8 HL astroparkas that probably sold for $400 each on Y! originally https://www.grailed.com/listings/359508-helmut-lang-8x-astro-moto-jackets-parkas The guy I sold Virgils to is freaking out on Grailed, demanding that I call USPS because the tracking hasn't updated since Saturday. | ||

A prof of mine teaches a class called "The Politics of Fashion," and I have the reading list. Here's a few of the themes: Does Fashion have Politics? Fashion Theory Distinction and Hierarchy Industry and Production Style Politics Fashion Police Colonialism/Imperialism Global Economies I bolded the ones people here might be most interested in. I can post up selections from books, or discussion questions or something. | ||

Also I just kopped this Undercover. I remember seeing the FW15 lookbook but then forgetting about it. Lots of cool influences and mix of tailoring and streetwear. http://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2015-menswear/undercover ![[image loading]](http://auctions.c.yimg.jp/images.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/image/ra214/users/4/5/2/8/takoko3939-img600x450-1441328325cwgxw732616.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://auctions.c.yimg.jp/images.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/image/ra214/users/4/5/2/8/takoko3939-img600x450-1441328325mkskvo32616.jpg) | ||

Although I feel like this platform isn't probably the best place to talk in depth about that kind of thing. | ||

I think we'll be ok if we shy away from gender politics and focus a bit more on aesthetics and industry/manufacturing stuff. I have to look through the list again, but I'll try to be selective for readings that would be relevant to what's already discussed in the thread. | ||

![[image loading]](http://media.saddlebackleather.com/image/upload/w_800/01-20-0004-SM-TO-NP-C-22-1900) Can someone please explain the appeal of these things? They are bulky as fuck, weigh more than the stuff you probably can fit in them, and are generally obtrusive. It's almost like you are carrying the bag just to carry the bag. Not to mention that opening and closing them are a nightmare every time. | ||

Edit: I'm interested in reading based on the will of others in this thread I've been looking at, in addition to what has been mentioned in this thread (Cote and Ciel, Mismo, Makr, etc.), stuff by Sandqvist and Killspencer. I'm looking for a black/minismalist-ish one though, IDK what you're looking for. | ||

Is there a black combat boot with a lug sole and wide last that doesn't have weird details? | ||
