Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

Ok I don't follow and don't care about limited editions, resale value etc but I was looking for some Sacai stuff and figured I like these NikeXSacaiXUndercover, is it normal that price is relatively low (200-250usd) or are they all fake? Where would you buy these if Nike doesn't seem to carry them anymore because of their limited edition bullshit? I'm a little bit more sportweary/streetwear than before and I need trainers with slightly more heft or futuristic/designery elements.

That price seems about right. A lot of those were made in different colorways, and the resale value was never super high. For the secondary, I typically like www.goat.com, and www.stockX.com is a distant second, at least for me personally.

Designer collaborations depending on the colorway and maker can and often do sit. If places like Farfetch still have them around that price you're good to go. If you're still feeling cagey about it I'd check with Dover Street Market. That they're that low means they either sat for a really long time or are probably still available somewhere.

That Iris (I think that’s what they called it) purple colorway never went as high as some others.

@LA Guy the classifieds seem harder to navigate since the update? It used to be big thumbnails/grid style, but now it's just a list with small thumbnails? Or am I doing something wrong.

No, you are right. The devs of the present system have not been responsive, so we may move up the change to a new system, that is much more like typical forum BST sections, but with pictures, and helpful fields and the ability to tag.

The new system will be set to have classifieds closed at 30 days, so people cannot just use the same listing over and over, and 10 tags, so that it might make sense for someone to sell a few shirts in the same thread, but not an omnibus of items in many sizes, in many catogories.

We want a system that is more open ended and organic, in a way that is easier to use for both buyers and sellers.

We already developed software that will change over all existing listings, and the old system will remain open, but not to new listings, as we allow the community time to "sandbox" the new system live, give us feedback, allow us to improve for a month, etc... as we start to sunset the present system.

@admin - anything to add?

Is anyone making a "modernized" version of a classic Ivy style, brass buttoned blazer?

What do you mean by modernized? 5 years ago that would have meant slim and shorter with thinner lapels. Right now it might mean longer and larger lapels with a fuller fit.

Maybe engineered garments Bedford in a navy wool serge fabric may work. Also look at 1st-Patrn for a similar aesthetic.

I used to visit J Press in Cambridge MA, whuch was right around the corner from the main gym. Always liked the old school feel, and nearly even bought my wedding tux there. @Drinkwaters - is it still there?

It closed for good I believe. Was actually in the square last fall for the first time in years and it’s wild how many institutions like that are gone. Darwin’s just closed too, which i’d assume you also went to when you were there.

This is nice. Do you know if this is a style that they'll continue to do in different fabrics? Do you plan to have any others stocked in the future?
