i asked scott (unlucky) to create a portfolio/clutch for me and went back and forth with him on the design.
a few questions now:
should i make this more rectangular(by shortening the height)? ...and add a 3rd pouch?

do you plan on trying to fit a laptop or actual inside of it? if not, going rectangular would look more sleek and subtle IMO

Just received those light wash geller jeans. Fit is spot on, nothing of jegging calf or diaper butt to speak of. I sized down one on the waist size (more like in between sizes and wen with the lower one) and they fit great. They are super faded though...but what I was after.

just an ipad, a moleskine, wallet+keys, pen and maybe a book/mag.

the measurements are 12 by 15 so im hoping its just the angle making it look square :eek:

looks awesome, but can't get over the fact that it reminds me of a polo shirt...

i guess, i was actually hoping it was a thick chromexcel with the hand stitching stitching :eek: ...kind of a briefcase vibe.

the leather is bridle so im not sure if hes completely out of hypebeast leather haha.

cost me 200 shipped. i was going to do 3 pouches but because i thought it was going to be thicker leather i reduced it to 2.

..when it comes in i might ask for a third haha

i call it the 'twin clutch' btw :D

This color (steel gray) shows up almost lavender on some shop pics. Anybody seen these in person?

I gave those some thought but figured I would have a hard time matching them with anything other than a simple shorts and t shirt outfit...

I kinda want a pair of those canvas ones (the new painted gats minus the paint). Still, struggle with the perceived versatility of those as well...

Don't you have like 8 pairs of white/grey shoes? **** versatility, get something fun :)


lol, you make a valid point.... and its kind of the reason I wanted to get the canvas ones.. :) Even if I would only wear them a handful of times a year

I ended up keeping the neon turqoise GATs and I've probably worn them like 3x a week since, haha. Versatility isn't such a big deal, especially if you have a pretty monochromatic wardrobe anyway.
