eh, whatever. sounds like cookie cutter brands to me!

You forgot Engineered Garments and a few others. I was just in there. As for these being "cookie cutter" brands, could you elaborate on exactly what you mean giant reptile. I would hardly call Demuelemeester, Raf Simons, and Balenciaga "cookie cutter" brands, or Engineered Garments, Junya Watanabe and Cloak "generic". And anyone who disrespects Martin Margiela's talent, whether they like his aesthetic or not is really reaching. No, they are not the most obscure brands in the world, but they are some of the best.

i hope you read this whole thread and interpreted that i was kidding!

[LA Guy]

^ Whoops. my bad. I'd been following this thread, but hadn't read it in so long I'd gotten you confused with that RedFoxx dude... Apology extended.

[Guest Fade to Black]

man giantreptile you need to chill with that shit...my comment wasn't meant to be taken that seriously, but i know you're just kidding so whatever.

In all honesty, that's a solid line-up...comparable to New York. I probably won't be in Boston any time soon (or ever, for that matter), but i'd be interested just to see what the store looks like.

[sarno]

i will go today and snap some pics...covert opps.

As I posted about 2 years ago, anyone wants to shoot me an email and I can send them a pdf of the store interior'

I dont see any balenciaga menswear on first view, am I missing something?

[350poundhotcakes]

i was in there yesterday...a nice fresh place for boston. they had a super wide collection of denim, not too much nudie, which is fine by me. dior homme is always fun to look at, pastel colored jeans are killer. but yea, i was impressed all in all, by the selection and the store itself. its a super nice layout, and im glad we finally have something of substance in boston.

BALDERDASH.
