Thanks.

I think I found one. In my size too. Does yours have side slash pockets?

The Yahoo Auctions Japan site is all in Japanese. Unless I'm missing an obvious way to switch to English, how are you able to traverse the site and understand and sign up/bid if you don't know Japanese?

I recommend using sparse terms in English in your search. having google translate open in another tab. and digging. sellers will ship overseas. if you email them and pay promptly plus postage.
it's really not difficult. try it out.

 

[Thrift Vader]

Don't know if this has been done as a challenge before, but I'd love try something with matching a fit to a song or lyrics. Figurative mood or literal words.

Down to play this game. and win?

@hendrix dig the pullover. don't mix it. go all in.

Each to their own, still waiting to see a fit from you though. You went really quiet since I challenged you to a shoe off.

I appreciate the sentiment of your comment but my level of activity (or nonactivity) has remained constant. Meaning, what I do hasn't affected anything, either way. What I am noticing is a decline in activity by those who once were active and now aren't (or a decline in new, active users becoming involved).

But yes, I could promote growth (heh) by being more active. I'm more just curious about why there has been fall off and why the forum seems to be neglected, lately.

Post counts took a hit when the forum changed platforms, although I think it's recovered a bit since then. Forums in general have declined with the rise of IG and reddit.

At the same time, the quality of WAYWT is significantly higher than it was back when I first joined the forum in 2010. Part of this is attributable to the decline itself; newcomers to fashuns are posting their J Crew oxford / APC denim / Clarks DB fits to r/malefashionadvice, and hypebeast kids just post for likes on IG. You also have people like @KamoteJoe slaying on a regular basis (plus some boring posters like me have stopped posting their boring-ass fits so often).

There's still a fair amount of staff-generated content, but much of it is on the SF journal rather than on the forum itself.

maybe once you're actually relevant.

maybe once you're actually relevant.

If you post a photo of your shoes, I will congratulate you on them and offer my wishes that you wear them in good health.

@Two Shoes anecdotally, the threads I subscribe to seem quite active these days, to the point where I don't get around to opening them all to read what's new. I don't pay attention to the front page though, which is where I gather many of the junk threads show up before getting squashed. So I think it may depend a bit on what topics you’re interested in. Have to agree that IG etc are diverting some content, but there's a lot of overlap as well.
