Hi all.

I've been wearing chucks pretty much exclusively for close to a year now, and I think it's about time (severe understatement

) I mixed it up abit.
Problem is, I've grown to like the slim profile of chucks, and the way they look with slim jeans, so I don't think I can wear anything significantly larger/wider.
Could anyone suggest anything suitable?

I've been wearing my Nudie SJs for about 2 weeks now, and one thing I've noticed when I wash my face at night, is that the paper towels are fairly blue.
I guess I rest my hands on my legs and I touch my face alot, but I wouldn't say excessively or anything.
Anyone else notice this? Is it normal?

It's autumn (fall?) in Australia now, and winter will be here soon.
I'm looking to stock up on hoodies, is there any brands I should look for in particular?
I tried on a fairly decent Lonsdale black (w/white details) hoodie yesterday, it was $AU100. I resisted purchasing it though, because of the connotations associated with the brand. At least here in Australia.

Old-school adidas shoes and most Pumas will give you the sleekness you desire.

I bought some G-Star hoodies recently which I think are excellent, really sturdy and insulating, but they were more than $100.

How about plain ol' Bonds hoodies? They've got some good colours, nice cut (slim, arms longer than body), warm... in fact, I'm going to look for my size tomorrow...

.


Other possibilities are carhaart, even industrie if you can find something really simple from them. Try skate shops as well.

Last time I checked, they were sold in a discount place called TSL - there's one on Smith St in Fitzroy, one on Whitehorse Rd in Box Hill, and one on Chapel.
