For my required PE in college I took Waterskiing. It was great

We didn't have required PE, but I took Kendo for ***** and giggles. The twice per semester class wide battles were epic.

In retrospect I wish I'd taken some sports classes back then. My school was right by the beach so I could have given surfing a try.

Anyone have any pics of cool fits incorporating white button-down?
Obviously you can layer under sweaters, but like, any non-obvious combinations that turn out cool? (such as with a blue jeans-jacket)

?

I'd be interested in this too, have this filippa k cotton one I'd like to dye darker
But shouldn't be much problem if they're unlined and all the same fabric, or am I wrong?

 

[nahneun]

mine is all silk... and lined in cupro...... :foo:

 

[KingJulien]

I think silk will actually take dye better than most fabrics, I'd just make sure there's no visible stitching (including that holding the buttons on).

Why are you trying to dye all this super expensive ****?

 

[nahneun]

to maximize the utility of my super expensive **** :foo:

yeah, its a pain and a half. esp to get a deep black.

 

[nahneun]

i don't need a deep black. just a nice dark shade of grey

If this was including me, I got it on sale for 45$, and it doesn't look as "crisp" as it used to

Nahneun, I dyed using procion jet black dye from dharmatrading co and it worked extremely well. Black is a very hard color to dye a whole garment, but mine turned out perfect. It's a little more expensive and time consuming, but it yields great results. I dyed my linen/cotton geller flight pants that had faded to a very faded black, almost gray back to a deep, rich black. It supposedly works very well on silk too, I believe

One of these days, I will find a Gant by MB Avengers sweater for cheap. It would make a nice ski sweater.

Currently, I wear a New Belgium wool jersey.

Honestly, I liked quite a lot of his stuff this season, a lot of it was fairly wearable. Some even sold pretty well. Hope he keeps up on the path he's going
I like this "Transfiguration of Moo." MOMA is always a good bet but they often have rather bulbous toes and fit a size large, but Yoox usually has a slew of no name brands with basic derbies...

Wait size down one on Moma?
