It sounds dorky, but there are a lot of memories in those pants.
Thanks, me too. Maybe if you add your voice to those clamoring for its return in the TOJ thread, Drew will bow to the weight of the overwhelming cacophony and re-release it.

(Click to show) it's lilldavid from sufu. He's styling on 95% of people posting in this thread. I mean, your opinion might be a little off base if you have CDHagg cosigning you.

Get a shirt that fits in the shoulders (and neck if you're going to wear it closed) and everything else can be taken in to your liking/comfort. That's everything one needs to know.
Oh... And don't dunk selective parts of a cotton shirt in boiling water. What works for knits doesn't work for shirts.

What I take away from SW&D is that it's populated younger people dressing in a perceived fashion-based idiom, outside of their actual personality. People like SVB and parker are dressing, in my opinion, directly within their personality and work environment and, as such, can move out of SW&D and into here.

I do kind of like jack purcells though and I like a lot of old Nikes like I can see that the cortez is due for a revival, which is probably happening anyway and I just can't see it. I like classic sauconys a REAL lot, would probably have those if i didn't have the NB thing
