Two quick ones:
-Anyone have negative experiences returning shoes on theshoemart.com? Their FAQs imply it's pretty simple, you can get a full refund but they charge you $8 return shipping.
- Easiest place to sell lightly used Alden Indies? Here or ebay?

How much do Acne raws stretch in the waist and how much would I need to size down? And can anyone tell me what the sizing works out like? What would a size 30 waist in raw measure with BiG?
I'm looking to buy one that will eventually end up being 16.5 at the wasit.

Which model? Acne tends to be a size bigger in the waist depending on the cut. When I tried on the Max, I went down to a 31 when I'm typically a 32. They don't stretch that much but then it also depends on how you intend to wear them. Size down too much and you're going to have problems fitting in them as they're fairly slim to begin with.

mic black rigid in a size 30. What do you think the waist would measure? I assume these jeans are meant to be worn skinny then? I wear 30 in N&F WGs. I prefer a fit thats not too skinny... From what I've gathered, the Acnes don't stretch much? So 30 may be to small?

Mics are the "fuller" cut that acne offers, I believe. You'd probably get away with sizing down depending on the measurements.


I did actually try... Couldn't find anything useful. Some comparisons of sizing in regards to other jeans, but not a true measurement of the mic rigid... I think I better play safe and go tts...
Would Acne Mic rigids be worth $80 new? Or can they be found cheaper? I haven't managed to find cheaper yet...

Are monk straps (single or double) acceptable for someone in their late 20's? For some reason I only see them worn in the MC section so far.

I don't think they are really restricted to certain ages. That said, I think monk straps run a higher risk of looking like complete **** compared to other shoes:

Can anyone identify the brand of this shirt?

Its a blue checked shirt, looks quite a heavy material. Its most likely from this or the summer season, have a feeling it could be by a Japanese brand? I really like it so any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks
