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

Yes, insofar as it’s one of the oldest and most reliable “grey market” watch sites out there. I think that it also has some deals with brands now too, though I can’t be sure of that. What are you looking at?

They had some nos from Burberry's 'Ode to the sea' capsule.

It's likely that something so old and niche that typically depreciates super fast is more legit than not.

Can you still get scoop neck tees anywhere? I like the aesthetic of a tank layered under a button up shirt, but I would prefer a tee since they help prevent visible pit stains in the summer. A tee with a scoop neck would basically fulfill that role but they are nowhere to be found these days.

Watch: Mark Zuckerberg personally fuels the rumours of his Supreme takeover

In a new video testing out a Meta AI update, Zuckerberg coincidentally imagines himself as a streetwear designer from LA

From what I've read. Essilor-Luxxotica is looking for a brand because it's more or less maxed out on the available licensees, and the sames of Rayban and Oakley, both wholly owned, are better sellers anyway. I guess that now I know where Facebook comes in. We discussed this in the fashion industry discussions thread, and why and how Salesforce is involved in the real mystery.

Honestly, I'm a bit intrigued by how Supreme smartglasses would turn out. A bit apprehensive, but still intrigued.

Nobody really cares about Supreme anymore. Zuck is too late to the party.

I think that you are right in general, but I could see it becoming a mainstay in the eyewear category, sorta like an upscale Rayban, with streetwear and performance roots. It could be really less relevant in its original categories but stay iconic in eyewear only.

Don't know if their quality and pricing is still great. But about 11+ years ago I bought 6-8 Leather Goods Connection belts in various styles based on the reccomendation of this forum and that's been my bels, done. They have all aged beautifully and have held up, some are just starting to hit their strides.

Is there a reliable proxy for ordering from Paraboot in the US? I’m interested in this sneaker that seems to be a new release.

There is a Paraboot thread here so you may want to try posting this question over there.

I know somebody from the store Drinkwater's in Cambridge, MA used to post in that thread on occasion and he always seemed helpful and accommodating. You might try reaching out to the store and checking if they can order them?

@Michigan Planner thanks! I tried both already hehe

Any suggestions for wearing my old, but still in fine shape CP suede Chelsea’s without seeming out of touch? I still successfully deploy clothing from that era fairly often, but for some reason, these cause me doubt… unlike say MMM GATS, which I wear maybe a few times a month and don’t seem to evoke the same feeling for whatever reason 🤷‍♂️@Fuuma ?
