your tried camping stores? Other than that beat poet had some nice woolen fingerless mittens for about $90 last season, might be able to find then still caus a lot of kids wouldn't pay that much for gloves you could buy at cotton on or jay gays

i reckon they are pretty sweet..

edit: They be permanent fingerless

They are permanent fingerless, but really nice.

I have one pair left for sale if anyone is keen.

a77 has hit general pants. fail.

[kickeye]

like a77 too. i wanted a pair of them 07 johnny thunder joints. still might cop but fuck thats annoying... they will be hyped up on every sydney teen hipster in a couple months. thanks gp. btw did they have much range of it? and whats price points? cheers.

[savage science fiction]

I like A77 too, Im glad shit is becoming more readily available to us here in Oz but I agree about GP carrying A77. Will probably get chewed up and spat out when the next 'new' thing comes along. I could be wrong though

[Raff]

haha yeh it was about 18 when i really wanted to step up to the plate. shoped in smaller boutiques though, bought hypebeast shit like dunks and graph brands. Also bought lots of tees from record stores.. hah beastie boys and shit...

when i weas real young 12-13 i would be completely decked out in volcom, lol.. but yeh was pretty heavy into surfing, eski lid and skating.. Never rocked billabong, quicksilver though all of my mates did, thought it was to generic so i bought skate brands instead, dickies, element, alphanumeric etc.

lets hear some more guys/girls... do any girls surf this thread.. speak up

When I was really young, say primary school, I wore Billabong, Quicksilver and the like and then as a teenager I was really into music, metal especially, so I mainly wore band shirts, levis black jeans and doc martins throughout high school - no real brands as such.

Then out of high school I started wearing less and less band shirts and started getting into various brands like Carhartt and other brands that Central Station Records clothing dept. stocked - graff type shirts etc. Around the same time I guess I wore Ben Sherman and the like and shopped a heap at General Pants. Oh yeah I also forgot I wore a tonne of Zoo York.

Then I guess late 2006 I started looking for better denim and brands, and of course like many, discovered Nudie Jeans. From there I read the MyNudies forums and then onto here. Its funny to think back only a year or so ago I dont wear any of the brands I used apart from the odd Nudie's or Fred Perry polo.

Although nowadays I wear higher end brands that look a thousand times better I also dress alot more conservatively than I used to. Neutral colours, minimal prints (if any), plain yet high quality shoes. I guess I have found my particular style that suits me and I rarely stray from it anymore.

[nufish]

hey does anyone know any place good to spend a couple of nights? Yeah its uni holiday bored bored and I am thinking about going somewhere (within a couple of hrs drive from sydney) with a bunch of friends including a girl I am after. So anyone got any idea?

[kpnv]

hunter valley? wine would help.

newcastle?

wollongong?

blue mountains?

[profiterole]

Anyone know the pricing on the a77s at GP? only ever seen them at incu at around the 200 dollar range? would they be on sale now at incu?

[kickeye]

dunno bout gp

as i have banned going in there but a77 not on sale in incu. im pretty sure all a77 stuff is new season in there....plus its more than likely that gp will have similar price points anyways. incu had price drops on heaps of stock though. like 50% off now stuff that has been on sale. if your in the city/paddo worth checking out.

[homme.homme]

urban outfitters started stocking a77 so of course gp would follow... i am guessing a77 distribution picked up their game if incu is stocking it again and now it's at gp.

meh. i would still wear it, not that i have any but i do want some dischords.

[jcotteri]

i be getting discords soon home. i'll let you know how they go

[Tyro1]

A77 costs $195 at gpo, support the smaller boutiques, and cough up the other $5 I say...

also I love dischords!

[home]

[Tyro1]

[Guest walt]

sup dudes, i'm moving to sydney tomorrow and i'll be there for 4 months, goin to uni of sydney. i'll be scrounging this thread for places to shop and bars to frequent more. but if anybody has any good places to go out i should know about i would greatly appreciate it. this is my third time living outside of the US and i always hate feeling like a tourist so lets meet up, get drunk, do graff, whatever.

[ajax]

i'm at syd uni too.. On holidays at the moment tho

On another note.. Anyone have any black skinny jeans they want to unload? I need a new pair quick.. Around size 30

Please pm me.

Edit: asking here cos i can't go out and buy.. i only have money in paypal.. and have no cash =/

[profiterole]

^^^ man, i got nuthing, just sold my cheap mondays to a friend, size 31 anyways.

Came across a pair of CON cubism for $150, are they decent shoes? and is the price fine? they come in white only?

[jcotteri]

yep thats a good price. I would cop, but yeh be warned these shoes are not your every day shoes, you can't go clubbing in them or wear them tooooo hard.. They are for gentle use, though that may seem like a stupid thing to say i think it's just a good warning if you don't have experience with them previously.

no they also came in black..

[kpnv]

150 is mad cheap. where to robokop?

[jcotteri]

hey this thread is at 2,222 posts..

I talked to an employee @ the Pitt St GP(Near Imperial) he said GP are now heading a different direction and instead of selling all the exact same shit they will now take on heaps of new "indie" labels as well. He was surprised at the reception A77 were getting from the some fashion "elitists" as explained to him, as he had never heard of the brand previous to his store stocking them. Quite a cool guy, surprised to see even the staff getting tired of the exact same brands and styles coming through. He also gave a plug for the store new denim brand "Standard," i've never heard of it apparently its Australian, with "quality denim + cuts" they're opening a store near Puma(Paddington) on Oxford next week, i'll give them a peek.

[seven.homme]

just bought black joey colordrive from dorby den crown st, $195

[jcotteri]

hmmm i don't think i will buy in australia at these prices. I wait till jap site goes on sale then cop there..
