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

I've been wearing a lot of 1" belts, but I recently picked up a 1.25" bridle belt from McRostie that has been my go-to.

What width belt do you guys prefer? Narrower belts seem to be having a bit of a moment and I recently got a 1" belt and was surprised by how much narrower it looks compared to 1.25". Looks a bit strange, but maybe I'm just not used to it?

3 1" and 2 1.5". I tend to wear the 1.5" with western styles.

Not surprising actually. LVMH has been scoping out premium denim companies for a while.

Never be surprised when someone opts for money.

IIRC, Kapital did a boro trucker jacket for LV in 2013, and then used the scraps to release their own boro jacket just a bit later, so... https://www.instagram.com/originalshift/p/C3qUkhHN5wa/?img_index=1

I think Foucault said something about unities.

Anyway, everything is being flat and the same.

I am certainly not surprised by Kapital doing this. They have been extremely innovative in their aesthetics, but no-one ever claimed they were particularly ethical.

Makes sense to me. Going by the (all tourist) customers here in the Kapital stores there is 100% crossover with other brands in LVMH portfolio. It’s definitely not Japanese weirdo clothes for fashion nerds any more. I know we all romanticized about it here while looking at that SS2011 FARMY lookbook but that was a long time ago, even if we're still posting about APCs.

It's still cool stuff though, and their store visual merchandising is second to none.

Side note, I love the pillows that convert into hanten.

Any good sources for baseball caps (dad cap style) that aren’t vintage inspired, heavily branded or sports affiliated? Guessing these are hunt and peck but throwing it out there

I went through an exhaustive search and found it difficult. Settled on Fujito for the non-branded/affiliated stuff

Everyone's got a price.
