Shitty old boots from ebay, kinda margiela-ish. Not bad for $10.

[mono14]

Finally succumbed to the peer pressure

I usually like a jacket/coat to be long enough to cover my ass, but spruce hoodies are about a foot too short.

Oh well, I like it anyway.

[xcoldricex]

hoodies are not supposed to cover your ass.

[nairb49]

^^def seconded

[herpsky]

haha

agreed

[mono14]

Haha. I guess I wear my hoodies oddly. But the hoodie's definitely short, both in general and sleeve length. Either that, or I have a very long torso.

Been shopping a lot lately... and still more to come.

Raf Simons Sweathshirt F/W 05/06 -- this is extremely oversized, went 46 because my size (48) was impossible to pull off... I would have to get a 42, if that even exists, for it to look like a normal 48. Not that I'm complaining, I wanted something oversized.

Yohji Yamamoto Tank Top -- simple, but I loved it.

Alife Slip-ons

Obakki "Military Bomber" -- this is an absolutely perfect jacket, by a great local designer. I would probably buy half their jackets if I had the money (not that they're expensive, this one cost me $490 incl. tax)... great construction, amazing details, and luckily (for me) so far not very popular ().

One note, if you live in Vancouver or anywhere close to Vancouver (like Seattle), you absolutely have to visit Komakino -- they have great selection and most importantly F/W is 50% off, plus they still have stuff from older collections (F/W 05/06, SS06) which is 60-70% off. By far the best Vancouver store.

And obviously you have to check out Obakki.

hoodies are not supposed to cover your ass.

Unless they're by Rick Owens, in which case they cover your knees...

[xcoldricex]

monks are an exception. duh.

[mono14]

Fuck. Caught me.

Haha. I feel retarded now, but this is what I was talking about, albeit very vaguely.

what do the locations represent? Alberta, Canada.. never thought that would show up on a raf simons piece

Still trying to find the connection... all of the places have some connection to railroads, but in some cases even that is debatable.

Someone, get me Raf on the phone, quickly...

I bought these in Japan a year ago, which is still a recent purchase to me.

Graniph- cheap tee, only $20. I wish it was a different color but I like the drawing on it. Sorry for the fuzzy image.

Printstar

Takeo Kikuchi x Lupin the 3rd- got this at Marui Men in Shinjuku. I still haven't watched the anime but the shirt looked cool. Was on sale.

[herpsky]

rirawin is a baller.

[LanceP]

rirawin... Nice man, you must be all set with basics for a bit now haha. Love the Christos as well. The F.I.L. store still has them?

[prima]

nice christos!

what are they retailing for in japan?

[sycamore no more]

Yeah, sorry the photo was a bit crappy... here's a better one.

The chain is 50cm long, ideally I want one which is 75cm... won't believe how hard it is to find one that length!

Ah nice pickup Rira, I was contemplating about getting that one or the octopus one I got. Alex + Chloe makes some real nice shit except I think the chain is kinda bad quality.

[damnIam]

I remember seeing photos of these incredibly old Barbour jackets that had just been worn to death and they were simply gorgeous.

Basecontrol grey henley top

2x Visvim Sublig S/S border tees

Visvim bi-fold wallet

Visvim Christos

Edifice v-neck woolen jumper with v-neck l/s tee (bundled together)

nice stuff rir, does the border tee have buttons on the collar or something? I just got the henley in a similar color

does the bifold fit in a back pocket by the way? I wanted to get one but thought it might be too big

[mike lowrey]

ah it was the tag that was covering the collar..

dont most tees come in S though? atleast the catalog has them in S, and I have a couple of older tees in S :confused:

[chronoaug]

Sag, that napoleon coat looks pretty bad ass.

Rirawin, where did you get the visvim stuff? The border tees look pretty cool and i was looking to get some online or from a catologue if i could find one.

[herpsky]

[ddohnggo]

how much are the margiela sweaters?

[herpsky]

like 45 bucks...?

it's pretty funny how average consumers spend the same amt of $ on shit clothes at stores like banana republic. LOL @ them.

[ddohnggo]

how many margiela sweaters do they have? barney brick and mortar stores ship, correct?

[herpsky]

yeah. there was a bunch left. they even had some white shirts in a full size run. but

they were like "see-thru" super-thin dress shirts. like your nipples will be visible.

i dont live in Boston, FYI.

for those who are @ work, you must LEAVE right now and go to Barney's.
