Club Dorothée had you covered. My fav was Max et compagnie.

RIP Cabu

I loved Ulysse 31, les Cites d'Or and Albator (so weird)

A while back I got a pair of Vis boots in 9.5, my left foot was a bit squished in the left boot. So I thought my left foot was about a half a size larger than my right foot. Right foot fit perfect.

Just got another pair of Vis boots in 9.5, now my right foot is squished but my left foot is perfect.

things that are high on fok's list of priorities:
- more belts
- perfecting the leg triangle choke
- driving @synthese to the brink of insanity
- finding more **** to indigo dye, or over-dye black
- photography classes (not sure about this one)


1) My next belt purchase is in the planning/designing stages

2) Where possible, I prefer the arm triangle.  There is just a lot more control, and you don't end up getting your face punched in/in a scramble if you have to bail.  Plus, on really inexperienced guys, you can do it from the guard or standing, both of which are fun.

3) Mission accomplished.  The court mandated that we send him to Japan for "relaxation".

4) I'm looking for a cat.

5) I've actually gotten decent at taking photos of subject which are not me.

6) Actual priorities - getting our podcast channel planned, more and better newsletters, hopefully new features for the forum platform, Monitaly project (stay tuned), family stuff.  


You're going to overdye a cat?! :uhoh:

Why are there no jacked fashion inspo's?
Rick Owens is like the most "jacked" designer around (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Also, who makes denim in a high rise 19cm cut nowadays? I like my pair of Levi's but the hem is too narrow when wearing with boots. @Synthese has some cool jeans but I think they are old APC denim. I remember the New Standard having close to a 19cm but the rise is ridiculously low. Uniqlo bottoms are also all low rise for the most part, or t he rise is great but legs too narrow.


I don't know if I'd call them high rises, but I wear 3sixteen's SL-100s with slim boots and Stevenson Overall Co's 767 (the Santa Rosa cut) with heavier boots. The second has an even wider leg opening than the 3sixteens, but it feels a bit more at home with engineer boots and whatnot.

Alright everyone. I am now officially closing this chapter of Random Fashion thoughts, and starting a new one, here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/480819/random-fashion-thoughts-part-ii-a-new-hope

After a certain number of posts, threads get a bit unstable, and take up more render time. and this one... is there. Over the next few days/weeks. I'll be gradually doing this to a number of our mega threads. Moving the last 50-100 posts to that new thread. You guys should feel privileged to be the first... or something.

Cheers,

Fok.
