Why is Ushowu calling the 40x01 denim "Paradise" jeans???

And selling Cheswick/Whitesville stuff as Sugar Cane?

Holy shit nice find Doc! The 189 is my favorite shirt in my closet. You mean I could start all over on another pair of 7161s? ;)

Those Ushowu prices are insane. Even ith the discount and VAT taken off, the chambray utility is still more than retail.

^ That's exactly what I thought, I did the math and shit, that's still more than you'd pay anywhere here in the US.

thats why i never buy in europe :)

except that collector one.

Yes they are and good friends of Christophe :-)

I guess they had no choice way back but being expensive. To much taxes, higher markups etc over here...

Doc,

great find, I've been after another CPO shirt since I sold mine like a dickhead last year.

How much was it?

Does that shop sell online or could you help me out?

cheers

They're made by Toyo, not Sugar Cane.

Toyo owns Sugar Cane.

Ahhhh. Okay.

^ Kiya is right!

Also, most of Cheswick's stuff is cheaper than other labels like BR's, MF, etc. So selling Cheswick as Sugar Cane is a little bit, um, not cool.

The Whitesville and Cheswick stuff are also a bit all over the place in terms of material and country of origin...gets a bit confusing unless the retailer gives out a good set of specs, which Ushowu doesn't.

Palladium is an old school French manufacturer. They started out making tires and started making footwear in 1947. The French Foreign Legion wear them apparently....the denim version would probably be non-reg tho'.

I like 'em.....they're a sneaker that's not a sneaker if you know what I mean.

I like 'em too! I used to have a pair that would get constant summer use on canoe trip - great boots!

Not sure if I could stomach the expected Mr Freedom price tag, tho! But imagine the evo.... ;)

On the MF site the price is listed as $149.95.... seems pretty reasonable.

sean, resist the urge.

They look just like the Israeli desert shoes I wore in high school, as re-imagined by the Fresh Prince. I love the look of most MF stuff, but these are bad.
