Really..what happened?
My experience at captains was very good. I also had custom shoes MTM by the guys at Roberts & Hassett.

Thanks for the tip.

Great to hear. I didn't want anything skinny tight - so maybe these will work.

I have 2 pairs of jeans at the moment. One from Industrie and one from Wrangler. Neither really wowed me. The Nudies were a bit tight for my liking.

Just heard that a Comme Des Garcons pop up store is opening on December 8 in Melbourne / Rankins Lane.

Could I also get your thoughts on this:

Japan Blue 14.8oz Skinny Straight Vintage Raw Selvedge Denim - Model JB0201

 

I have a pair arriving tomorrow. Jay from Blue Owl has hemmed them for me. I have requested no cuffs on my jeans.

 

I took TBMs advice on trying on some jeans (Nudies et al). They were all great, but I felt like I wanted something Japanese, something not every common. Has anyone dealt with Blue Owl before? Surely these jeans are comparable in quality to Nudies/Just Jeans?

Would've thought it's a little late to be asking opinions on something arriving tomorrow? All you're going to achieve there is buyers remorse if it turns out you've bought a dud/something which turns out not to be SF approved.

Is it better to live ones life completely oblivious to the flaws surrounding them, or to live in despair having learned the bitter truth?

Having just dropped good money on it, I'd rather not look at it with disappointment every time I open the drawer - after all, they say ignorance is bliss. Plenty of time to discover its flaws on your own.

BTW guys, having a whale of a time over at the Jos A Bank website - they're offering 70% off just about everything on site (including shoe trees if you have midget feet).

Unfortunately there's quite a lot of items they won't ship internationally due to 'low inventory' - shoes, larger size shoes trees & some other accessories for example.
