ASOS suede brogues. They're made in-house by ASOS (though I hear ASOS has hookups with solid bench-mae UK manufacturers), so I have some doubts about the materials/durability, but they look really good and they're only $55. Too good to be true?

WOW! I want a pair too.

Love the color on the porter raz get it, style is good too.

If I didn't have reverse leather margiela already I'd cop.

^ Yeah I'm really liking them. I'm not a fan of alot of the mainline MMM these days, but the accessories / shoes / bags are one of the strongest points in the company, for sure. I really wanted a MMM laptop bag but they are hard to find.

I gotta check Australian flight regulations to see what I can get, but the one on the right with a duffle sized one, I'd be able to live out of that for ages.

Don't hate, I kinda need stuff that will do well at university + as carry on for flights.

Checking in luggage is for fools.

Hmm. It's just a bag and nothing special. So yeah, why not.

what if i told you it had a Timex watch built into the inner sleeve?

I'd say great, I'll give ya 20 bucks for the whole thing. Seriously, what's with the bag? It's nothing.

Robert what are you doing here on a fashion forum?

Honest question.

there is nothing "fashion" about that bag

Porter bags have amazing quality, if you like the fabric, I'd say go for it

I've been using a bag using the "tanker" fabric (the signature black/orange one) for my everyday work/school bag for the past five years, and it's held up beautifully on everything except for the velcro.

Look coming from you, I don't really mind if you say that.

But coming from Robert, the guy ums and ahs over a Timex repro.

I put it up to see if anyone else besides PG dropped on them. As awesome as fashion bags are, you kinda need something useful when your flying to see your girlfriend every month. Checking in luggage is lame and a waste of time.

Edit: Thanks nicely nice.

yo how much is it? should i kop?

raz i haven't looked at post fw 09 margiela bc it's not the same design team so no interest in the line

 

[Razele]

It was SS09 dude. It sold out almost straight away. It was a light grey suede, kinda like the basic porter one. Really nice. They did one this season that was alot bigger.

I think it was 800?

nah i have a bag already talkin bout the porter

 

[Razele]

Ah right

It's the Porter x Monocle stuff.

It's like 250 quid for the one on the right. 170 I think for the messenger.

I didn't look carefully enough to notice they were different haha. Get the one on the right son.
