why not just put them in boiling water!??

someone needs to try this.

Ok, not that this matters... but somehow i find it amusing that this guy is a pudgy balding guy...

just not what i would have pictured in my head.

Like, he looks like he should be coaching a high school wrestling team, not designing thousand dollar hoodies for celebrities.

i noticed shaun white rocking white jeans a bit lately. They look pretty good, but i dont think i could pull it off.

hmm... in my opinion, "street x hype" is a terrible name.. laughable really.

The gun is the best... but im guessing the illustration was just taken from somewhere, not actually drawn by the person designing the shirt.

The crown is nothing special, rather cliche and passe.

The key i think is really bad.. well, not so much the key as the drops coming off of it.. they look like they are just some generic "teardrop" shape from a program, and the whole thing looks like something made in 2 minutes on a program not much better than Paint.

That said, i realize my tastes differ greatly from alot of the people on here, so my criticism isnt worth as much as that of someone who would be the intended market for the shirt.

but they "provide you with greater satisfaction"!

haha

how bout this underwear solution!?!?

I really like the all-over print hoodie in green. Id definately wear it (if it wasnt womens and would fit properly).

Id say normally the stuff is over-priced, but at half price it isnt that bad.

I like the small eagle embroidery on the right back pocket of one of the pairs.

have you ever though about doing just that on the backpocket (no other stitching)

Its nothing to fancy, yet something unique.

hmm...

they say GG 1485/S

i did a websearch for gucci 1485 and got quite a few results.

I guess they were intended to be sunglasses, but i saw them and liked them and got them with regular perscription lenses in them.

There are alot of companies that make similar (but generally better) functional, technical outerwear besides north face. North face i think has lost alot of respect in the outdoor enthusiast/backpacker/climbing communities because of the way it seems to be worn by every frat boy and sorority girl nowadays, and now nf tries to cater to this new audience rather than the consumer initially targeted by the brand.

If you want something similar in functionality, but not to be lumped in with the north face crowd, go for mountain hardwear, patagonia (they do ALOT of different fleeces), or arc'teryx (their designs are really good in my opinion - athletic fits and clean, simple, strong lines).

But conversely, i talked about to guy who works for an outdoors gear shop around where im from about this exact same topic, and he said its a good thing because the profits from the Denali fleece basically keep the shop in business and allow them to carry a larger selection of other gear.

haha... i dont find belle and sebastian to be sad bastard music! They make me happy! And i had completely forgotten that line from high fidelity...

i personally wouldnt pay anything for PRPS, ever. Maybe 5 dollars, but no more than that. How can they be $300???

maybe they use selvage denim, but that doesnt mean a thing if the jeans dont look and fit good!

I dont understand why some people get so caught up in the quality of denim. i mean, it is an important factor, but not the only factor. Fit and overall look is just as important!

i think you look alot like mc chris here (not just the outfit, but in the face also!)

and hopefully people here know who mc chris is, so the reference isnt completely lost.

thanks, LA guy. Yeah, those Italias have been my number one pair of shoes for about the past 3 years (right up there with a pair of red leather all-stars i had that got stolen at a music festival - i left them outside my tent). And I stumbled upon them for like 30 euros in a pile (literally) of sale shoes in a shop in amsterdam, so i got a good deal...

Now i reallt want some adidas japans (i think thats the model name) - they have a similar look in like an orangish/burgundy color scheme.. sounds hideous, i know, but they look damn good.

Yeah, its a good winter beard! I had mine last winter also, then shaved it,

then rocked the beard again all summer (which was kinda uncomfortable at times!) then shaved during the fall, then grew it again.

Its probably a bad thing that my job allows it.. shows you how serious i am about my career!

I should get a better job if only so that i could afford to buy things i see on here that i would like.

HAHA! it was a joke.. i do wash my beard when i shower everyday! I thought the sarcasm would be easily detected.

But its true that i havent trimmed or shaved it at all for quite some time.. but hey, it keeps my face warm and skin protected during the winter.

fade to black, what the white line going down your pants?

Also, i must say the pants look way too baggy... same with the tops, really, though not as bad

Your face and glasses look very strong and angular, but from the neck down looks somewhat shapeless and lacks definition..

Ive been looking at the forums for a couple weeks here now, but heres my first post...

h&m hat - doesnt look that great, but it covers up my hair when it needs covering, and the fit of it reminds me of the running hats i wear when i run, so i like that

Old glasses that ive had for about 4 years

facial hair - hasnt so much as been trimmed in months... Im going for 6 months, then it will be ready... hopefully it wont smell to bad by then haha.

thrift store t-shirt. it fits really well, which is hard to find in a t shirt.
