I am soaking up the sun in socal big alex.

Barneys sux btw.

Eh, it's not terrible but yea, def not that great. Mostly button ups, blazers and a knit or two.

I mean, I could go to Alan Bilzerian which is about as good as any other boutique in the country but i feel really guilty walking in there. You have to buzz to get in, they have a no cell phone policy and it's a relatively small store with really really friendly staff. They know i can't buy **** and i feel like i'm wasting their time even the time i went there and actually had a small convo with the guy. I feel like i need to get all dressed up to walk in.

The Morishita stuff they carry is really nice. Their own house line they're doing there is actually pretty solid. You'd probably dig.

I could have easily blown 15k if I had 15k to blow.

Ya that buzzer sounds pretty awkward. It's pretty cool here I mean I know the manager and this dude who's there virtually every day so it's like I'm kickin it while I try **** on and we talk about how people are scared to wear ****. Nobody here really tries to sell you anything like they do at most places and they don't act fake at least not with me. The newer guys possibly though.

im really looking like a harmless reg dude today. Blue Nb 576, khaki twill carpenters, tucked in light blue Gant shirt, bright red patagonia fleece vest, and on top a blue FjÃ¤llrÃ¤ven greenland parka. However, I do not mind it.

Who stocks NdG or W+H in Brisbane?

Nobody, I believe he meant it's easy to find online.

choowy · Sep 17, 2009

That makes more sense.

Just read a rumor that Dior wants to get Slimane back. Anyone have more details on this?

You can get by online, but really, your judgment is impaired.

Especially if you're paying top dollar for good designers, you won't be able to see the difference on a low resolution photo on a website, or feel the difference in fabric for that matter. The worst part by far though is the sizing, because each brand has its own ideas of fit and the cut of a jacket/suit/pant that might flatter one person won't flatter the next, even if they are both the same size, whats more you might need to size up or down in a particular cut to get it to work with your proportions, it's hard enough to choose when you are able to try the pieces on.

New SF noob phenomenom: asking about obscure budget brands. Like we're personal shoppers.

ex. "Hay guyz I want some chukkas for $100 or less can any of you attest to the quality of these chukkas made by a local shop in Maine?"
