Man, I am a half size too big on those. Its a shame because I like the look of them. Does anyone have any opinion of Frye boots?

Anyone know a place that has a large variety of Nike Dunks, particularly these

I'm still looking for a coat . I am 15 so I am bound to outgrow whatever I buy. Would it be possible to get something nicer like a barbour, and have enough fabric on the arms to take sew in and out that it would fit for a while? Also I stopped by gapkids and tried on this jacket: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do...d=1&pid=645509 It fit well other than it being veryyy boxy. Would it be possible to take it to a tailor to get rid of the boxyness. Should I not be considering that jacket?

Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong topic, but I was hoping you guys could help me out with sizing on a pair of APCs. I purchased these NC (size 29) at the APC store in LA today, and I was wondering if I should have sized down to a 28. I'd like them to be pretty skinny, and I like how these fit now. Here are a couple of pictures (sorry for bad quality):

If you like how they fit now, you won't like how they fit in a month.

+1 exactly... when you find the size that you like how they fit, then buy 1 size smaller... those look ok, so you'll need at least 1 down.

Those look pretty tight in the thighs to me already. Sometimes it's hard to tell in pictures though, but the thigh doesn't stretch out too much. You didn't try on the 28s?

Possibly a dumb question, but I've never owned any higher quality moccasins before...I just received my Quoddy brown suede brick sole blucher from South Willard, if these get wet will they be okay? Should I put some kind of protective coating on it or anything?

MortyGras · Aug 30, 2009

You are making it sound like it's something extremely uncommon. It's a pair of suede shoes.

What exactly are you looking for (and what do you not like)? That would help alot.

I know people complain about desert boots being recommended too much.. but a pair of brown beeswax leather desert boots would easily fit in your budget (about $80-90) while fitting the 'doesn't look like something you'd wear at a construction site, but also not too nice/dressy'

As far as durability etc
I have a pair of the BR version (though don't think it exists anymore) that I picked up for ultra cheap ($8) last year and wore pretty much every other day through all of fall and winter and they don't have so much as a single loose thread. Super warm they are not... but as long as you wear some decently warm socks its not an issue...didn't bother me in the Chicago winter.

If they get wet, you'll have to wet the whole shoe and rub them down evenly with a crepe brush. First thing to do is get a suede protector spray. Costs like 5 dollars.

My APCs stretched about 0.75" in the thighs. Maybe more.

does anyone have the "t-shirt" thread link? i want to see what ppl say in there...

wagthesam · Aug 30, 2009

Can someone help me,

does holding your shoulder up in a good posture sort of way decrease your shoulder to shoulder?

robbie · Aug 30, 2009

alright...

i found a chambray, it is nothing amazing. it is a cotton/poly blend , but it fits better than just about any i have had the luck of stumbling across at a thrift store. i like it for the most part except for two things, both the handiwork of some old woman in iowa i'm sure. anyhow its a rad sears chambray thats been embellished with craft paint.

i had thought of covering it with patches but the embellishment are too large.

so my next thought was trying to remove the paint. is there a way to remove paint that has possibly been dried on the fabric for decades or am i going to have to cover it with more paint or patches?
