  1. Are they selling smalls on the online store now or only for certain releases? I know they've been doing it for the schott stuff.

    I'm pretty sure they just do it for button downs and certain other pieces, I don't know if there's any sure-fire rule they follow. 

  2. I visited Kicks/Hi while I was in Oahu earlier this year. They had a really large selection of stuff I wasn't expecting, the most notable I guess being Missoni Converse and both colors of the Inventory x Converse collab in a lot of sizes. The guys working were really nice too, gave me 10% off my purchase just because. It's worth checking out.

  3. Well, they messed up my order and sent me the wrong Basquiat button down. I've already sent an email, but does anyone know a better way in which to contact them?

  4. After an excruciating forty-minute wait and about 25 calls, my order for the black slip-ons has been placed. The guy on the phone mentioned that he's expecting everything to be sold out by Monday. Good luck to everyone else!

     

    Oh, and I paid 10 for shipping.

  5. I don't want to shell out Acne or Our Legacy prices for a garment I view as relatively disposable, so here are my findings regarding the cheap white tees that I’ve tried and can speak about accurately.

    I am 6'1" 150lbs and have been wearing medium Hanes ComfortSoft tees for a long time simply out of necessity. They were selling a seven-pack somewhere for real cheap and they seemed like the smart thing to go for at the time. At this point, they've been washed a great number of times and look like shit, are too short, and too thin to do anything with but wear around the house and underneath dress shirts, which are the only reasons I'll be hanging on to the surviving few. Other shirts I have that are old and absolutely abysmal in quality include Jerzee's Heavyweight Blend, and Calvin Klein. Both have slowly started to disintegrate.

    I have recently had some experience with some Hanes Beefy Tees too, which are indeed thick, but are too short in the medium. These are suitable for the colder months as a functioning layer, but not suitable for casual Summer wear. I have also tried the large size version of these, and while the length is pretty good, the sleeve width is too large for me. I have also tried a tall version of the large tees, and I'm content with them. The sleeve width being oversized looks intentional coupled with the long length. They also seem like they would be very functional for men taller than me. Overall these are okay tees, but not for this season. I will continue to wear these. They’re roughly seven dollars a piece on eBay.

    The other day, based on this thread's suggestion, I finally broke down and picked up some Costco brand Kirkland white tees and I think that these are the only casual tees that I ever expect to buy from now on. I purchased a large, based on Amazon reviews saying that they'd shrink a lot after the first wash, and I'm glad that I did. I ran them all through a wash and now they're essentially the perfect weight and length for me-- not too long but long enough to accommodate my abdomen, and not so thick that they're unbearably hot. You can get a six-pack for 20$ at Costco.

    American Apparel tees are an honorable mention, but they’re just too thin for me, and sometimes the neck is so tight it looks weird.
