Who makes nice trousers nowadays? Not CM.

I know it's weird cause we're in between seasons but hoping to find a simple black trouser that I can wear year round (winter, for me, doesn't drop below 40F).

Used to be Ervell was a good source, but all i see are nylon track pants. Didn't see anything from Schneider this season, everything was too slim in the thigh. Dries? Acne? Margiela? Gimme some direction.

There's two schools of women's fashion this winter:
- moncler down jacket and goyard tote (ok, this isn't new)
- long coat, wide pants, Stan smiths

Sick of both of them. Bring on spring


In Japan I see a lot of bombers over athletic knits, wide pants hemmed above the ankle and black ankle boots with spike heels or loafers with socks. Auburn bob cut, thick eyeliner wings. Walk around Harajuku/Omotesando and you'll see about 100 black sun hats too.

Is there a good alternative to SutoCorp for Yahoo Auction Japan Proxy service? SutoCorp has been slow at getting back lately.


I help folks out here and there, not really in the business officially but you can PM me here if the seller refuses proxy buyers or something.

I saw nice ones this F/W from Margiela and Ann Demeulemeester. You can also find something from Acne (thinking of the "Stan" model) and Prada.

Uniqlo responded to me to say that slim tapered jeans have been discontinued. Anybody have a source for pants that fit like those? They don't need to be Uniqlo cheap, but 100ish or less is appreciated.

12yo was crowned the best whiskey in the world last year, so they are pretty much sold out everywhere and Hibiki 17 costs the same (aprox 300).




I bought that for under $100 at "danskebåten" a few years ago.


I bought one for less at the local grocery store, they had them lined up like they were Smirnoff ice.
