I have some $10 Amazon umbrella. As long as the top is water repellant and it doesn't fall apart is good.

I'm still deciding about which to get. I dunno if rafs fit my closet as well as gats or something. They might be too edgy. Anyone have fit pics of velcros? I don't see many on sf

tbh i don't think they're going to fit too well into your wardrobe from what you've posted
I'm pretty sure a pair of boots would be better value for you, but it you want something in the same vein as velcros both vandals and astros are easier to wear

every time i see gats they're always so underwhelming. same with cp achilles, but the mids may be ok.

im somewhere in between lazy student in sweats with a flyknit obsession and pretend-trad without the blazers or shoes. my next kop is gonna be a shetland sweater lol. i think boots are probably better too, esp in the long run but i gotta trim down from the 4 sitting in my closet first.

i feel like raf shoes are too aggressive for me, i need something more low key, hence gats or mid CPs/SLP. underwhelming isnt so bad.

theres some mid gats on grailed actually lol http://www.grailed.com/listings/24015-maison-martin-margiela-black-mid-tops

Flyknit laces get undone so easily, bugs me so much.

Maybe I don't know how to tie my shoes

When they closed the oak street bootmaker thread it was still viewable from the closed affiliate thread gallery. I remember a bunch of people finding out the stitching on their camp oxfords or something is actually cosmetic, and the sole is actually glued on despite advertised as goodyear welted lol.

drew does all the designs and fit stuff.(metaphorically toj is his baby) charly is pretty much just pr and customer service. Dan (the other guy) took care of production and shipping

think charly does fitting as well
dan is the production manager, his dad passed during the summer so i guess that explains a bit of delay.
sally does shipping, and apparently drew does it now too
