  1. My favorite was probably Sputnik Sweetheart and Dance Dance Dance. Actually reading Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman right now.

    Norwegian Wood is probably in the top 3 for me but it's the least "murakami" out of all his books so I'm never sure if I should recommend it or not to someone who started reading his more recent stuff.

  2. some guy from hk with sda 103

    This is amazing. It seems like every single time I see an interesting accessory/look gaining steam on sufu there will be some kid in Asia beasting it out in the worst way possible. Looks like he raided a leather craft shop with some beaded up shoelaces.

  3. Gotta disagree here. While I think Uniqlo sizes fit better I'd say that the quality of their peacoat is nothing special at all. My friend bought a peacoat last winter and imho it was not very warm, the lining was poor, the wool was stiff and rather scratchy, and it did not hold up well after regular wear, ie it did not hold the the original shape and it started to get a bit fuzzy looking. Worth $60 on sale and not much more. This and the duffle were big disappointments considering the Uniqlo down vests and puffer jackets were good quality and a decent bargain at retail.

    Seriously, peacoats are all over the place and the best basic ones are probably the traditional ones supplied to the navy. They're real cheap at thrift stores or you can buy online from the government's supplier for $150-200.

  4. I'm so fucking sold on the Ipod touch. Everything I liked on the iphone, minus the actual phone which was the deal breaker for me. The 8/16 gig storage limit is pretty lame though.

    I imagine that everyone who switched carriers to get the iphone is extremely pissed right now though.

  5. I want to know about the coat in the first pic, what type is it exactly, looks like a pea coat to me, anybody seen it in store, price?

    I want to know about the cardigan in the second pic, anybody seen it in store, how much?

    I want to know about the sweater in the third pic, is it in store, and how much?

    Also, the black boots he's wearing in multiple pics, what "type" of boots are those, I've been looking for something similar for ages now, but don't know what to search really.

    First pic is the peacoat. Not in the store yet but it looks similar to the one from last season, which was not very impressive.

    Cardigan is out. They have it grey, black, and I think maroon. $39 and from the posters who picked it sounds a pretty good deal.

    Brown sweater not out either and I'm actually very curious about it because the fit looks great.

  6. irrelevant: having no connection with the subject at issue

    we:re talking about dog fighting being cruel i highlight why is that cruel but killing animals for things not neccessary to our survival such as leather clothing & shoes not..did i lose you somewhere?

    Cruelty is cruelty no? is their a heirachy for animals that we can be cruel to?

    Westside wanted to rep but i guess youre popular today.

    You are comparing two things in completely different contexts. Is your argument that harvesting leather for non-essential things is just as bad as dogfighting, or are you justifying Michael Vick by saying that since X is accepted, then Y which achieves the same ends must be okay? Because it sounds like the latter and by your logic we can all be drowning puppies and kittens guilt free.

    The big difference between dogfighting and anything else we're talking about is the cruelty of having to suffer before death. America has strict guidelines on killing animals for consumption and part of that is to ensure that death is as painless as possible. I'm not sure what regulations are on the fashion side but in this case it is not the death of animals that is relevant but that dogs are made to suffer extensively in an inhumane matter. It is the difference between using the lethal injection as the death penalty and having a bunch of guys hack you to death with machetes, which I think we can agree is a pretty big difference.

    edit: What the fuck DMX just busted for the same shit? Authorities say they found a bunch of half starved dogs in his place and a bunch of dog corpses buried in his backyard? The fuck is the attraction to watch dogs fight? Is this some southern tradition shit that ppl can't shake?

  7. Man at first I thought that video was some 3rd world shit and then they started speaking English. I thought it was funny that the Star Wars soundtrack was playing in the background though.

    Oh yea. It's not pubes.

  8. I wonder what type of problems a guy with some decent talent, money and pretty much any chick he wants has.

    The world don't understand his pain yo.

    It's okay, I heard they got Ben Stiller to talk him out of his funk, and now they're going to make a comedy abotu it.

  9. Blackbird is out of the deck hoodie in S and has no more blacks in M. Looks like it is going pretty fast at most places even with retail price. Anyone know if they have a big supply of these at the NDG store, ie I might have a chance to snag them during sale time?

  10. Big asses turn me off. Not even fat asses, but the kind that black guys go gaga over and white guys too ever since the mid 90s. Seriously I think the idea of booty is just black propoganda that was spread because black dudes know thier chicks can't lose weight in that area so they flipped it to be a good thing.

    I think history will prove me right on this.

  11. kanye can wear whatever he wants, and he can style himself in those clothes however he pleases. however, his sudden embrace of haute fashion over the course of the past year reeks of insincerity.......

    it is exactly like a white kid from wisconsin trying to act hood. it just doesnt work.

    I don't feel this is really a valid comparison. Street cred is a matter of upbringing and social/geographical circumstances, whereas fashion is simply there to be adopted by whomever. The idea that you need to have certain roots or pre-requisites in order to claim appreciation of haute design with credibility is ridiculous. Nobody in this forum gave a shit about, or was privy to, any of the elite designers for the vast majority of their upbringing. If fashion, like rap, was a matter of certain pedigree, then the only people allowed on this forum would be tall, white, skinny as fuck, and from Tokyo or Antwerp. And if I'm not mistaken, omc is a slightly portly Puerto Rican of average height.

    A year is a very long time in the style world. How many people here migrated from camping out for Nike/Supreme blazers and to APC to Diors. A couple of authoritative posts on the internet and all of a sudden we are all lifelong devotees of handmade, artisianal goods from countries we've never even been to. Is that being insincere or just wisening up? If Kanye wants to act like he's the first rapper to get into Dries Van Noten, I'm cool with it. It's better than pretending that you used to deal or shot people up on the regular just to sell some records.

    I don't even like Kanye's music very much nor do I think he looks good most of the time. But as a kid he used to enter oil painting competitions and went to school on (I think) a classic music scholarship. Who knows what hobbies he had and what supergay magazines he's been reading and for how long.

    edit: And yea those sneakers are fucking ugly.

  12. I think Nigo doesn't have many close friends so buying stuff makes him feel good. I also kind of felt bad for him after reading that, without really knowing more then that about him. weird.

    I actually liked him more after reading the article. Considering that he hangs out with all these rappers I figured him for the type that fell ass backwards into money and just buys shit to show it off. But now I feel like he simply a type of otaku, and I can identify with that. Like.... he doesn't collect because he's rich, he became rich so he could collect.

  13. what 4.90 t shirts? i was in the Soho one over the wknd... i didnt see any of those..

    They're upstairs in the left corner. They're plain colored Ts in plastic packages next to the underwear and socks. Fit is a little long though.

  14. where can i get these rereleases? they're black right?

    You can get them at most big retail opticians like Lenscrafters. I got these for my Rx sunglasses about a month or two ago. Lenscrafters has a coupon for $100 off any Rx sunglasses so with that I basically got the frames for free.

    I highly doubt the frames are actually made in Italy. I'm pretty sure they're made in a Chinese factory and as long as there's some assembling/post production done in Italy they get to be stamped as "Made in Italy." Still great quality for the money though.
