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

I have to assume that's a mistake or something. Who would risk a (reasonably) reputable and long-standing company on such a scam?

I agree it sounds too bold to be true. I haven’t paid too much attention to Dayton since 2015 or so, but I heard recently that they were drastically raising prices while simultaneously outsourcing boot production to a cheaper factory. That sounds like a potentially financially unhealthy company to me. I guess it’s possible that they are desperate?

Wow, blast from the past. The W+H x Dayton boots...

2011: W+H

2021: WFH

Do you see how this is fucked up?

This is totally crazy, if that's what happened. Seems like the kind of thing someone would do with a fake company, not a real one with an actual business.

TOJ fiasco sounded unreal until it was real

It’s one thing to scam a bunch of internet dorks. It’s another to scam the federal government.

That Dayton story is pretty wild. I don't know who would think they could get away with it if what's described is right... one last kick at the can before you torch the building for insurance?

Bought a pair of Service Boots last fall. Like them and glad I didn't wait too long.

Heading to a non-extradition tropical paradise would be my first instinct also

Looks like the new Eddie Murphy film Coming 2 America features Ikiré Jones clothes (company owned and run by a StyleForum member here, Wale)

Does anyone have any experience receiving a package shipped to the USA via BPost Belgium?

Wonder how reliable and if it gets turned over to any of the US carriers once its enters the USA (final mile delivery)?

Also, were you tagged for duties (assuming over the threshold)? Thanks in advance.
