Yo, what jeans is these?

Tight work.

At least! I'd go for a full size down based on my experience. That experience being I'm an 8, I bought an 8, and tehy're massive.

Right!

I can't imagine these Supreme caps are New Era (http://www.ug-shaft.jp/?pid=5482525) since they have an "homage" Starter logo on the back.

And thanks again for the http://www.ottocap.com/ link.

There are a lot of styles to choose from. Almost too many to know what's good.

What's really good?

What caps is A-Ron the Downtown Don using with Off Bowery?

Stoked to see he's still on the block.

Thanks for the tips and links, guys.

Hi all.

I'm wondering if you have tips on where to purchase snap-back caps wholesale.

The Hundreds have been using them for a spell and Supreme once in a while.

So many Google results doesn't help with quality and reliability questions, so I'm looking for first-hand accounts or tips on where the go-to place is.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Dudes, thanks a zil.

I'm super glad to hear that RutanSB, edwithoutahead, and 123ok have had good luck with reheating. Now I have hope for my old shoes. I'll post back after mission complete.

Thanks for the tip on heating them up in the summer rhythymandsound (even though it sounds a bit suspect - The Dashboard Method!).

mlproject, as far as re-soleing the shoe, how do you get the same crepe sole?

Is it a relatively easy process or do I have to find some sort of specialist. My apologies if this is a silly question, but I'm in the dark on this.

Thanks again, fellas.

Do any of you cats know a way possible to reinvigorate the crepe soles on Clark's shoes? I have a beautiful pair of P&B black leather low-cut Wallabees, a pair of beeswax Desert Treks, and a fantastic pair of Clarks Portabellos all of which have what seems to be a petrified sole. After years of shelf life, I wanted to start wearing them again but they are very, very uncomfortable - the antitheses of what these soles are intended to present. Any tricks for getting the softness back?

Thanks for the help!

Great! Thanks for the tip, I'll give Albert a try.

For the record, darning is a traditional stitch for repairing worn or torn fabrics. It ends up looking like a fine zig-zag pattern keeping your stuff together. You can see an example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darning, and a specific description here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060217005245/www.45rpm.jp/denim/detail.jsp?id=011〈=en

Thanks again!

Can anyone recommend a repair shop/tailor/dry-cleaners that does a great job darning torn jeans?

Thanks for the help!

In addition to good tailors, does anyone have a good recommendation for darning my jeans? Cummings Cleaners on West 4th Avenue used to be the spot but they're gone and my jeans have new holes.

Thanks for any tips!

I used to have this problem so I feel I have to chime in an offer my experience. I used to get pit stains in all my shirts. I tried Tom's of Main, the crystal, and awhole bunch of Anti-perspirants with not much luck. If you're going to sweat, you're going to sweat and Anti-perspirants try and prevent you from doing what's natural.Then I found the solution: Deoderant NOT Antiperspirant. I've been using Speed Stick Deoderant Solid for years now and guess what? No more pit stains.

Hope this helps.

fake, yes?

Nice casual watch for studying, hey?

What? Are you getting your Masters degree in Zillionairing?

I think Panerais are a bore since you can get a fake one (they've been flooding the market in the last couple years) with the same movements. Don't get me wrong bud, I think Panerais look really nice. But you can't judge a book by it's cover. At least the Radiomir 8 Days GMT houses their own in-house movement.

In my opinion, neither are better.

It just depends on what you like.

I like Macs.

They're easy to use.

For anybody.

I have to use a PC at work and I find it terribly user-unfriendly.

The interface is ugly as sin, and it's unresponsive in that it occupies a communication specific to comptuters. They're almost too comlicated or something

If you can set your watch, you can use a Mac.

I use Macs at home and they all work well, are easy to troubleshoot (which does happen), but the visual "language" they present is straightforward and clean.

I honestly don't know know why anyone would buy a PC for their home computer.

Especially in a forum where everyone is overtly interested in aesthetic.

Let's keep things positive!

If anyone has any quality bag manufacturers in the Rolodex, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks again.

Hey Poops!

Thanks for the picture: that's EXACTLY why I'm trying to find out. I'm from the states and would like to support my national economy not outsourcing when I don't have to.

If anyone has any leads or recommendations, I'd really appreciate it.

All the best.

I tried to make the question clearer, so I hope it'll make a difference.

Not to blow up the spot or anything, but does anyone know who manufactures the Supreme line of backpacks?

Thanks.

Dude, where do you find Lee hoodies? Locally, or online?

They're fantastic, but I don't know where to get them...

Thanks.

The Rabbit Of Seville

Where did you get the liner for 19 bucks? I'd like to pick one up myself...

Thanks.

Hey Artie!

I'm with you kid!

Raglan lost the shoulder battle and they are super hard to find. The American Apparel ones become incredibly mishapen after laundering so don't ever bother. Supreme does a raglan sweat usually and sometimes it doesn't have a big print or embroidery. Do yourself a solid and hit the thrift stores because even though they're old, you can find a myriad of colors and sizes and you won't look like a brand-nerd.

"Are you kidding me? How else do you think A Bathing Ape still exists? The only reason is exclusivity. The harder it is to get, the more desirable it is. No doubt that Bape has made Nigo millions upon millions of dollars, and he did it not by having great or innovative designs or products, but by making it hard to get."

This comment along with Minya's NdG bit are spot on the money. These dudes have dough from behind closed doors. Promise. Other shop owners are notorious for opening rad stores and quite simply defaulting on payments to suppliers. For real.

Like I mentioned, you have to have your hooks in and exclusive labels are just that: exclusive. Bathing Ape is catching on in North America WAY after it's been blown apart in Japan, a country inexplicably survivng on a maniacal retail market. That is NOT the North American market. Don't forget this little forum here is not a clear representation of how great DoubleTaps is how how many actual consumers want some heavy print Hundreds shirts. It's a reduction. It's all nice stuff, but it's kept close to home.

Seriously, retail is bullshit. If you start your own thing, outside of the hype but still informed by it, you can essentially create your own market out of this one. Montreal is full of students so I wouldn't vest too much "stock" in your local clientele. Don't jump a bandwagon: start your own.

If you're still mad about your idea then my advice is save WAY up, rent a space in MTL, go to Tokyo during the exhibition season, spend tons of money on clothes, dinners, rent a SICK hotel, drop tons of names, drop tons of money, and buy lines on the spot. Ship it all back, promote the bejeezus out of your store: and hope for the best. If you're not down, the partnering idea is okay but I don't advise it: you could lose your shirt because someone else thought the new SNAFU line was the bees knees.

What happened to Alena? That shop had a lot of good ideas and they have closed doors.

I don't want to poo-poo this kids idea, but I do understand all the warnings posted to warn him from the pitfalls of retail. Especially scenester designer streetwear retail. My advice would be that yeah, if you hate your job, are 25 years old, have 20 grand saved up and a passion for clothing then go ahead and try something.You owe it to yourself. You probably won't get the lines you mentioned unless you've been down with some dudes for a while. Streetwear comes from street shit (and Japan) so if you don't skate, b-boy, make beats, write graffiti, make films, promote nights, are not a rich kid or know one, or don't have thick Japanese connections then it probably will not work like you like it right away. It's baby steps. Open a furniture store with nickknacks and other crap disposable income shoe enthuasists are about to get into, and you'll be set. Get those fucking Ryan Mcguiness carpets and some copies of Hamburger Eyes and Kaws shampoo containers (or whatever) and pay to get some of your own silk neckties woven up with an ill pattern. You build on that for a couple of years, and then those streetwear brands (if they're still around) will be easier to secure. You have to start small and have patience: you don't come out the gate carrying $300 Neighbourhood sweat-tops because they don't know you, trust you, have ever heard of you, and already have all the freinds they need. They to be down just as much as the next guy so you have to convince them that THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT.

Good luck and all the best.

Hey Youwish,

What local Chicago spot are you talking about?

Thanks.
