Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

I think that varsity looks pretty cool.

Someone as physically good looking as @sebastian mcfox wearing a varsity jacket might legit give me flashbacks of getting beat up in high school

Shut up, nerd.

This is literally the reinvention of history of every jock who beat me up.

@armellod.e, I wear a 41.5 in the Michael, took a 41 in the Pacific. The Pacific is very forgiving as far as volume is concerned, what with the adjustable strap and little bit of elastic where the buckle is attached.
Not a big fan of the black personally, but not sure what the other offerings are this season. The pair I have is in a textured white leather, wore em all last summer and planning on doing the same again this summer.

Anyone can please suggest me

How better Kiton compare to their kid brand Satorio Napoli?

Fabric, style, fit...?

I have a deal about the same price Kiton (for trillion) in 100% wool vs Satorio Napoli 50%cashmere - 50%Linen

I like the fit on Satorio but I like the color Kiton more,but the Kiton can be tailor to fit just like Satorio I think....

This is awesome, especially for you. 100% kop it.

I'm not sure if there's a jewellery thread but my current contemplation is some Goros feathers. Reading on the brand makes it more and more interesting to me but not sure how I feel about spending 3k+ CAD for a two feather setup.

Personally think authentic Native American jewelry is better than the hyped-up Japanese versions, which are just cover bands of the real thing. Self Edge sells the real deal made by actual Native American artists.

Normally agree with Derek but strongly disagree in this case. You should buy the piece of jewelry that most speaks to you, authenticity be damned.

I wouldn't buy anything that has taken the designs of an indigenous group without their permission. It's not just a matter of personal feelings; it's more important than that.

Yeah but is it more important than hype?

@Sebastian-mcfox

I loved pirates. I tried it on my phone or iPad within the last decade and while still fun didn’t do it for me the same way.

the nostalgia of youth.

I wouldn’t buy anything that was an insult to any group, indigenous or otherwise. If it’s a tribute, whether design, music, food, whatever, it’s fair game for me.
Full disclosure: I wear a Goros feather everyday so I pretty much have to double down on my possibly questionable stance here...

 

[aamukherjee]

I would add that the ethos (at least originally) of Goro's was more than just a surface level up-sell of Native American culture - he clearly engaged with the craft and traditions on a genuine level.
