Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

I have been trying to think of a way I could make my own, but in the past they haven't turned out. I tried using iron on printer paper and it always looks off.

Could I come up with something less ubiquitous on my own for 24$

Cheap screen printing kits are cheap. You don't even need any talent--just the ability to trace the word Coke and then some patience to paint in the negative space. It will be a little rough looking, but that just adds to the charm.

Use CafePress.com or one of the dozens of other online self design t-shirt apps?

They might give him **** for printing a Trademark. Although, I have successfully printed copyrighted and TM material with Zazzle (they offer AA Ts). I'm not really sure if or how they check.

Print-on-demand sites. I recommend MySoti; have used it before with excellent results. Comes out to about $25 shipped if you use an AA blank. Better than that CafePress or Zazzle junk, imo.

They're pretty different, based on your aesthetic I'd say the 2nd, based on mine, the first (I'm also biased towards circle glasses). I'd only buy one, because for $20 I don't think the quality will be up there so you may get sick of them quickly, better to have lost $20 than $40.

Was thinking of buying a raw denim jacket. Levi's only seem to have one raw jacket in their shop, the Red Tab:

Link to the only website I could find good pictures of it. Or the Nudie Conny Jacket, but I don't know how I feel about the swirl stitching on the back.

I like the Red Tab, but I'm not sure about the Red buttons. I cant decide whether its different enough to look great, or something they shouldn't have changed. Advice or other suggestions are of course very welcome. Cheers. EDIT: Oh I forgot the price point. Both jackets are around the Â£115 mark, That's about my spending limit.

Y's by Yohji, 06/07 AW season

The size is dead perfect (19.5" pit to pit, 36" length, 23.5" sleeves, can't get any more perfect), but the guy is in Russia and wants a wire transfer

^^I wouldn't get either of those denim jackets. Continue the search or save a little more and buy one from one of the Japanese Repro brands.

Damn Nana. You gonna try to figure that **** out?

The seller calls them vintage AEs in shell cordovan.

erdawe · Apr 23, 2009

They have potential to be shell, a better picture of the toebox would help. Personally, I don't like the stubby vintage toebox of those, but that's me. Also, get a picture of the inside before you buy, could be gross.

Looking for a good spring/summer jacket. I'm feeling like getting a military/field/M-65 style one. I have my eye on these two and was wondering which you guys would prefer, but I'm also open to similar recommendations.

Calvin Klein Military Shirt Jacket- $74

Army Navy Mall M-65 Field Jacket- $71
