anyone in here got feedback on love thy neighbour shooz?

qaulity/fit/durability?

[kpnv]

i tend to think the construction is cheap and crappy given the pricing, which is like over 100 for a pair of canvas slip-ons. in contrast, a shitty pair of rabens is 20 bucks, normal vans are under 100 and MJ x vans are around the same price. the patent ones look like a poorer version of swear.

but quality and durability have nothing to do with their shoes. its all about the steez. at the end of the day, they are still better constructed than rabens and look better than vans.

i reckon ther

a pretty decent shoe. i picked up a pair of the pointy white leather ones a while ago while they wer on sale @somedays for like 75$ i think it was... dont really wear them too much but pretty cheap anyhow. they r comfy too,unlike most shoes of the same type, they got a real nice support for the arch of your foot which i like. quality is not the best, the leather isnt that good, but i do reckon they will look good with some nice wear and tear,especially the darker ones. nice shoes to wear on the odd days/nites out.

Edit: I meant close early. So they DON'T close early. And are open till late. Late defined as past 4am on weekends. Or till 2 on weekdays.

Victoria Room, Darlinghurst ey?

I was actually looking for places in the city [yes I know that Darlinghurst is really just next door] but yeah.

Well you're not going to find what you're looking for in the CBD. I think you need to explore around Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Potts Point

so is hanavie still the place to go for haircuts? or have people migrated to shinka? are the prices in shinka the same as hanavie?

[styleofmind]

It's not the place, it's the hairstylist. If Ryo's moved to Shinka, then that's where I'll go

Probably will go sometime this weekend.

Or next week when I'm on holidays.

[kpnv]

price is still the same with ryo. 50 bucks for guys.

I was happier with a haircut from Revo and I'm sticking to my stylist there.

Prices are around $40.

revo works in hanavie? which salon is less busy?

[woody]

Hey guys,

Does anybody know the trading hours of the Cheap Monday Bondi store? And if they are open at all from this Friday (Good Friday) to this Monday (Easter Monday)?

Does anybody know if they stock these items:

(The low neck white shirt and low v grey cardigan) They are S/S 08 from www.cheapmonday.com

Thanks!

[homme.homme]

they definately wont be open on friday. no where will be.

to be honest I didn't even know there was a CM store in Bondi - is it good? I have never been a fan of the brand but in their latest collection I saw some cool geometric print jeans or tights or something that I want to get.

[woody]

Yeah I like it. I just buy alot of the jeans because they are cheap enough to thrash around when I go out clubbing. I never even looked at the shirts and stuff to be honest, but after seeing some of the stuff on the website I'm pretty interested.

It's on O'Brian St, at the end where it meets up with one of the streets perpendicular to the beach (maybe Hall St, can't remember).

I guess I'll just give them a call and find out.

[ben_253]

homme, you prolly already know, but for CM close to the cbd you should check out that store on oxford street.

[homme.homme]

yeah i have seen the stuff on oxford. there is really only one pair that i want and i dont know if they will have them... i have to dig up the image...

[corey]

Homme, Vlada did a good job hemming my trousers. Finally tried them on. Thanks for the lead.

[ben_253]

Where does everyone go out on a thur/fri and sat around here?

[corey]

Oxford Art Factory, Hot Damn! and Purple Sneakers because they play music that I like and EVERYONE dances. I like the pubs hidden away in Darlinghurst, Paddington and Woolahra.

[styleofmind]

Everyone come to my event next Saturday! 29th March. Asking nicely! Haha.

Other than that, I hear good things about Arthouse Hotel for drinks. Was at the Ship Inn last Friday night for a few beers. Asahi on tap. Great value too.

[jq3k]

laundry, sneakers, world bar

[arisu]

I'll probably be there, styleofmind. remind me the day before tho

haven't been out since I got back to Syd. I second jq3k's suggestions

[ben_253]

noone goes to bandits or starfuckers @ 77?

[jq3k]

ive been to 77 a few times - its abit ....scene

decent tho

fucking bathrooms are trippy as

[ben_253]

haha yeh.. but the music is soo good.

[vee_dub]

Hey all',

Looking for a pair of raw denim for my gf's brithday...just wondering which shop should i go to?

Cheers,

Dubbo.

[arisu]

a bit of an open question.. there's not much in australia for girls. what's style is she looking for?

[jq3k]

easiest option would be to head into your local gp and get her to try on some nudies

(tight long johns, high kais etc)

might not be a good idea actually

[LaiShin]

Considering that Australia has really limited choices when it comes to raw denim (even for guys), I'd skip that idea.

[woody]

Haha 77 was better when every man and his dog didn't go there to be "underground"

My female friends all seem to be large fans of Acne jeans. I'm not entirely sure if they're raw denim, but the choices here are pretty limited, even when it comes to Men's wear. And then obviously, you have Nudie and Cheap Monday I think? Some companies actually do come out with selvedge denim for their female jeans but... I have to confess, it's been awhile since I've gone shopping for girls so I can't think of any off the top of my head.

revo works in hanavie? which salon is less busy?

Revo is a hair salon, not a stylist.

To avoid the busy times, make an appointment. ^^
