    The NEW Helmut Lang

    Eh... I don't know, because Pre-Prada and Post-Prada Lang are very different in terms of little details. Pre-Prada was largely produced by Gibo, which is one of the highest-quality manufacturers around. Post-Prada, they switched Lang to one of their own makers. When Prada bought Lang, they...

    CLOAK to shut down after Spring 07

    He would have been perfect to head up Helmut Lang!. Helmut Lang in the hands of The Theory Group is like handing the keys to your new Bentley to a blind man!. in the case of the demise of cloak: one benefit of naming your label something other than the designer's name is best seen when others...

    Anyone else tired of buying expensive jeans that don't fit?

    I have bought three pair of jeans online that don't fit due to the seller not giving me the proper actual measurements. The last pair was a sweet pair of Lee 101B's with the half selvage. They are supposed to be 36/34 but are more like 38/36. I paid more than I should have for the jeans as the...

    nom de guerre

    $200? hell, that's a bargain. try $300-700. guilty as charged! Not offended at all. Resonable, hell no! lol But I guess niether is $200 denim, but half the board is guilty of that. For me, it's a quality thing as well as getting a subtle look that will last. I personally wear jackets for...

    Neil Barrett Boots for casual wear

    i've got a pair that's very similar. and if they are like mine, they're actually pigskin, and not cow leather. i would highly recommend them. a few years ago, actors like brad pitt, jake gyllenhaal, etc. were searching (or made their assistants search) the ends of the earth to get their feet...

    Wtf is with the name "acne" jeans.

    funny, about a year ago i was arguing how acne was a stupid name on superfuture, and people were treating me like I was insane.

    Polyester: what up?

    the thing i don't like is that i sweat like a farm animal in them in the summer. which may be the odors people are smelling is themselves as sweating pigs. the advantage of them though is that they dry quick and are never wrinkled.

    A Gilded Age

    either that, or in the spirit of 'deadwood', sporting empire beards and calling everyone "c***sucker".

    A Gilded Age

    rag and bone definitely tapped into that look you describe. either way, it seems a hell of a lot smarter to go with r&b, 5ep, etc. over a gilded age. and if you want to spend the money for gilded age, might as well go with 45rpm. i bought that oxford they offer on the r by 45rpm website...

    A Gilded Age

    agreed. it seems that the asthetic of the late nineteenth century is 'very' in right now. just look at all of the clones of barking irons' t-shirts.

    A Gilded Age

    What are people's impressions on this new brand? as for myself, I can't help but think it's too close to r by 45rpm in look and philosophy.

    EIGHT-G 880S XX natural indigo denim

    the 45 rpm jomon is natural indigo, though not affordable at about 800. both the edo ai and the hawaii have a natural indigo model, which is within reach for around 350-400. samurai, and i think pure blue, has one too, which might be found at blue in green.

    What I'd wear today if I was given $1500 to spend.

    exactly where is drinkwater's, just past Porter on mass ave?

    Is it possible...

    i think this is the case where one can see the allure of raw denim. buying pre-distressed makes it impossible to have wear that exactly matches your body. furthermore, your own wear marks superimposes onto the pre-distressed marks, creating a bit of a weird effect, especially with the whiskers.
