I am sure you have a nike store/stockist in proximity - I advise to try them on, they are fairly fitted.

 

sold out in my town, I cant (im from France)

[herpsky]

The tech fleece are probably the most comfortable sweats I own!

Aren't those sold out like everywhere? I looked for charcoal both in JPN and US but no dice.

[mojorizin69]

I'm 5'10" almost 11" about 150lbs lean build I guess you could say, I went with medium, a little large in the waist (~30 in denim) but fit great throughout the leg

[mojorizin69]

I'm around 5'11'' for 170 lbs (generally size 33/34 with other pants) so I think the L I ordered will work (I hope)

 

Thanks

Hey idk if this is suppose to go here but most replicated/fake visvim items ive seen have sizes writen as M S or L. Are all replicas written this way? or are they both writen as numbers and letters? help a new guy out.

Anyone got any recommendations for thick t-shirts like Raf at Jil Sander AW 11 quilted shirt? I think Raf Simons does a few but wondering if any other brands do it.

patrik ervell is very popular for doing his sweat t-shirts

[frasier oiseau]

Whodinihimself has some old Helmut Lang sweat t-shirts in his sales thread

Where can I find black scotch/pebble grain derbies on a crepe (creeper) sole?

Don't want to have to buy Alden, as the "Black Regina Grain Plain Toe Blucher" is probably the closest I've found, though I'd prefer a less sleek silhouette and a creeper sole

if u fit 9

not exactly what u want but these the nicest pebble grain ive seen in a while

[Calbeee]

what do you guys think of the new qasa racers?  should i get?

[Avant Grade]

try posting it in the yes/no? thread. however i personally wouldn't buy them

[oh snap]

Is this kind of wear typical on docs or did I get a bad pair? They are MIE "grease black" and about 2-3 years old. I realize docs are kind of meant to be worn and not given a fuck about but the cracking looks pretty bad. I'm considering a new pair in different leather but if it's normal I'll pass. I put dubbin wax on them pretty regularly and they look better when I do, but I didnt use any until after they started cracking a bit so maybe that didnt help the matter.

[skeetinmynose]

Typical of any leather shoe.

 

If you don't want creases, or want to minimize them, use shoe trees and rotate shoes.

 

But fuck it, Docs are meant to get beat to shit.

I was wondering if I could get a general opinion from someone who knows apc about the quality of their knitwear? (not denim)

 

In particular I was looking at this: http://www.mrporter.com/product/395296

now please take into account I'm in high school and making Canadian minimum wage, so $240 shipped is the largest purchase Ill be making in a while lol

 

if anyone could straight up tell me if the purchase is worth it for knitwear or direct me to something better yet similar in the same price range (under 250) I would very much appreciate

thanks

 

[oh snap]

Creases I'm OK with its the finish flaking off I don't like. Granted I've worn them pretty hard so maybe I'm not being fair to $200 shoes. I'll just keep them as rainy day beaters

[FinleyB]

It isn't really worth dropping 170 quid on a pretty staple looking jumper imo.. Not saying APC isn't quality, it is, but you can get just as nice woollen jumpers for much less. 

 

Or you could try and find it on sale, Mr Porter does fairly heavy reductions on things occasionally. 

[david10d]

no.

 

i regret buying my APC knit even when it was 50 quid.

[Nullsleep]

Anyone in the US who has ordered from nittygritty care to comment on your experience with customs fees?  

 

Were you charged? If so, how significant were the additional import duties?

Edited February 6, 2014 by Nullsleep

[cdglove]

could anyone recommend a designer with some similar wool knitwear?

[herpsky]

Every single APC piece (maybe except jeans) I regretted buying. Boxy, weird silhouette. OK material. 

 

You live in ON. Why don't you go to Haven or Nomad and cop something on sale?

[xpaulinabearx]

Anybody know where I can cope fly knit chukkas in total crimson in size 6.5? Thanks

[sunny D]

beyond superfuture and SZ does styleforum have anything to offer?

[frasier oiseau]

Some decent threads on specific designers, even with all the w2c: Schneider, Ervell, Yamamoto

Got a couple of APC knits I've over the years and actually have one from years ago that is the same as the one you posted. 

 

I guess the wool is quite soft but I wish the sweaters were a bit more sturdy. The neckline on one of mine (the same as the one you posted) lost its shape after a few wears... and the others also don't seem to keep their shape as well as they should. 

 

Wouldn't buy anymore from APC. Check out Arpenteur and Howlin - some of the better wool sweaters I've got are from them.
