I did this with AA cords, I don't necessarily regret it but I probably could've done better. However, I get a lot of mileage out of them.

To design a different bag in order to fulfill that demand without pissing off everyone who bought the original. Also, to not cut out the retailers that made the bag a success.

I don't think either of us are going to start railing on Tim Hamilton as a dumb ass though, because at the end of the day it's a very minor issue with a very good product.
Sounds more like the jeans aren't a good fit for you, not that there's anything wrong with the cut. Fat people would have problems wearing DH 19cms, doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the cut A lot of deviation can be attributed to the manufacturing as well

Agreed.

I work in a discount clothing store that occasionally sells SF-approved brands. And every so often someone walks in wearing an outfit that could easily belong in the waywt thread.

And most of these people are really good at looking mundane despite rocking garments designed to be anything but.

I know it's said all the time that an outfit is much more than the clothes themselves, but it's really started to sink in for me. And I'm both fascinated and disappointed.

that makes them more cool

they're less cool in Asia though because road rules don't mean **** here and cars win every time

the november issue of monocle recommended cnyttan socks and when i learned that they were handlinked socks made in korea, i tracked some down in apgujeongdong.

the socks are pretty high quality. they're made of something called silket (dunno what that is) and double six nylon (dunno what that means either), but they feel great and i highly doubt that you can easily find handlinked socks for under $10.

-_- but the socks slip down really easily and make them really uncomfortable to wear. i feel like i wasted $30. definitely don't recommend.


anyways, what fuuma said earlier about mass' wardrobe is something i want to replicate. have like the perfect 20 pieces as your entire wardrobe. i think he went through a lot of trial and error as he sells a shitload of clothes in supermarket and i feel like you also need some sort of vision of the kind of style you want to pursue.

Handlinked toes on socks are more of a marketing gimmick.

i dunno. i like socks that don't have that ball of yarn next to your big toe. not a big deal, but preferable

This is something I can't stress enough, enough if you have various styles you need to know what you're trying to do.

Pretty much. It's like a bunch of junkies - "I'm better because I only snort, he shoots up" "No I'm better, Heroin is O.K, Alchohol is dirty" etc etc

Just a few blogs really push it and get on my nerves. It's just fashion at the end of the day.

I think you have the steeze to pull it off

I have no idea what that is.

I hate looking at abstract womens clothing like that because I love it and know I will never be able to convince and finance a girl to dress as such for me but if you find some gauzefaced girl in the chicagoland area who can fulfill this dream for you and she has a sister pm me, preferably if the hearts are positioned over her eyes so she can't see how utterly **** i'd look in the presence of a girl in full cdg.
