I looked at it, are they well constructed? I have a herschel supply co. bag that was like $80? or something, and the straps are really cheaply attached and the whole thing (while functional) feels like a gym bag from middle school.

this isn't bad, but hard to get an idea of size on yoox. there's also some ok bags from briggs and riley, but bleh looking.

I have this KVA duffel. It's pretty neat, it can transform into a garment bag and is pretty roomy. Check the ssense link for more pictures/measurements (http://www.ssense.com/men/product/krisvanassche/garment_duffle_bag/40795). Construction seems decent, nothing special about the leather bottom though (plasticky leather).

FYI it was at 50% off ($80 or $90) when I bought it off of Yoox a few months ago, it's likely to hit discounts again later in the summer.

IIRC that bag is from the first kvaxeastpak. Bought one like a year ago and use it as my carry on when I travel, but also on occasion. Its a good looking bag with nice details that holds up... I mean there isnt much to it. Apart from a few scratches on the leather It still looks like new.

So I live a couple blocks away from this rad vintage/used shop and walk by it almost every day. I've sold some stuff there and talked to a couple employees about EG and more sufu stuff but I haven't gone in for a couple months. I finish my exams and, walking home, decide to stop in. Place is pretty dead but as I'm browsing the racks one of the employees runs up to me and gives me this sweater she wants me to try on and drags me around the store giving me stuff while the other employees egg me on. Turns out they always see me walk past and have more or less been playing dress up with me. Kopped a pretty awesome allsaints women's sweater though, basically fits like Silent stuff. Definitely weirdest/most strangely gratifying retail experience so far.

I'm trying to think of the like less than handfull of places in Boulder that fit this bill. Way to go man, hijack that ****** hipster boulderbro thing.

Meanwhile, on this Kruger/Supreme tip. I just want someone/ people to like pepper the supreme nyc storefront with wads of 'tottally uncool jokers' stickers. Big ones. Is that too much to ask? I mean really. I know I'm idealistic but it's all i'm asking for.

The bag on yoox very clearly does not transform into anything.

I'm looking for some everyday pants/jeans in overdyed black/charcoal, decent thigh room (for all them squats) and taper for side zips. Where should I be looking? Rick detroit and zam b look promising, but I'm a 29x30 so I'm afraid hemming them would be a waste. Uniqlo seems like the cheap way out, but the super low rise sounds uncomfortable.

Check out Mild Blend in Wicker Park.
