i need a pair of sunglasses urgently as it became very hot here all of a sudden. i have no idea of brands, models etc. only thing i know is that i want to avoid wayfarers. my face is quite narrow and thin and the price should be quite reasonable. any recommendations? i'm thankful for every hint.

I saw a really cool pair of red suede wingtips on the Paris metro last week and i love wearing red shoes. Are any of these available?

Trussardi 1911 produced a pair for the spring/summer season. Problem is finding them. All I know is a few japanese shops carried them.

[Vampyrvargfesten]

just be corny at the corny prom, who cares?

forget about sufu for a minute and have some fun

damn

reminded me of this post

all i know is being a corny white person is actually kinda fun

today i wore a school hoodie and a lacoste polo shirt, drove to school with 3 girls who all wore uggs and leggings in one girl's range rover, had starbucks during my break, and i'll be playing kings later and then go to some shitty club and dance to top40 songs, and later hopefully get laid

who cares, its fun

i still get my daily dose of culture by reading mags and posting on here and having the occasional day where i style on crackers

i guess the point is dont be too hung up and full of yourself and your superior culture and youll probably meet some fun people

[herpsky]

Anyone see anymore hybrid jackets like this around with quilted body/leather sleeves?

What brand is this?

undercover down / leather combo jackets (second pic)

the first pic seems to be by U-ism but maybe a collabo with bape, NBHD, or some other urahara label.

those are really hard to track down. prepare to pay a premium for it.

retail is close to 1k.

[hurricane08]

Hello . I recently bought Rick Owens Hightops .I read people saying in forums that the sole will be quickly damaged and advice others to go to a shoemaker to add one . Do i need to add an extra outersole before i wear them?Thanks in advance.

I just don't think Moscots are high quality compared to other "fashionista approved" sunglasses.

I guess they hold up fine but I'm talking about the attention to detail, overall look, and etc.

-edit-

those lemtosh glasses are horrible. i've actually gone to the moscot store in NY to check them out. the first thing i said was "120 bucks for this crap?"

the definition of "high quality" is pretty subjective but they are pretty horrible.

Project No. 8 (support specialty stores)

I'll second the vote for Project 8.

Also, there's a Margiela store in NY...

[GermanBitch]

could somebody from france buy a pair of april 77 and mail them to the Us?

Of course I'd pay something for the favour.

They are listed on ebay france under buy it now ( i think).

Should have paid attention during french in school.

Any suggestions on good quality hangers for a leather jacket? I'm assuming it should be wide and possibly padded. I'd like any suggestions in lieu of the original garment hanger.

Just wear them regularly and once the heal is worn down you can have a cobbler put in a reinforced heal.
