Same here in Finland, most guys my age who wore 60-70s styled clothing back then were very much into prog rock, etc...

weidly I don’t remember a specific prog crowd. Metal kids listened to some prog. Hardcore kids listened to a different set of Prog. Some of the goth kids listened to a different set of prog.

this is all relative to 90s East Coast USA

Dang, I saw the most wonderful navy lambs wool turtleneck and cable knit sweaters in my Instagram feed, and now I can’t find them. I thought it was from Clutch Cafe, but no dice. The knits that got away...

USPS came! That is 45 minutes after receiving email stating they already picked up the package. At least I know pick-up service works, what a relief. You know that feeling sitting at home all day waiting for a package to arrive.

How does sizing generally run for Paraboot Michaels? If I’m a US10, get a 43?
I've seen a lot of info that says to size down on Michael's. I'm a US11/44 (11.5 in Nikes, 10.5 in most dress shoes) and I went a full size down to 43. I could probably go up to 43.5, but I'd need to wear thick socks and I didn't even see half sizes at the time.

I would say go a full size down from your true brannock size or a half size down if you plan to wear thick socks.

They run large so I'd say go a full size down from your true brannock size or a half size down if you plan to wear thicker socks.
