Double 0 Soul

Glad you're well I'm back after a hiatus over the summer.. i'll probably disappear again when the sunshine comes back Are you still darn sarf?

How's it going stranger.. ? I knew i'd lure you back one day

Sorry for the late reply.. missed this Absolutely, but you've also got to appreciate that people can make a style look bad.. ie- a cheap suit can look amazing on a sexy M&S model and an expensive suit can look terrible on a silicone valley tech-bro, buying an expensive item, isn't enough to make it look good.. i'd see this all the time in the MF thread over on DB, folks would spend a kings ransom on an ill fitting CPO shirt.. then turn the cuffs back so they'd have these massive mermaid cuffs flapping in the wind like Paul Hollywood from The Great British Bake Off.. whereas other forum peeps with a bit more style made them look dope! JJs grandma (previous pg) looks like a middle aged Primark shopper (i'd guess at Susan or Deborah) Friday night, Dove & Rainbow, couple of pints of Carling and blackcurrant, bit of Whitesnake on the jukebox.. flirt with the kebab vendor.. i'm not sure this is the image he was trying to project when he was spending £1000s on his RO outfit.. Tragic really.. yet someone with a bit of style could make it look good... Same story with the oiversized RO boots and tucked jeans which you previously mentioned.

Ah fuck.. i finally get it, this is how you sell those horrible pumps, it's got nothing to do with the way they look and everything to do with the charm..

Stop trying to win me over, you!

Brilliant! I thought this discussion was sunk.. but you've managed to save it with a lifebuoy of a post Well done sir! 👏

I used to have a collection of vintage Air Jordans.. when i posted them here, maynard didn't like any of them! but i wasn't going to spend days trying to convince him otherwise or justify my reasons for liking them.. i just accepted it *deep inside tho, im still very angry about it

I think you've forgot to take the coat hanger out @youngofthesoonest .. but i get it It's a good looking outfit for someone working in the fashion industry, no good in my leaky workshop (lifestyle is the driving force behind everything i wear) what i get less is is the grey RO flannel which could work for me but it's $1335 and looks no different to a vintage Woolrich flannel i bought for £18, i think, if you're going to splurge, you might as well buy a statement piece if you can pull it off.. unlike the dude on the previous page.. his outfit just screams intervention order I also appreciate that SE is a retailer, your success depends on the sale of your goods, we wouldn't expect any SE staff to be entirely objective.. like the car salesperson who uses words like fun or quirky when what they really mean is unattractive.. it's lucky that you like RO clothing because you have to believe in it to sell it.. something i could never do... I'd get sacked from SE in no time

In other news.. The boy and I have just been down to Unit for some burgers 😋 ..first time i've had a Mexican cola ..man, i'm stuffed!

I hear a lot of folks giving me reasons why they think i should like RO.. but y'all just need to appreciate that we have our own personal tastes.. those tastes can be complicated, they evolve, i hate things for bizarre reasons, i love things for bizarre reasons, we all do I don't say you should like this music because they don't take themselves too seriously or you should like this food because it's somebody's vision or this film because it was indipendantly produced, there are some things we like, there are some things we don't, we're not all the same.. ..as i've said, some of the RO stuff looks great, some of it doesn't, some folks can make a good outfit look bad, some folks can make a bad outfit look good.. on a public forum, you need to allow people opinions and accept you may not share these opinions and 'reasons why' are not going to change peoples personal tastes.

I only shitpost about RO from my freezing cold workshop with water leaking through the roof and mould growing up the walls.. keeps it in perspective.

Couldn't agree more

Maybe, It looks like the double knees are causing the weird fold.. would i risk $800 on them looking great after a wash.. absolutely not.

Not really.. it's just a matter of some shit looking good and some shit looking bad, take this for example These jeans don't look great, the fabric doesn't drape properly which makes the guy look like he has some kind of weird penis balcony https://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3555&search=RICK+OWENS Whereas this fit looks great https://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3017&search=RICK+OWENS If you think the penis balcony jeans look good, that's fine, one man's meat is another man's poison or so they say.

Well you've completely missed both of my points.. i never even considered a 'pushback' against designer brands? My 1st point was the RO pumps are fkin awful (this is only my opinion and like arseholes...ect) they're worn badly by most who try, this has nothing to do with them being a designer brand, they're just not aesthetically pleasing. I posted some SC catalogues last week, a brand which is fully accepted in the denim community but imo 80% of what's in those catalogues is grim af.. just because it's SC doesn't mean i would wear it. My other point was that folks around here are buying these hideous pumps because they're sold at SE. Take our aging Bret 'the hitman' Hart character above for example.. he would never buy a similar Janet Jackson outfit from Primark, he thinks the fact that it's RO is validation but anyone with eyes can see he looks like a complete bell end. If your RO trousers look good, that's all that matters..

So i could start dressing like Janet Jackson's grandmother too?

..only because Brum folks don't have enough of their own teeth left to whiten

They're on Etsy.. ships from USA Ow! .. I had a nice Indigofera patch i could have sent you, i've just been rummaging through my boxes and i've found the matching bandana, i just can't find the patch.

Get it patched..

More old SC-47s

Holey shit, i'm glad you're ok.. get the jacket repaired.. it'll always be a reminder of how damn lucky you are.

Are the men folk from Leeds still rocking the allover spray tan and industrial strength teeth whitening look?

This guy from The Allotment store in Leeds is hilarious! I think he needs to spend a lot less on clothing and a lot more on counseling

I bought a pair in size 32" followed by a pair in size 34" the 32 was always a bit snug, the 34 was always a bit loose.. I wondered if you'd done the same

Lets hope the MSCHF credit card never gets rejected at Self Edge or y'all all be wearing massive red rubber boots
