I'm inside. Preferably, slim fitting and no hoodies / fleece.

     

    The Acronym J58 that's coming soon would be perfect but that's out of my price range.

    I'm currently wearing my Veilance Quoin pretty much everyday.

    can usually grab these for $106.

    polartech alpha insulation like that TAD one above and made in USA.

    size down one for a trimmer fit. remove the pull tabs (replace with nylon ones if you wish) and you're set.

  5. creative recreation x vibram

    really hard to reconcile all the club douche/basic bro images CR conjures in my mind (it's who bought them most locally, probably carries over elsewhere..?) but they're alright; esp. first pair with heavy acg vibes >_>

    the top ones aren't bad. 

    reminds me the cats you or someone else posted a little while back should out soon - http://thenewordermagazine.com/2015/09/14/cat-x-christopher-shannon-springsummer-2016-collection/

  6. A few quick questions about the Mionn IS Vest. Is the material similar to that of the Arc'teryx Atom Lt line. Also in comparison how thick is the insulation in the Mionn.

    In terms of fit, I wear a Partition LT in small (with a blazer underneath) and a Node IS in XS.

    Based on the measurements in MR Porter I'd be a small but was wondering if someone who owns one could comment on how the fit. Thanks.

    mionn is vest - 40 g

    atom lt vest - 60 g

     

    mionn is jacket - 80 g in uper back and upper chest, 60 g elsewhere

    atom lt jacket - 60 g

    atom ar jacket - 80 g and 120 g - not sure of mapping/layout

     

    in terms of fit,

    call me an anomally,

    call me an idiot

    for i take xl in veilance

    and xl in the regular shit

  7. this brought a question to my mind, can anyone think of a similar similarly cut jacket (with regular sleeves)? looking for a short parka like that, preferably a similar material (less synthetic feeling).

    nonnative usually do a couple in this vein each year.

  8. ^ what a track, such a nice slow, spaced out ascension. Not the track he played, the voice was a female telephone operator. 

    Function explained it to me as :

     

    "But what they are are a series of short wave radio transmissions I play over the top of tracks. There were several in different languages that I played. "
