tragicbliss,

i also just received my JR cali no wash in size 29. what do you think about the fit? i know it's anti-fit in seat/thighs...quite different from my 28 apc ns, 29 sjd. i can't quite decide if i'll like it yet. and out of the three, i like the feel of the apc denim the best...most rigid.

Yeah the fit is a little "off" on the JR Cali's. I think the rise is just a little higher than on my NS, but the look isn't bad, you know? I think they're just a different style. The denim quality is pretty good in my opinon too. I'm just worried about breaking these in. They aren't really a jean, that I can see myself wanting to wear every day...

I love those H&M pickups

were there alot of em there

which location did u get that at?

[ten100switch]

a week ago I saw a ton of those striped hoodies at the H&M at 5th/51st. I just wasn't crazy about the fit that I tried on and the black on the white/black ones wasn't very dark so I passed on it.

Somebody was at Nomad. Nice pick ups. What Visvims are those?

I love spruce but I really wish they made their sweatshirts with regulat sleeve cuffs. Mine get so streched out, and I just think the conventional style looks better.

also, did they have any Supreme stuff?

what kind of hoody? spruce?

Minya, nice visvims and spruce hoody. I've been wanting a spruce hoody for a while, but i've got too many hoodies, and now, too little money

[minya]

yep, it's a Spruce hoodie (and t-shirt). This is, by far, the nicest hoodie I've ever owned, nicer than the other Spruce hoods I own. The new season hoodies are made from 78% cotton, 22% polyester, so they're quite stretchy. I bought a size small which is pretty much skin tight on me but it looks fucking fantastic. I look like a fucking Japanese runway model. I love it.

The t-shirt is incredibly soft, and I love the heathered kelly color.

The shoes are Visvim Newton II's, made of suede, lined with pigskin. UNBELIEVABLY comfortable. They're chunky, yet slim. I love them. Nomad just got them in.

[ddohnggo]

man, those are some sick pick ups minya. i'm really digging the spruce hoody, and the visvims. i always thought visvims were over rated, but those shoes are really nice looking. are those shoes their interpretations of jack purcells?

[minya]

I agree, I thought most Visvims were overrated and overpriced but I fell in love with these a while ago. They're sort of like Chucks, except they're bulkier and 100x more padded. They have this bizarre complex system inside that pretty much acts like a sleeve for your foot and the tongue has about a full half inch of padding (covered by pigskin leather) and the heel is soft and padded. Crazy comfortable. They look great.

[minya]

oh yeah, Kyle -- all the Supreme gear is in.

That hoody is dope, I was looking on their website and I was curious to know if any places in the states carried them specifically in the NYC area or online.

[high_contrast]

damn minya you just got your tax return or something? geez, how much did all that set you back?

[sfiction]

nice visvims man Minya. I'm sure you'll absolutely love them. The newtons are one of my fave visim shoes. and they'll possibly last you pretty long. I've had my unrivaled newtons for about a year already and have been wearing the shit out of them and they still are holding up pretty well.

I'm new to SF and dry denim and stuff, but I've been a supporter of Visvim from day 1. It's one of the few jap labels I am still a fan of. Anyhow, just to share what my newtons look like.

They're a mix of canvas and elk skin, not suede like what the ones minya just got:

Minya, what size you would recommend in Spruce if I was 6 feet 170 lbs (I think I'm close to your proportions.

--- Original message by DJ_Flame on Apr 8, 2006 11:50 PM

DJ Flame, I'm a large in the slim fit, and a medium in the classic fit. My proportions seem similar to yours... 6' 175lbs, a 40R in most suit jackets. Hope that helps a little.

You should get either an L or XL. I'm 5'10 155 lbs, usually a medium, and I got an XL because I prefer a more relaxed fit. Ended up being too relaxed even after a few washes so I just washed it in full hot water and threw it in the dryer. Shrunk just right to a medium size.

SO yeah anyway, I recommend a L for a more fitted look and XL if you like something with a little more room.

There wasn't much, maybe about 4 as far as the hoodie goes?

Same goes for the sweater.

I got them at the 34th st. Herald Square location, across from Gap.

Damn Minya, those Newtowns are gorgeous. =O

in the 100% cotton hoodies (last season's hoodies, or their pullovers) you'd be a Medium in classic fit, or a Large in slim fit.

In this season's cotton/poly hoodies, which are stretchy, you *might* be able to pull off a small in the classic fit if you want an ultra-fitted hoodie, but I'd probably go with a medium to be safe.

FYI I'm selling my sz. Large brown slim fit hoodie from last season. It'll be up in supermarket soon.

AFAIK, currently Spruce is only sold in Canada for North America. approximately $200, for the best streetwear hoodies you can possibly get.

--- Original message by DJ_Flame on Apr 9, 2006 10:19 PM

actually I'm pretty sure they're in-stock in LA now... well, I don't know. It's frigging hard to keep up, heh.

Anyway, yeah, I'm in Canada at the moment, which is where I bought it. It's Classic Fit, size small. Fits like PURE SEX!
