I actually do need a coat for winter but it won't be for another 3-4 months. Is buying visvim stupid? They're used at a good price. The skagways I was eyeing months back and asked about here is being paraded around SF like it's some hidden OP. so if you're not copping the coat mind sharing where you found this?? still searching for a merino in sz 3 (yeah lol) @Pulse: raf sweater is hella cool, slightly regret not getting it when it was available  I need to post more here, keep forgetting this thread exists since I don't come to TL any more | ||

Virgils are gone also cuz I wanted to ask my cobbler if he could re-sole with a non-vibram sole. Guess you can't sleep on those things but I didn't want them thaaaat badly anyway. The merino was a size 5, no man walks alone will be selling a limited amount and also shipping the pre-orders sometimes in Sept. mm that's a shame. can start saving for s/s15 at least | ||

so hender scheme is a relatively small sneaker crafting company and they used to take custom orders, but that stopped after a particularly rich & famous customer dumped money on kashiwazaki for a custom pair that took far too much work to make. apparently this customer was kanye west and kashwazaki had no fucking clue who yeezus was lmao you can thank based yeezy for the lack of custom orders now. | ||

How do you protect yourself for non ebay sales? I'm selling something through forum/paypal payment but the potential buyer sounds super sketchy. Should I take a picture of the package or what? | ||

I have no qualms if you think my shoes are ugly, but if you're going to start your argument with "I don't understand some of these "fashions"" and expect your point to be taken seriously then you're in the wrong place to post. It's hardly an insult when the truth of the matter is that he decided to post for zero reason and contribute nothing to the discussion while shitposting. tl;dr: you can claim something is ugly but if you're contributing nothing to the actual discussion about anything other than your uninformed opinions then you can just get out of the thread. ![[image loading]](http://cdn.solecollector.com/media/sneakers/images/raf1834blk_02.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i0.wp.com/store.hypebeast.com/media/image/09/44/a2c8a8d797f2fe1fe3c4c04aa053.jpeg) on a more design pov on raf simons velcros: the low velcros are poorly designed in the toebox area. the area where the large toe creases actually get pressed down by the round metal curves (velcro caps? not sure what they're called) and can cause blisters on the foot. the high velcros have the caps higher on the foot region, allowing your foot to crease naturally. i like the aesthetic of the lows but like overall they're hella uncomfy. maybe they require breaking in? maybe my toes are too long? Did i call them ugly? Nope I didn't. I said I don't understand it and asked if a certain style was in. That was your chance to explain why you value that fashion and what you see in it. I didn't shit post, you actually took what I said personal and went on the attack. I walked away was was just going to forget about it until you had to keep going on about it. Could I have phrased it differently? Sure, but I like to have a little fun with things. Now if I am going to call anything ugly..those chrome pinked shoes would definitely be it. :D the other shoes, like I said, remind me of 2000's era JRPGs and lots of anime, but not ugly. | ||

I was lucky enough to cop the mainline ones from the MOUNTAIN F/W12 collection for just slightly over $300CAD shipped. Checked the tags and everything seems to be legit. They're actually heavier than you would think to be - I was taken aback with how much they weighed. I got them in a size small but I'm pretty sure that I'd fit into an XS even better - so probably the same for you, Andy. I'm kinda short for them and they end just at my knee cap. Will probably post a fit pic sometime soon so you guys can see how it looks like on an average skinny person. | ||

Your body is built for function, and clothing should be too. Wearing a suit brings focus to your tapered upper body and strong shoulders. Wearing saggy cargo shorts hides any definition you may have in your quads/glutes/hamstrings/obliques and makes it look like you can't run anywhere due to range of motion restriction. You instantly become a helpless manpenguin hybrid. H | ||

You instantly become a helpless manpenguin hybrid. We can use the example of solders in modern conflicts that often have slightly baggy uppers and generally very baggy bottoms in combat situations. While the dropped crotch does restrict movement, regular cargo shorts are designed similarly to BDUs, which are baggy to allow full range of motion. This further conflicts your point presented above even further as I'm not sure if you even know what you're talking about. Your clothes have to be somewhat baggy in order to have full range of motion, unless you're wearing fabric that forms to your body (spandex). Yet if the clothes are baggy, they cannot show the full definition of your body. Did you even think this through before you started trolling? | ||

H tbf if we were trying to wear clothes that flatter the masculine figure as much as possible, we'd all be dressed in underarmour with shoulder pads or something drop crotch are something that changes up a normal silhouette, creating something like an elongated torso. it's definitely not something you encounter every day, hence your aversion to something like this. with the way things are at the moment, clothes have not been about portraying hyper masculinity for quite a while; today most clothing is designed with the ideal body of taller, leggier ectomorphic men in mind. | ||

after I wear out these new japan blue memphis cotton slubby tapereds I just got. They fit like weird guys but have much better fabric and construction. Really great value and definitely the best I've tried on at this price point, can still see a significant difference in fabric between this and PBJs though. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qHVCapdl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/t8RCDwLl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yvmzNXOl.jpg) | ||
