dchill i dont know if it's the flash of your camera but thats exactly the color im looking for. what brand are those?

the jeffery west shoes are great. a little more beat up than i would personally prefer but very nice nonetheless. if you wouldn't mind sharing some more details on where you picked them up, price range etc (from what i can find online seems to be gbp80-150?) as well as taking some more pictures of those i'd be most appreciative.

yeah im searching for some brown/cognac colored wingtips myself. zappos has a couple of decent looking ones but i haven't found anything totally satisfactory yet.

I saw Corpus Christi jewelry this weekend. It was quite nice. I may end up picking a silver bracelet, designed to look like interlocking vertebrae.

this sounds awesome. do you know of a website where we can see the designs? or alternately where is this stuff sold?

black boots are okay, especially if they're beat up enough that they appear more grey than black, but overall i think black shoes look terrible with blue denim. the color combination is just not at all appealing to me.

i wasnt aware that 66 is distributed to such a degree in the us, thats awesome. now hopefully i can pick up a fleece that i regret not buying in iceland

im not familiar with arcteryx but i can say that 66 nord'ur makes solid gear that is suitable for skiing etc. you'd probably be fine either way. do you have a hookup in iceland or something? how are you getting 66 stuff?

hahaha these jeans are certainly getting around

Actually Louis Vuitton died before the 19th century started and I think they started making shades only recently, like the past 10 years. Anyways staying on topic like we should be, does anyone else know?

hahaha cute editing job. anyway, i think dior might have some aviator sunglasses that are similar to the ones in that image. marc jacobs has these this season, they have the top white part but not what appears to be the thick cross piece in that image:

what kind of people typically work/shop at UO?

from my experience their most loyal customers are mainly people who want to look like they care about how they look, but they dont care enough to actually be creative about what they wear and where they get it. also strongly represented are the teenagers with pockets full of mom and dad's money who still like to steal shit.

as far as the people who work there, they appear to be pretty much the same people as above except they look miserable all the time, and often if they dont like your style their disdain is palpable. (full disclosure, ive never experienced this firsthand, ive always gotten okay service...but ive seen other people get ignored, brushed off, lied to about what's in stock, etc)

obviously this doesn't describe every single person who has ever stepped into or worked at uo, and all of this is very much dependent on where the store is located. for example clientele is much less predictable at stores near college campuses.

i dont hate uo; i will go into their stores to kill time/look for bargains. however i would certainly hate to be a salesperson there.

definitely gap. i'd take soccer moms and the sartorially impaired anyday over the people who typically work at/shop at urban outfitters

i dont know the answer to your question but louis vuitton has existed since like the late 19th century...do you think they came into existence in the 1990s or something?

im pretty sure someone here purchased this bag a while ago, if i didnt already have a coach leather messenger bag i'd prob choose this, esp for the price.

it can be purchased at a lot of places, i just searched 'rawlings leather messenger bag' and this was the first site google returned

unless you are a skeletal 15 year old japanese dude i would recommend against ordering anything sz small from hare. i tried on a sz medium drape shirt of theirs and the shoulder width was so narrow that i almost tore the damn thing in half. i dont think their sizing is generalizable as 'asian sizing' though.

that site reinforces my conviction to never own a pair of converse chuck taylors or any similar shoes with that retarded looking white capped toe. also the first picture at the top of this thread looks like someone sprayed diarrhea on his shoes and he decided to cherish the memory forever

japan uses the same style power plugs as the us so plug converters shouldnt be necessary. they run on some weird voltage but my computer worked fine over there, and a camera i bought there works fine here. i didnt really plug anything else in so i cant provide a fully authoritative opinion on that whole thing though.

learning to speak japanese would be good since youre staying there for so long. if you can learn to read some katakana and hiragana i think you'd have a much better time. strictly speaking though, you can get by with english and a very basic repertoire of japanese.

it is a travesty that fugazi and atdi were even mentioned in this wussfest of a thread. (not trying to imply that i wasnt also an emo nerd when i was 16, but come on now.)

yeah theres nothing there that would be worth braving the chaos of nyc h&m stores.

first post in this thread. oh boy

comme ca ism

diesel (oh no! how supergauche of me)

and i dont remember who makes the shoes...

that dark grey looks like it might actually be more purple than youre expecting. i'd go with the black.

edit: hmm it might actually just be crappy product photography since the light stripes look very different in all of them. or maybe they are different, i dont know. anyway yeah black

diors are sold - thanks for the interest everyone.
