he talks like someone between 30-40 and probably has another (quite active) account

woodyear is nothing like that, he talks like he's just out of college and was trying to apply skills learned as a philosophy major to the interwebz. and he doesn't elicit a 'wwybywb' response at all



Wally is definitely Otter. Not sure who woodyear is.

i think you're right, i looked at the fit pics on barneys and the nc fit (3rd) doesn't look so bad ... guess i will have to walk a few blocks and try those F***ers on then.

Not really an observation, but a suggestion: Took my wife to Jean Shop yesterday for new denim, and she wound up getting the men's Rocker, in size 27. They fit her perfectly and another lady was admiring them -- but when my wife told her they were men's, she made sort of an "ewww" face.

I think a lot of women would go for raw denim if they'd try on the small men's sizes. A slim straight cut like the men's Rocker is pretty hard to find for women -- all the cuts are either painted-on skinny or flare-leg. Another reason my wife didn't get the women's is that the back rise was too low.

Also, the pair she got was made in 07 -- sort of NOS...

Jean Shop doesn't get much love here but I think they're right down the middle -- Japanese denim, Riri zips, nice details like half-lined back pockets, selvedge zipper -- but not $$350-400, either. They do pander to the B&T set with a bunch of super-expensive washes, though.

Strike Gold is doing slim fitting loopwheeled crew-necks for the winter, like BR but slim and softer. These guys have their sights set high.

Not sure if srs...

So the cameraman in 46 fit me but was a little long, obviously. Looked so sick with my Junya blazer underneath with the red gingham color popped poking out. Gingham overload on deck. So excited for Thursday, copping spree will commence.

Yeah man that Jere is outrageous. I forgot to ask when you posted last week but what kind of TB shirts and what EG blazer are you getting? or is that on the backburner now with the NC in line first?

Sleeves aren't the issue it's the body length, but yeah it's a late summer cop for sure.

Yeah, Jere is gonna be sick. Thom Navy and White Broadcloth and RWB white oxford. EG is a Bedford I think? Charcoal grey wool with black leather elbow patches, then maybe some Junya pants too. Jesus.
