Where can i buy WTAPS vans in NYC or is there any online shops that sells those vans?

[Stevesanders]

Whatever happened to the Ale et Ange shop on Rivington Street, NY?

Could someone help point me in the right direction; I'm trying to find some pants with a similar style to these:

(ann demeulemeester cropped pants. these are a few years old I think, so not much luck finding a pair for sale).

Please keep a modest budget in mind. As much as I wish I could afford to drop $900 on a pair of pants, my budget is going to be about half that, at most.

I'm ok with used. Thanks in advance!

^s/s gyakusou warm up pants can actually do something similar, but on the outside of the leg. aesthetic rather different tho. 

[Rain Dogs]

hmm, something to consider. unfortunately it looks like they're sold out nearly everywhere.

thanks for the info!

[jackg]

can anyone suggest some interesting well constructed outerwear??

[Nebulae]

^anything in particular you're looking for when you say interesting?

I've always loved Stone Island/CP Company/Ten C's fabrics and those all have ridiculously good construction.

[jackg]

Sorry a bit vague I realise, but I honestly don't have any real specifics (in my head I was thinking something more along the lines of yohji/rick/ann but I am really open to whatever)....SI/CP/ are a bit too techy for my liking if that makes sense, but Ten C certainly looks interesting. 

[Nebulae]

yah I getcha.  Can't say I know your style too well since I've only seen you in full Gyakusou/running b4 but I could just post what I think is pretty cool

FW13 Junya patchwork blew me away in person.  I'd imagine the ones with dark tones would be pretty versatile too

I was really impressed by Siki Im's summer bomber for SS12 so maybe checking out some fall/winter outerwear offerings might be worth your time.  

Lee Roach might fit the bill too.  I probably couldn't wear it but it fits the black-minimal style pretty well.  Only at DSM though...

brown pair can still be had in a size large up to xxl at sneakersnstuff; everyone seems to suggest size up 1 so you're in luck if you're a medium or larger by default. love how the knees are vented, too. x_x

the grey pair's ideal but those sold faster, haha.

ah... really like the sasquatchfabrix fisherman's jacket from japonism sunbeam (s/s 12) but hard to find now 

grail piece ._. 

also very nice imho is this raeburn jacket; if you're quick about it you can find it in oki-ni outlet in a sz l for half off 

hear there's an all black iteration for f/w; wait for that if you find it up your alley but prefer it in that color 

happy hunting

[Nebulae]

^I'm kinda sad that I didn't hit up the Raeburn sample sale when I was in London.

I don't really remember what I was doing that day but it kinda looks like I missed out.

Hi all, been trying to figure out what the shoes are in this image:

 

[Nebulae]

^Feit x Outlier Supermarines

[burgerblackout]

^Feit x Outlier Supermarines

 

Dude, thanks a bunch.

[burgerblackout]

Is there any shoe that is similar to this but perhaps a bit cheaper? The outlier ones appear to have sold out a lonnnnnngggggg time ago.  I know the svenssons are similiar... maybe options like that?

 

Not about to spend 400 on some common projects either :|

[Nebulae]

^prob should just go with the svenssons esp if you can catch them on sale.

Lanvin and Acne do a similar sneaker but they're just as expensive/more expensive than CP's

check this thread as well.  

http://supertalk.superfuture.com/index.php/topic/133486-cheaper-versions-of-typically-expensive-items/

I remember there being talk of some brand that does shoes identical to CP but I'm drawing a blank

[Sean9]

those don't really remind me of cp.  check out nike match classic instead.

[burgerblackout]

Not exactly the same, but I just went with the Vans Ludlows in boot black/turtledove. Pretty cool, only 80$.

[jackg]

thanks nebulae and gndmshtlrd! Some good ideas. 

 

what do you think about this one? I like it but worry it might look a bit bathroom robe esque....?

Edited August 7, 2013 by jackg

[Nebulae]

Think it looks nice but I feel like I would only be able to wear it semi-formally (button-up, dark pants, etc.)

Might go well with some ninja attire too.

Woven/check pattern could go either way.  I think for me it's a very nice piece of clothing but I wouldn't (be able to) wear it.

[Flipflop214]

has anyone used repell well? http://www.repelwell.com/

 

Any feedbacks? the good the bad and the ugly, if any.  I'm very leery of using this on my clothes and shoes.

 

Thanks in advance.

This has been driving me crazy, please help. I'm looking for a specific hat, it has like the NY yankees logo, except the Y is a "7" or some other symbol. Have done bunch of Google searches but can't seem to find it. Seen it a few times in New York.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it's driving me nuts!
