Brown moleskin type cotton fabric with a black leather back. Silver buckle. Size 85, measures about 31 inches from buckle to first hole. about 35 to last. Some light signs of wear. 1 1/4 width. SOLD.

Keds Triumphs, NIB, in size 12, color natural. Terry cloth lining. $30.

I wouldn't say I despise them, but Nudies irritate me. The cuts are great, and many of the washes (and the drys) are nice, but the branding is just overblown, from the stitching to the pocket shapes. Not to mention, the pricing blows. I have a feeling that in a few years Nudie will be seen in pretty much the same light Paper and Diesel are now - as good for what they were, but dated nevertheless.

There's a sucker born every minute. Apparently many of these suckers have a shit ton of disposable income.

Does Denimbar also do the discount on the gray NS? I'd like to pick up a pair in 32 or 31 if anyone has extras (this goes for the previous season's gray and black NS as well).

Thanks.

Here's a pair of Lucchese classis ropers that I've been bonding with lately. The more I wear them, the more I like 'em.

In Search of Lost Time

Portrait of a Lady (pretty much any later Henry James goes to the top of the list)

Mysteries (Knut Hamsun)

Marcovaldo (Calvino)

Moby Dick (cause it fucking rules)

Pnin/Speak, Memory (Nabokov)

Most anything by Natalia Ginzburg and Primo Levi

As I Lay Dying

Magic Mountain

Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina becuase they are each wonderful

(Although I have to admit that the Nudie branding is too much for my tastes).

I'd say my Calis fit one size bigger than my APCs. I'd size down two for APC, one for Julian Red.

Thanks, Tisswat, I'll be flying into Amsterdam on the 4th (be there a week), and N8 looks great. I've been searching for a list of denim shops to hit but can't seem to come up with any - are there one or two shops that I should check out to find some Acnes and Julian Reds? Thanks.

I have both in the same size and the washed are quite a bit shorter than the raw. Otherwise, they're a pretty nice change of pace.
