Hey..

the sale wasn't store-wide but there was a LOT on sale...

I also don't remember actually seeing any Wings & Horns tees....

from what i remember, the following was 50% off:

Blue Blood

Paper Denim

Surface 2 Air

A&G

G-Star

Energie

There's also a denim table with a bunch of stuff for 50% off as well...they've got more PD&C, some Saltworks stuff, some Sacred Blue, etc...apparently, there's 2 pairs of Avelon raw denim in that table somewhere..but in size 38...way too large for me..

I don't think Rogans, Loomstate or Earnest Sewn were on sale...

Hope this helps

Peace

^^^^^^

Totally agree with the thread above...

the boys down at TNTBlue definitely have it going on with their denim..and they're only gonna get better...PRPS is gonna be in their fall line...

and oh, there's also a sale on there right now..picked up a pair of Blue Bloods for 50% off ($150 Cdn)...

Definitely not hating on Lileo though...they've got some great stuff (and staff) as well.

If I remember correctly, doesn't Surrender do black selvedge denim as well?

Not sure if they're raw or not though...

Does anyone know if there's a Uniglo in Bristol or Birmingham?

I did a google for UK locations but came up w/ nothing...

Thanks for the headsup.

I would've gone and tried them on in a store but stores round my way never seem to have my size for me to even try on.

Thanks again.

Hey all,

Quick question regarding the sizing of Vans slip ons - do they run true to size? I'm normally a size 7 in Dunks - can I go with size 7 in Vans or do I need to size up/down?

Thanks.

Peace.

I was actually gonna mention something about this earlier...a lot of the jeans i'm seeing these days are doing coloured overstitching (at least, that's what i think it is) to mimick the selvedge look...club monaco's actually doing a dark denim jean with purple/red overstitching and coloured rivets...actually looks kinda nice, but I think i'll stick to real selvedge..

Cool...I know you have a lot of good stuff, so I'll definitely swing by if I get a chance..

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can pick up APC jeans in Washington DC..the APC website doesn't mention any retailers in that area but I thought I'd still ask....

Peace

Hey y'all

Just wondering what ppl thought of the non-selvage Blue Blood jeans, i.e. the non dry-goods stuff.

Hey,

Just an idea, but someone (ie. not me but someone with actual artistic talent) should do a superfuture version of this....replace the Evisu jeans w/ APC..the '$200 sneakers from the future' with some dunks or vans, etc...

I think it'd make for a cool t-shirt...

Not sure what the copyright implications, etc would be..but hell, it's all in good fun and if anything, it'd be a parody..lol.

peace.

Any thoughts/feedback on this brand? I checked them out when I was in England last xmas and they had some decent, if pricey, stuff...picked up a pair of their jeans...though this was before I was enlightened with the 'dry selvage' knowledge...

Just wondering what people thought of them?

Thanks..

Peace.

There's a couple of bike stores on Queen west that you might wanna check out...I can't remember the names right now but one of them is on the north side of Queen, west of Bathurst..they carry choppers, lowriders, etc..you might be able to find one there...

I think they're a bit pricey though and I don't know if you'll get a used one..

good luck..

peace.

I don't know for sure, but you can try calling Da Zone (They're on Queen St. West, near Bathurst) or perhaps Delphic may still have a couple of pairs left...Unfortunately, you're kinda late in the game so I'm not sure who has what left and what sizes...

Good luck though...

Hey man,

I'm not sure if you've checked the TO spots as yet, but last I checked, GROOVY on Queen St. still had a fair number of the 35th..not sure about sizing or whether they've got the Warhol's but you should give them a call.

peace.

I've cut and pasted below...enjoy.

Grown-Up Boys' Wear for Bar or Barricades

By PENELOPE GREEN

FOR a revolutionary, a nom de guerre is both an image maker and a practical tool. He or she can employ one to burnish or fashion an image, adding mystery to the mundane - as Patty Hearst did when she was reborn as Tania - while neatly covering his or her tracks.

The owners of a men's store called Nom de Guerre, which is set like a bunker or an after-hours club in concrete chambers underneath the sidewalk at Broadway and Bleecker Street, are clearly enamored of revolutionaries and their advertising techniques.

Here is a store without a storefront. Heck, it doesn't even have a sign, though if you're looking down at just the right spot, you might see the words "Nom de Guerre" stenciled on the sidewalk in a swirly Gothic, old-style surfer typeface. To reach it, you walk gingerly down an iron staircase that ends in a wide and dimly lighted concrete hall, empty except for the gigantic black Nom de Guerre stencil on one wall; a row of red utility lights beckons from a smaller hall just beyond. There's a copy shop to your left and an unmarked door to your right. Follow the guy gliding in on the skateboard, as I did early one weekday afternoon.

It's a bit grim to be sure, but the young men working here are affable and kindly despite the greenish light and dour themes. In the spring, images of men in ski masks glowered from bright-pink T-shirts on a wall. On another wall rows of revolutionary tracts were laid out like jewelry, with titles that included "10 Days That Shook Iraq," "I Ask That One Piece of Your Heart Be Zapatista" and "500 Years of Indigenous Revolutions."

This month the tracts have been replaced by bios of 80's bands like the Cure and the Clash and the Smiths, as well as old music videos of Depeche Mode and Spandau Ballet.

Tyler Thompson, a soft-spoken salesman wearing a black knit cap with a slogan that read "Easy Money," unlocked a glass case so that I could try on a black sweatshirt lined in black rabbit fur. Its silk-lined sleeves were printed with dollar signs. Instead of drawstrings, gold-plated chains dangled, tipped with tiny daggers. It was $1,600, a limited-edition garment made one sweatshirt at a time by a hairstylist named Joey Curls. The store has sold just one. On my back it looked as comic as you would imagine.

"They're shooting a music video down the street if you'd like to wear it out," Mr. Thompson said helpfully. Now the case is filled with a collection of old Ray-Bans - Wayfarers, Drifters - but you can ask for the bunny fur, and they'll order one for you.

There are essentially four things for sale at Nom de Guerre: T-shirts, sweatshirts, blue jeans and sneakers. A boy's uniform. But what sort of boy? T-shirts made by Rogan, $60, are laundered into a suedelike nap, their slogans ("Keep New York City," "You Won't Belize Your Eyes") faded just to the brink of erasure. You want to nuzzle them, smell the Tide.

Paper-thin Rogan flip-flops nearby are even more archly casual, almost disposable, in a black-on-brown print over hemp soles, $110. Military jackets in navy and white pinstripes or a tigery black-and-gray camouflage pattern, carrying Nom de Guerre's own label, are $325. Lavender gingham button-down shirts, also by Nom de Guerre, classic and fitted, are $210 and $195.

Sneakers are the other story at Nom de Guerre. For some young men, maybe the only story. Limited edition and vintage sneakers are presented in a curatorial manner in a vaultlike cement room deeper within, along with more T-shirts in flat files and a trance-tribal soundtrack. The vintage sneakers live in a glass vitrine, single pairs on consignment, like a pair of sleek white hightops in men's size 12, with orange tongues and touches of a silvery reflective material for $1,000. (Called Maharishi Terminators, they are among 48 pairs made by Nike in 2004, Mr. Thompson said.)

Such artful casualness, my friend Dan mused, seems geared to a man inten

Sorry..I should've clarified...it's the Holt Renfrew on Bloor...not sure if the other locations are having a similar sale or not..I'm assuming it's because of Pride week...so it might just be the downtown location...

as for the le tigre polos, i only saw them in white, and i think it was a regular pique cotton...i'm not too familiar with the different le tigre styles so i can't really tell you more than that....
