LOL. Says the dude who wears RO sneaks...

FWIW, I love S2A but they don't do the **** NiCo does. At all.

Really? Better quality or better design? Cause we may have different ideas on the design aspect.

OK, I was wondering cause although I don't know a ton about S2A I've seen some of their pieces and I haven't dug them as much..

Who may be right about the comparison. I guess Cloak really is NiCo but great. OF course it's a higher pricepoint (thopugh not by a huge margin) and it's defunct now.

Maybe Robert Geller too. There is a NiCo shirt at Barneys that's a pretty direct rip of his cadet shirt.

I wish Geller made tops in size 54. His discrimination against the big man depresses me greatly.

What style of shirt would you call this? Rag & Bone Division Shirt

Really dig the fourth look on the opening page: http://www.shopfarinellis.com/s-2-men.aspx The term "division shirt" doesn't seem to be commonly used but I really like the style.

What other sneakers would you compare to RO? Just curious...

Aside from direct rips like DBSS I'm not sure I see many like these.

Really ugly IMHO and I'm surprised at how much I like R&B stuff irl. I think I'm actually gonna get a piece or two this fall. They did a really cool tux jacket as a Barney's exclusive.

Btw, Fuuma do you read Purple magazine? A co-worker just lent me an issue and I'm totally hooked. It's surprisngly unpretentious given the subject matter too.

this is my first season looking for clothing (beyond basics i suppose), and i have no clue where to take my wardrobe.

i like the tailored cut of mod but i also like the traditional aesthetics of prep. i like some pieces from R&B, shipley, apc but i feel this is too narrow and i should be looking at more brands.

i guess this comes w/ time?
