I just moved into the Raleigh-Durham area, does anyone know of cool shops to check out here?

i'm planning to invest on a pair of alden cordovan wingtip in dark burgundy. i like to believe that the dark burgundy would work on any color of dress pants/suits (e.g. charcoal/gray, navy, black, etc), is this right?

Yes.

How do Margiela shirts (both 10 and 14 line) run? I'm somewhere between a 36 and 38 and I don't know what I should get..

My chest is ~37.5-38". What size should I buy my EG workshirts in??

Thanks!


EDIT: My normal dress shirts are ~20"

What's quality like on Comme des Garcons? Are their other lines (shirt, homme plus) diffusion or just differently oriented?

If my jean size is 32x30 and I bought a size 32x34, would it look weird after I get it hemmed?

Looking for brick and mortar stockists in Paris for the following:

nigel cabourn
ute ploier
cc poell - l'eclaireur that I know of - anywhere else?


have these shops on my agenda:
kitsune
apc surplus
rick owens
surface to air
studiohomme
bless
damir doma
jacenko
thomsen
merci
kokon to zai (may just leave it as been to londres shops)
april 77 (jeans for friend)

Only if it's tapered, in which case it'll end up being a lot wider at the hem than normal

I just bought some Ransom chinos and they fit a little big big. it says the shell is 100% cotton. will it shrink a decent amount if i wash it?

A few questions: 1) Where can I get some good belt buckles? I'm looking for a plain matte black/gun metal type one. 2) Which brands specialise in leather goods (belts and wallets) that are affordable? I know of just Tanner, Makr, Billykirk. 3) Which stores/brands carry nice streetwear shoes and boots in size 39? (I did a search before and couldn't come up with much.) 4) Where can I get affordable slouch neck tshirts? Thanks!

On conan just now Lifehouse was playing and the singer had on a really cool denim jacket. Type 3, looked raw, red tab, and black buttons. Does anyone know what model levis that could be?

I would like to know too.

1. Tough one. Other than the occasional crafts/leather goods sites, finding buckles like that is hard (most are sold wholesale in bulk). I've looked all the fuck over, but keep looking. Most will be chrome or brass. John Wye sells his stainless buckle separate (abt $15?): http://www.jonwye.com/Black_Brown_Belts_s/34.html 2. PM user 'Unlucky' here. He's a leatherworker. He gets mad business and is crazy inexpensive for the goods. See his thread: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=57676 His pictures: http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg197/unlucky62/

Does the AG brand own diesel? Is thier a connection thier? Just curious
