well, i've really got most everything i want (clothes-wise, anyway) at this point.

the last thing i really want, and plan to get come the new year, is a pair of carpe diem boots. i've been thinking about getting a pair for a long while and i've finally got the extra cash to pick some up.

after that, there's not really anything else left for me to get.

why is everyone saying "an extra $20 bucks for APC's"??? they are $140. that's $40./QUOTE]

you can get apc for $120 shipped from denimbar. that's why.

I hate to ask another sizing question since it's been beaten to death, but do the waist sizes run about the same between the Italian and the Japanese versions? I'll probably be giving the Dior store a call tomorrow and place an order while I return these, and I'm wondering if I should still size down one more.

i have an italian 21 and a japan 19 and the waist is pretty much the same on both.

the biggest difference is in the thighs.

carpe diem (et al)

if you can swing the extra $20, go for a pair of apc.

if you're not ready to drop that much, try the h&m sliq (they're ~$40 and all right, all things considered).

do they even make dior denim in 34 and up?

far as i know, dior does up to a 36.

Pictures, please!

eh, compared to most everyone else on this board, i'm a fatty.

ordered a gibson collection ma-1 through mil-mil

should have it in a few days

size 38

full report later

wonderful!

i hope you like it.

peasantonline.com had it.

as far as these particular jeans go, i haven't seen anyone with my body type (33~34 and over weight) wearing 21s at my size, so we'll see what happens.

i'm a 34 waist with 21s. i'll take a few pics soon.

interesting. and the tag on the hoody says w+h instead of spruce?

yeah. i was kind of surprised myself.

i'll post some pics later.

so i pickd up a w+h hoodie from stevenalan.com the other day.

i received it yesterday and was pleased to find that it had riri zippers instead of the lampos.

just thought that was kind of neat.

um, wear them?

hejfina has some nice stuff as well, although their staff needs an attitude adjustment.

while we were in there, i was up front checking out the books and the girl working went up to the girls i was with and said "you guys aren't from around here. i can tell. what are you doing in this store?" way to make sales.

yeah, when i was living in chicago last year i went to check out that store.

they have the worst service i've ever experienced. and, even though they do have some quality stock, it's not worth putting up with that kind of attitude.

anyway, i cosign on barneys and untitled.

and a dirty mirror.

nice.

love the hooded scarf.

uniqlo will smash h&m

wish they'd open one here in michigan.

goddamn I'm torn up over this MA-1 thing.One day I'm ready to bust the cash on one and the next I'm thinking nawhh ... mainly cuz the sizing is suspicious and I'm feeling the actual style is hard to pull off. Almost picked up a green '57 spec rickson's MA-1 off of Yahoo auctions a couple weeks ago, but lunched it at the last minute ...

Somebody help me.

Please.

i love my ma-1. it's a beautiful jacket.

size the fuck down if you're going to get one, though (runs about a full size large).

eh, not a fan.

nothing until january (i promised myself i was done clothes shopping this year).

after that, i want to pick up a pair of guidi boots, a julius top, and (maybe) a buzz rickson's coat.

i'm a card-carrying vegan and this doesn't bother me at all.

jacket looks beautiful, too.

i vote for the wjk. i'd buy it if it were my size.

i like the design but i don't like the way that gold and black, in this case, look together.

i think it'd look better in silver.

Hm, I've looked through google and ebay but couldn't find shoes called "project"

or even "common project".

So it would be nice if someone could send me a link.

PS: I also like these shoes in this picture: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4770/dsc4345dy8.jpg

Any hints on the brand?

common projects:

http://www.commonprojects.com/ (just a splash though)

http://www.shopjake.com/index.php?page=shop/shop&parent=01_03_04 (if you want 'em in white)

the shoes in the other pic look like white converse all-stars.

well, rogues used to screen on aa tees, but recently they've switched and do cut & sew. as rogues does the screenprinting for cloak, i'd assume the same is the case.

while we're on the leather tip... i finally got one of these.

nice.

i am still amazed that someone else in michigan has such good taste.
