rick anecdote: a few years ago i went to nyc with magician and vanna (gosurface), and we were in soho and checked out atelier/rick. while in rick i was talking with the SA and she was like 'we have a pair of sneakers in your size in the back that got returned, ill let you have them for like $500.' they were all black leather high tops, the original ones from a couple years ago. almost did it.

i would have worn my balmain sleeveless but it was at the dry cleaners.

jil teardrop knits get jealous when they see my metallic lanvin polo

I remember you mentioning this before, wasn't it cuz of some staple issue? Also, what prompted them to offer you them?


when I went with uncontrol and his gf they were very hospitable. I was the only one who bought something, but they gave them the same dust bag and collection posters, etc for coming by the store.


sq4you, whats a good dry cleaner in DC? I realize you are in san diego now, but just for future ref..

yea one of the staples in the back came out (because rick sneakers are made like $90 nikes).

was just talking to the SA. they are very friendly. same with the people at atelier.

go to chan's in georgetown for a good dry cleaner.

So, a confession of mine is I use to wear jcrew a lot, and I almost joined a frat, lmao. Probably would have been swimming in poon instead of julius.



you're definitely right about the SAs...had two bums enter the RO store while I was trying on a denim jacket, and they were like that cost 1k??? "wtf, I can make that for you myself" one of them interjected, and the SA was talking to them nicely and didnt ever say anything negative no matter how rude they were, I felt bad.

nah man. that was just superbobo. you can't hate on superbobo.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
I like it but it is thrown off by your hair...looks like you might be trying to grow your hair out? Have you considered wearing a hat? I did hats/ bandanas/ all sorts of stuff while growing out my hair. In your case, a hat might be good to cap off your hair but also balance out the look and give you an opportunity to add something more interesting to this otherwise good-fitting but unremarkable fit.

Kills it

lol dw i tohught that was your stomach but its actually your belt -_-

Question- I'm sure it's been covered before but why do people blur/ obscure/ crop their faces in WAYWT pics? Is it because of some privacy issue? Or because people think fits should be based on clothes alone? I think it's helpful (in criticizing) to know what somebody looks like when judging a fit (eg Otter's comments in TOJ about what color leather works with what complexions, or any number of references about what face shape/ hair color/ etc works best with what glasses/ colors/ etc).

Sig'd

You have decent clothes but you look like the definition of a mouth breather. Trim you beard, close your mouth in your pics, and give your pics some movement. I like what you are doing because your clothes are different than a lot of stuff that is posted here but you need better pics/ poses.

Slashy slashy!

the fanciest one is probably Parkway Drycleaners. they will do all your luxury clothes. they would handwash most of my margiela stuff. but they are expensive. my tshirts were normally like 18 bucks. knits are like 20. jackets and outerwear might be like 25. i cant remember exactly.

it might not matter to you since you do all black errythang but they are great with colors. will not fade at all or mess up exotic paint schemes. like my margiela spray paint stuff, my prorsum canary blazer, and all my jil stuff came back perfect.

they will store your winter clothes in temperature controlled rooms during the summer, and vice versa. they pick the stuff up at your house and drop it off too. id also get personal letters from the manager.

they cater to all the old chevy chase bags that wear rick and chanel.

for basics id go to a more plebian place downtown. got the job done though.

thanks, been wondering where to take my cardigans
