I still have some made in France APC pieces and they've held up relatively well. On the other hand I got into their jeans a little bit later (05/after joining here) and they're made in Tunisia and have also held up quite well so I can't complain.

The faux shell is also wayyyyyyy nicer than the Ray-Bans, and the gold inlay in the frame (not visible) is a nice touch as well. I can't say enough how nice these are in person. The photos do no justice, but I only have a camera phone. http://i42.tinypic.com/2r2rsk2.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/256cz2p.jpg
Which color are those? They look good as sunglasses. I'm currently getting prescription lenses put in my new Rileys. They're a really nice shape imo. I tried on everything from Dita to Lunor to Paul Smith and ended up going with the Rileys because of how well they fit my face.

I think daiki gets lots of ideas from some of those old mcgregor shirts. They made those MG boating shirts back in the day too.

Yeah, this shirt reminded me of the mg shirt patterns from last spring. I used to see shirts like those on ebay, but not lately. Here are a couple other "Nepenthes-y" items: McGregor - Needles did something like this, last f/w maybe.

Arrow - Thought this was reminiscent of this season's EG. (Also has the infamous third button collar button and locker loop.)

Not quite. Meant from RAW format... it's kind of a pain on my current computer setup.
