  1. It'll work similarly to Canada: they'll likely introduce a handling fee to recoup money from a lot of the small value purchases that come through and consume a lot of time. There will be ways around it of course, getting a store overseas that you're on friendly terms with to send a package as a gift, but that wont be the norm.

    The comment about interesting brands was more to do with *if* the stores find they're getting higher turnover, they can afford to take some risks with lesser known brands or more niche stuff.

  2. Australian retail stores might get a boost and allow for more local players to stock interesting brands once the GST threshold for overseas purchases drops under the current $1000 threshold. Paying gst + the inevitable processing fee customs will charge will make people less willing to buy their stuff online.  

  3. played an hour of the Witness this morning - can't recommend it enough if any of you are on the fence

    Is it worth the price tag? Comes out to be pretty pricey in aus dollars so I was a bit hesitant when i saw it. looks beautiful from the pics tho.. how's the music?

  4. There wasn't enough in it to warrant being it's own runway show, just recycled ideas from the ss16 adidas capsule stuff. Thats said, I dig some of the combos and will definitely be picking up some of the kicks

  5. When you first wear Sock Darts, it's easy to think you should have sized down as the fabric has a lot of stretch to it. The solution isn't to size down (as the footbed is typical nike size) but to adjust the plastic strap to tighten the shoe and keep it stable.

    Edit: so in answer to sizing up 0.5, it's probably not bad because you can adjust how the shoe feels with the strap

  6. I've got a decent leather unstructured briefcase/laptop bag but I'm after something in a nylon material for non client work which is half of my week. Anyone experienced Cote et Ciel products and in particular the hudson bag? looks to be the specs I'm after but don't know if the brand quality is crap or not.

  7. will the collection be out in time for me to wear it to the new star wars film that is coming out in the near future?

     

    Here's hoping they have the courage to buy outside of the print tee & sweatshirt bubble. I'm excited to see their edit.

    sneakerboys 11 bbs buy was interesting - shearling vests etc

  8. interesting, i thought their service was good - stock could sometimes be underwhelming but i always appreciated what they were trying to do overall. another one bites the dust.

    should clarify: their web service is good, their in store presence has always been rude when I've been there. 

     

    It is a shame in that they have some great brands but seem to squander that opportunity by choosing the least interesting items. Sure it's safe but then why not just go to incu if you don't want interesting clothes/good fabrics.

  9. Personally I'd go with the flip flops that fewgale mentioned. They're a Rick classic and can be dressed up or down depending on your wardrobe and mood. If you have the cash, get a pair in black and pair in white so you can mix it up.
