Speaking of BkC, penning a piece for their new culture blog on the relationship between streetwear and street culture in light of the recent mass looting. Should be up in the next week or so. Gotta send @dieworkwear packing.

Judging by your nails, I blieve that threat

Dude honestly, next time you're in a Chinatown just go they got some of the best cheap ones and you need all the help you can get, my toes look more elegant than this.

btw: we pretty much carry the same pocketknife (as keychain in my case).

Why is it that I always feel low level negged in here, sorta like David in Schitt's Creek?

@LA Guy my birthday is in December so........ would love the pocket knife

I'd say yes, but my children have already claimed it when I... pass, as has my wife, which is somehow considerably more disturbing.

Incidentally. my birthday is in September. I would love me a pair of Visvim Mid Ute Moc trainers in sand, size 12 if they fit the same as the lo runners. Wow, that came out surprisingly specific.

High bar my dude. Dieworkwear is a beast with the pen.

I know another writer who's working on a story like that. I'll DM you their info. Maybe you guys can share ideas and discuss.

can this become his title? @LA Guy

I think la possibilité d’une île (especially the last third of the novel) and la carte et le territoire are his best works (haven’t read the English translations).

Agreed, those are my two favorite novels of his as well. I haven't read Sérotonine yet, I'm not in a hurry to do so but will probably get around to it eventually.

la possibilité d’une île

For me this one just came across as the barely concealed whine of a man incapable of dealing with (his own) aging.

Kind of a rich tradition in novels, no?

You could describe Philip Roth's Zuckerman saga like this, and I think they're among the best books ever written.

Ouigi is my man

 

[London]

can this become his title? @LA Guy

It should be. I'm waiting for his book. He's one of the best writers on mens style that I've read. He doesn't just write about cool clothes, he provides socio-historical context and helps you understand the meaning in things. It takes thought and rigor. I respect that.

 

[London]

@dieworkwear I saw your piece on Putthison. Maybe we could grab Niyi (Post Imperial), Ouigi (BKC) and some Black retailers, stylists and fashion folks to do a zoom or something.

Shoutout to @Todd Shelton and his team for working with me, and really nailing the fit on my most recent pair of denim.

Highly recommend both the jeans and the process.

To think, it all stemmed from me complaining on this thread about jeans some months ago!

It also feels good to support a small, US business right now.
