hey darkanimal, nice pickups. i'll be in london and paris with my girlfriend in a week and a half. any go to stores for either city that isn't listed in supermaps?

[darkanimal]

Yes some not listed here for Paris are:

La Boutique, Rue de Francais near Etienne Marcel Metro stop, small store that stock cool clothes like April 77, Unconditional

L' Eclaireur 3 locations

Le Marais, Rue Malher

Le Marais, Ter Rue des Rosiers (women store your girlfriend will love this)

Place des Victores

Rue Herold (the kick ass store that is like a secret store, you have to buzz in and a big metal gate opens automatic like a Batcave/dungeoun) It's behind the street from the Yohji Yamamoto store. You have to check it out even if you have no plans of buying anything.

www.leclaireur.com

what they stock: Undercover, CCP, Cdiem, MiharaYasuhiro, Rick Owens, Paul Harnden, Dior Homme, Ann Demm, Margiela.

Listed but go check out Palais de Tokyo, inside there is a designer boutique, the place is also awesome.

Go to La Defense Great Arche for something different/modern sightseeing. Raf Simons held his runway show here.

For London it's pretty much covered in the maps, supermaps are the shit. Have a great time and do as the French do when you're there. I fucked up my diet, great food hahahha

[ddohnggo]

awesome. thanks so much for the list.

[minya]

darkanimal, add those stores to the Paris shoplist!

[lyingonyourdriveway]

There is nothing more annoying than running a gel, putting all that time and effort into it

and having no fingerprint because something fucked up

Nice pickups darkanimal. I love the Rick Owen waxed denim, I have only seen the pants in person, but that jacket looks even better.

I guess you won't need anything from Y!JP fro a while

[darkanimal]

Yup, done/submitted. I noticed L'Eclaireur review is there already, so La Boutique is is new. I will also add this store Sharpeye from London in a sec.

The photos don't do justice, I have no plans of washing it either as it will alter the appearance. The sa told me the inner jacket will bleed black and told me not to wear anything light underneath. So I told her, "are you kidding, my wardrobe is 99% black, she laughed" Are you in JP already? will never know, maybe I will still need you, but yeah, I'm quite done with my shopping for the rest of the year!

[xcoldricex]

nice pickups. that scarf looks almost identical to the one i dyed black. like the rick owens and the jas mb (how much does it run in europe?)

to mods: can their be multiple reviews of shops? i find most of the reviews to be too succint- and it's always good to have more than one opinion.

I'm not yet in Japan, going in three weeks, but I can start ordering stuff starting next week. Anyway, it's completly off topic so pm me or catch me on aim!

Thanks man. Rick Owens was £275 but I am getting a VAT refund - £40 so it's £235

Jas MB £170 VAT refund- £10 = £160

[w_y]

^ ^ ^ That is a really nice and unusual find ... it should age quite nicely ... like my first Rawlings mitt did....I want one and i hate messenger bags

Thanks man, I almost got this one ( http://www.sportsaccessories.com/commerce/casual-pebble-grain-leather-messenger-style-c225-p-335.html ), but I splurged and got the other one ( http://www.sportsaccessories.com/commerce/leather-messenger-style-r225-p-36.html)

The difference in price is all about leather, that heart of the hide leather is fucking SOFT!

[poly800rock]

suit is super nice man

[xcoldricex]

came in the mail this morning, sorry for the redunancy in the waywt thread.

the lighting isn't all that great so here's the fabric detail:

margiela blazer. treated cotton, not really sure how, but i like it a lot. also came with a tag saying it should wear and fade nicely. sleeves are a bit long- but that might be intended since the 4th button on the cuffs has a false button hole. any idea why he'd do that? i'm not a suit-head, so forgive my ignorance.

Really great pickup.

As for the button do you mean the fourth starting from your the wrist or from the elbow? And judging by the picture I'm assuming you mean it's unbutonned and can't actually be buttoned because the buttonhole is closed., is that the case?

[xcoldricex]

the one closest to my fingers. its unbuttoned and can't be closed yeah. it also has semi-circle portions of fabric connected at the armhole where my armpit is (on the inside) and also a strap that connects from my left armpit to the top of an inner hidden pocket. i have no idea what those things are for.

[boystory]

no camera:

american apparel 'tyvek' jacket - grey

kim jones/umbro black crewneck

h&m flannel

I'm assuming he just wanted to create a sort of weird effect by creating what will be mistaken for working buttonholes (buttons that unbutton a now a rarity BTW, and normaly the mark of a high quality garment) effect instead of the usual fake closed buttonhole that we now assume cannot be oppened.

[cheapmuthafukr]
