Is having a weird name a pre-requisite for success in streetwear?

[lee_44106]

Shades of Greige?

Flathead?


Seriously, who came up with these names? Is it because the Japanese speak Engrish?

 

[constant struggle]

flathead is probably related to the engine component

and shades of griege is a play on 'shades of gray'

 

[zissou]

What's so weird about 'flathead'? Flathead engine, flathead screwdriver....

Grey + Beige = Greige

In before thread delete.

 

[impolyt_one]

Flathead is derived from their replica guitar amp head background.

And what's the deal with Vans? I mean, if I had a van, would I really need to be walking?

 

[onion]

Ask these people what they think of that:

Paul Smith
Richard Chai
Tim Hamilton
Marc Jacobs
Rick Owens
Alexander McQueen
Jil Sander

What's the deal with (insert item here) anyway /jerry seinfeld

Haha. This is better then Kent Wang's Zara thread.

And while we're asking, what is the plural of Converse, as in if I own multiple pairs, do I say "I have several Converses or Conversi"?

Post O'Alls- Did they run out of V's, E's, and R's?

Quoddy- Come on. It sounds like a venereal disease.

Nudie- Do they not want me to wear their jeans??

Fjallraven- Speak English, assholes.

Parajumpers- No ******* way.

Left Field- At least it's not right field. That's where all the losers were put.

Jean Shop- ORLY?

WTF IS UP WITH ALL THIS ****??

Someone start a new line called "Streetwear Clothing Line".

 

[whodini]

And leave it to the French to create a clothing label designed to draw comparisons and suck Google searches away from an aftermarket car product company and a band headed by Maynard.
