Does anyone have an idea for a messenger bag I could use to go to school ?

I need to be able to put an A4 format ring binder in it, but since I am shiort, I don't want a big bag. Something around 13" x 11" would be nice. Leather or thick canvas and under 370$.

Thanks.

i suggest a filson briefcase. it's 16 x 12 if that's not too big. will last a lifetime. it's their slimmest briefcase, made from stiff canvas (softens over time). perfect for laptops. costs 195 (can get to around 150+ with styleforum discounts).

Not sure if this is the right place for this - but has anyone had issues sending large packages to Hong Kong?

I sent it on the 4th and it hasn't arrived yet . . . and I stupidly have misplaced my receipt.

How long does Customs usually take?

UPDATE on this one.

Got the delivery confirmation # from a very nice lady at the post office.

They tried to deliver LAST WEEK and again TODAY.

Anyone know any stockists that usually order Robert Geller shoes? particularly the black dress shoes.

MMM sneakers:

are they comparable to CP in terms of slimness and with a similar profile? do run true to size?

my mmm chucks fit about the same as my cp achilles, maybe only a tad slimmer, but same sole and similar profile.

Just moved to NYC from Seattle and I need a really warm coat (pea coat or a trench coat comes to mind) for the bone chilling winter here. I want something that is simple, classic, fitted and well made, preferably in navy or black. What do you suggest? I found this amazing visvim navy peacoat in medium in the supermarket that looked perfect except for the white zippers.

my search for a simple black leather dress show is proving to be much harder than i thought. Anyone have any suggestions brands/models/stores to look out for. 300-400 dollar mark?

derby or oxford styles, black leather, relatively slim/low profile (not repetto steez though). cap/non-cap toe. whatever.

[sawn-off chef]

rachel comey my man, we have them at odin in black supple yet soft leather, if you're located in the US give us a ring over at our east village location

[034936]

ahhh yeah, i tried them on (i think at your store in fact). the shape isnt right. i was also thinking something that was a bit more of a step up in quality (thinking grenson standard).

[frankie_four]

RC quality is such bad? I was going forward to buy the Uncle Dan...

EDIT: what about Paul Smith, Generic Man, Preventi, Officine Creative?

[HBlack]

my rachel comeys are made from a pretty soft/delicate leather, but i wouldn't call that a quality issue. the construction itself seems fine.

i was wondering, are Number Nine darted raw denim nice jeans or a bit overrated ?

[Lucas]

I am very satisfied with the quality of the denim. However you need to have just about no ass to wear sizes 2-3. Other than that the fit is great.

thanks for the answer. i'm getting a size 5, because i'm a 33 or something!

[benriya]

Is the waist sizing of APC (old) Standards the exact same as the New Standards? I know the Standards have a higher rise than the New Standards, but just wanted to make sure everything else is the exact same.

What's april 77 jacket sizing like? If i'm like a 38 chest would a L jacket fit me okay or would it be too wide?
