  1. What's the work in question?

     

    Developer/coding, office job.

     

     

    Bepositive's are a pretty good balance between fashion/wear to work. There were some cheap ones on thecorner.com for a while, they're probably on Yoox.com now. The blucher's and wingtips with the airmax soles are pretty sick.

     

    The Lunargrands are my go-to when I need to dress up for work. I've got the penny loafers and the wingtips and I love them. (Would recommend sizing down 1 full size with the penny loafers).

     

    Exactly what I needed. Thanks for the Lunar reminder, I forgot all about them!

  2. Recently got into a wreck and need to pay off a high deductible. I have a reputable eBay profile here: link . These items are heavily reduced to sale and have been sitting in my closest. Kimono was purchased from Sri direct, Boro from Hickoree's (Links provided). Payment via Paypal please. International shipments just add $7 for shipping. Please PM with any questions, happy to discuss!

    Sri - A Pieced Flannel Han Juban: Silk and Cotton

    Description:

    Flannel, or neru as it is called in Japan (a contraction of the word furaneru or flannel, as the Japanese have borrowed it), is an imported cloth which became available in Japan sometime in the late nineteenth century. This han juban, or half-under kimono is hand stitched from commercially produced neru or a cotton flannel of a mid-warm brown plaid pattern.

    Unlike most Japanese garments that have a center seam running up the back of the jacket, this one does not have this detail; the cloth used to hand stitch this han juban is wider than the hand loomed cloth native to Japan, so the back of the garment was not pieced.

    Pay special attention to the collar, which is fashioned from a silk, shibori dyed obiage, a kimono accessory used to hold the obi knot in place, but in this case, it is repurposed and is the collar of the han juban, which, over time, can be removed or changed out. The sleeves of the han juban are piece from two differently patterned commercially produced silk textiles, the color and design effect being a lovely, graphic one.

    A bit of fraying to the seams under the sleeves, but other than that, and a few original repairs, this garment is still very wearable.

    Description

    Japan's mended and patched textiles are referred to as boro, or ragged, both in Japan and abroad. Boro textiles are usually sewn from nineteenth and early twentieth century rags and patches of indigo dyed cotton. In most cases, the beautiful arrangement of patches and mending stitches is borne of necessity and happenstance, and was not planned by the maker.

    "Kasuri is the Japanese term for what is commonly known as ikat weaving. The kasuri process involves yarns being tied before they are dyed. The areas where yarns are tied are 'masked' and will resist dye. The way in which yarns are tied will determine the look of the finished patterns which will be woven into the cloth."

  4. you should prolly list the size, jus sayin

    This is such an excellent point haha.. The size is 30. I'll post it with pictures in the market later today so I don't spam up the discussion.

    Loving the description in this "The impression that I tried on: 12oz is the cloth which it is easy to wear while being chewy not to think of to be it"

    Couldn't agree more! But on a serious note, I'm in North Carolina and the weight on these is perfect considering the projected high in my city for February 1st is 68 degrees :wacko:

I'm brand new to sufu but have good feedback at SF (profile link) and even better on eBay (link). Shoot me a PM if you have any questions!
