at big dub?

ouch!!!!

you talking to me home?

i'm confused.

[Pandemonium]

shit is whack!

imma wear plimsoles for the rest of my life.

[Pandemonium]

YMC IS FUCKIN OVERPRlCED DITCH DITCH!

[jcotteri]

perhaps... but some of their sneeks are quality...

[Pandemonium]

well, they look the same as fuck.

who cares if construction is great.

alpha60 = poo

[ri chi]

no offense but plims, esp $10 plims, are really boring to talk about. i like the YMC plims design cos of the toe shape, which isn't very converse-ish (imo a good thing)

has anyone seen any matboy shoes in stores recently? i ask because purestcut surprisingly now has the white ones (most sizes gone tho)

wasn't expecting them to be in the 300 zone. IMO they don't seem worth it; on closeup pics the construction looks a bit crappy (look at the stitching)

[home]

^^ look like shit. especially the 'dress shoe' one. and white. wtf.

i have a pair of the black sneakers from a few seasons ago, and whilst they do the job, the construction is fucking sub-par, especially between upper and outsole (no midsole to speak of).

i paid 100 bucks, and that was enough. 300 is outta control. although they have apparently improved the construction/durability.. 'apparently'

[ri chi]

i agree. so it's not just me that feels this way haha

though i did think these were awesome in the lookbook pics, i'm kinda underwhelmed now for some reason.. not feeling them.

[ri chi]

shiiiiiiit, you're good.

[Pandemonium]

i do what i can.

any secret trinkets around the city that tend to have good collections of good shit?

[jcotteri]

yeh i agree ri chi, the shape is on par..

EM's site only has a list of the labels they carry: http://www.easternmarket.com.au/

shoot them an email if there is something specific you are after, stephen replies very promptly.

LEFT stocks MA+, CDG, yohji ,peachoo and a couple of other labels.

[DJI]

no worries. they don't have an internet site yet and they tend to take a while to reply to emails. I'd give them a call if there is anything you are interested in on (03) 9419 9292, Mia is always helpful.

[supernudie]

....also, heard that an APC store is gonna open by mid-year

Fuck, looks like they decided not to open the store

[Pandemonium]

well fuck, it's obvious.

apc is not hipster.

fitzroy is hipster.

[supernudie]

I thought it was gonna be in Hawthorn?

Anyway it was supposed to be opened in Mid April

[DJI]

you wouldnt know if EM or LEFT having a sale anytime soon?

not that I know of man. a couple of bits and pieces from previous seasons are marked down usually, but the more interesting items are generally gone before they have the chance to be discounted. even discounted the stuff they sell in those 2 shops is still incredibly expensive.

sucks about the APC store, would have been interested to pick up some new cures.

[Pandemonium]

does cactus jam only stock new standards?

[supernudie]

They didn't have any APC jeans last time I went in there, vaguely remember there was some leather jackets and other apparel.

[home]

cactus jam has gotta be one of the lamest stores in melbourne. stock is yasldfjasdkfasdlkjcaljkscasdl. eurotrash.

[DJI]

^ agreed. only thing worth looking at there is the 2 pairs of c.o.n. shoes they picked up, overpriced acne and the danish dior homme knock off minimum. they haven't stocked apc for over a year now.

[seksu!]

^im pretty sure they ahd some new standards and rescues in fatppl sizes within the past 6 months, albeit a very small range of stock.

havnt been theere in ages tho. shitness

hows the aa store on chapelst? havnt been yet.

overpriced?

kinda want that emergency nylon jacket

[Pandemonium]

same prices as the AA online store i believe.

[jcotteri]

i love melbourne

[jcotteri]

i have only gotten my haircut once in melbourne, I payed 60 bucks and it was a shit haircut. The guys were not interested in cutting my hair, nor what i had to say, just my money. perhaps you have to be one of their loyal customers to get a good haircut. So i can only not reccomend you go to this place. It was upstairs in either the block or the royal arcade.. sorry tyro

[saepnirg]

if your looking for an asian hairdresser, renaissance at the Tivoli Arcade is good. been getting my hair cut there for awhile and its always been superb. $45 for a cut iirc.

[jcotteri]
