vintage 60s s/s pullover

Levis cords

D&G wingtips

Diesel Jubweto jacket on top, not pictured

non-denim pants are hard to keep for more than 5 years...the seat and knees wear out and get that ugly shine even if you take care of em and wear lightly.

earlier today

Ben Sherman buttondown

Thick as Thieves one button jacket

Ralph Lauren cords

Paul Smith antique white brogues

Prada sunglasses

Buddy's '63 Vespa 50

Bed, I was at SCP co-op on Black Friday and saw the FredPerryxCDG grey sweater vests for $300+...do you happen to know if those are marked down now? anyways, ima be down there this weekend so maybe I'll see you there...

Looking in my closet at what I still own/wear that I bought around 10 years ago...

agnes b dress shirts

Paul Smith shirts & suits

Dolce & Gabbana shoes & suit

stuff that I still buy that is the same as it was 10 years ago...

Fred Perry polos

Ben Sherman buttondowns

A lot of the stuff I've bought in the past few years I expect to still have around and wear in 10 years. My style doesnt change with trends so "getting played out" doesnt really apply.

vintage Oi the last few days...

4 Skins - mix w/songs from Hodges, Panther, Roi lineups

Combat 84

Sham 69

Last Resort

today was a good pre-Xmas delivery day in the mail...

got a pair of Paul Smith socks from Neimans on sale for $11 + free ship

Fred Perry dk red gingham s/s buttondown shirt....they revised the fit and it's f'ing great, really fitted and nicely detailed. it's the one on their website under Men's limited edition classics

recently in past month....Paul Smith espresso brown leather chukka boots with toe medallion from his new "British Collection" line

D&G "cream" chronograph watch in black corian and stainless. pretty f'ing fun and cool watch

brokenglass, great looking sweater! proof that every season D&G does actually make at least one piece worth buying that isnt eurotrashy

tube amps vs. solid state

I think a better analogy is P2P wired tube amp vs. circuit board wired tube amps

my 20watt class A Tophat Club Royale will blow away a Vox AC-30 in tone and volume

an obvious one is full canvassing vs fused canvassing which many don't know about in the construction of suits

but just like jeans that are non-selvage can still be good, so can suits that are fused, but the full canvassing is def a sign of quality.

the method of attaching the soles on leather shoes & boots is another area

totally agree. you gotta have zero break, even be a bit short, with boots. Also thanks for taking it a step further with the sleek boots bit, which do look better uncuffed

Cuffing will always be punk as fuck. It's def a great way to wear jeans with boots. I think cuffs+dunks look is awkward tho

got these over the weekend and didnt see any pics on this thread. The greycast "sinner" model. not as skin tight as the Joey Overdrive but still very skinny

Picked these up over the weekend, April 77 "sinner" greycast jeans. I def dig them!

Fred Perry polo

Nudie thin finn

Diesel jacket

Old Navy belt

Paul Smith brogued wingtip laceup boots

GS - that's a cool jacket too. Do those sleeves zip at the cuff?

yep, the cuff zipper goes up pretty high, almost the entire forearm length, which I dig

Jet, thanks. haha my RRDS are my "lazy day" jean when I want something slouchy

RRDS

Diesel Jubweto jacket

H&M longsleeve striped tshirt

Tretorn brown leather gullwing

Infest and Charles Bronson are sick.

+100 on Infest

-100 on Charles Bronson

finally got to try these on at American Rag....the size 30 fit me perfect at the waist but holy shit the legs were TIGHT, even on my skinny legs. I like my jeans really slim (thin finn is my fave cut) but these were a bit too skinny for me. But I can see doods going apeshit over them, I'm still debating going back and getting them.

when I think of Powerpop I think of what used to be called "punk" a la Buzzcocks, Undertones, Vibrators.....or in today's music my nigs The Adored

www.rocktheadored.com

probably the cheapest day in weeks...

Nudie RRDS $220

some black belt $10

Jcrew socks $4

Converse One Star $35

Diesel watch $120

Lonsdale Tshirt $30

total: $419.00

My dry black Thin Finns are one of my top 3 fave jeans I own. Not a fan of overdyed black denim tho

Mercs really gone downhill over the years...the suits are AWFUL, made and fitting, and they've almost become a caricature of themselves.

That said I have a rust color crombie, the "Weller" bowling shoe, and a harrington that I do like and wear often. But their current offerings are few and far between

For the poster who wanted to check out Donkey Jackets, check out Warrior Clothing

www.warriorclothing.co.uk

they have donkey jackets for cheap and it might be what you're looking for

the OWN store has sizes posted and it appears they run 3" large.....can anyone confirm that? According to their chart, a size 29 is 32" waist. (this is for the slim model)
