TOJ A1 blouson
or
MMM beautiful boots
or
blue cotton summer blazer (mmm, cdg, dries? dunno)
or
all 3?

I'm terrified that the time for a new pair of jeans is fast approaching, which means I'll have to choose between petit standards and somet 008's. I think that, thankfully, I might not care about the superior quality of the Somets, or whatever, and that I'll probably be very happy with another pair of APCs.

ps on ebay for 138 - 10% with code so not bad. your other three choices are like asking a dog, a drill, or a pineapple.

Could go inbetween with 3sixteen... they remind me of apc's and are pretty hassle-free jeans overall. blue blazer would be good, IMO. kind of random selection choices though.

I saw a pic of an older APC blazer that looked really cool, you might want to try to pick that up.

Oh, totally. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. The other choices are Damir pants, Rick pants, Damir boots, white tanks and cropped uniqlo trousers. I'm all at sea.

kind of at the same point... could see myself going *** casual streetwear (ie the kolor jacket above), modified flannel pac nw grunge, or some weird mix of the two. comfort, softer shapes. slightly moving away from the kva/helmut mix i've been doing for the last few years. maybe it's cuz i'm old and have a kid now haha.

I really like Kolor, but I also always enjoy your sharp silhouettes. You could move more heavily into the KVA /DH stuff I suppose, and take advantage of a looser silhouette without losing all of the sharpness - but that requires an actual desire for m. van assche, rather than a passing fancy.

For my part, I just rotate through wanting geller, damir, rick, or margiela pretty much bi-monthly, which makes life so difficult.

You see, if you would simply send me your ann d items for free, instead of obscenely requesting payment like some sort of plebeian troglodyte, I wouldn't have this problem. You should have stayed in mile-high country; that Rocky Mountain air would have kept your synapses free from ridiculous ideas like these.
