Have you checked out Adidas Stan Smiths?

Just did, the ones without the kiddy straps aren't bad, but the perforation pattern kills it for me. Not a big fan of Adidas anyway. They have some cool enough styles, but I have a terrible allergy to recognizable logos.

Wool jacket, too expensive now so I would wait until it drops. Both pics are of the same jacket -- The bottom set of zippers gives it a more fitted shape when zipped up.

? Thinking the top as the orangey suede will look better worn with indigo denim. The colour of the top one is more vivid in person. Both Loakes, so the quality is pretty sweet :)
Also yes or no:

Part of me thinks this is sick, but theres a nagging half that says its a bit too much. Worn with simple skinny jeans/ desert boots I reckon it'd be fine.


shoes, the darker ones, i guess they are blue,

the shirt, i'd say no because it looks like a curtain or a bed cover

Leaning the opposite way haha. Thinking I'll get the Loake Gobis tomorrow (the brown ones) and I'll make a trip to Libertys to examine the shirt in person, looks cool.
EDIT: Having seen you endorse these atrocities on page 1294 I'm enclined to stick with my opinion :p


your just as bad based on that shirt

Rokin ($425) vs Marsell ($700) vs MA+ ($1,800)

I've never handled any of these irl and was wondering about quality and construction relative to guidi or W+H.

ive only handled them, never worn them but the MA's are awesome. even from pics you can tell they are great.

i liked the shape of all of them tbh and you can prob get some marsells for a bit cheaper on sale.

i think all of them are above w+h quality..

edit: another brand to look out for in that price range is premiata

check here for some marsells on sale : http://www.shopsydneys.com/shop/category/categories/footwear/

ok scratch the ma+ for the 1800, not worth it, i personally dont like any, but i think i heard marsell is good quality

did you check shoto, f&b, varvatos(mainline), how much do you want to drop...
