yeah the AA was cheap and the quality was less than stellar...the zip almost broke when I tried it in store and there threads handing off.

An alternative to these? The obvious choice is Vans, I guess...

Maybe there are people who favor neutrals and those who don't. I'm all about tans, khakis, browns, and olives, but I'll admit I don't see a lot of that out there I guess. I've actually been working on picturing myself in colors other than earth tones to expand my tastes.

I think you need to be careful with that stuff and how it goes with your skin tone.

And yeah, I'd say Vans would do the trick.

I really want some Gucci shaman mocs, but I can't figure out where to find any. I'd even cop some fakes, but I can't find those either.

I gotta disagree on this one; the quality isn't on par with a lot of brands you see on here, but I have stuff that's held up really well over an almost two year period, and I'm pretty hard on my clothes...

Is there a decent web site that shows a sort of glossary of fashion material/cut/design terms? Wikipedia isn't bad, but I was hoping for a more centralized resource.

I just recently bought some new Sperry Topsiders and the dye from the shoes seems to be bleeding on to my feet or my socks (cold weather)...does anyone else have this problem? Any way to stop this? Or does it just stop on its own (how long?).

Thanks

I've been wondering this too.

There is one shirt over at Barneys.com though. Oaknyc.com has a few shirts too. So does villianssf.com

and here is the s/s 09 stocklist:

A friend is trying to find out what jeans have this pocket stitching.

Does anyone here have experience with Jump the Gun clothing? I looked at their size chart:

and it shows the sleeve length only goes up to 24.5". Based on the pic am I reading it right and they're measuring the outseam from the shoulder to the end of the cuff? I measured the arm length on the outseam of my shirts that fit fairly well and they are all around 26". Even the UK brand Ben Sherman had a 26" outseam. Before people ask I did try contacting the company by e-mail. Haven't heard a response yet and I'm not going to call them because I live in the US and the store is in the UK (unsure of how much it will cost) and I'm not going to snail mail them. Thanks for any help.
