I have a pair of Y's Docs in my shoe closet I've never worn, as well. Riri backzip and crepe sole.

hmm . . . A Continuous Lean releases a black oxford and throws Americana under the bus:

"That, according to [Michael] Williams, is intentional. "Some of this Americana stuff has been exhausted, and it's not fun anymore," says the Cleveland native. "More than anything, this is sort of hitting the reset button. I don't want to wear buffalo plaid anymore.""

zissou, don't know if you are out there right now, but I saw South Pacific last night and you would have gone crazy over it. It was all 1940's naval gear.

I have a black oxford shirt that I've never worn. Thought I could make it work, but nope. Maybe someday. And dudes in NYC should never have been wearing buffalo plaids to begin with.

Michael Williams says some ridiculous ****

... I think black oxford is pretty gangster.

The idea behind the black is a nod to Johnny Cash, and the white is kind of a nod to Paul Newman, who’s a Clevelander.

mindbending choice of white oxford.

I've done it, it works. For items which are not real demanding on fit like *coats* I am comfortable buying from UO. I won't buy UO at retail no matter what the item due to the conservative leaning of the owner.

A black, blue or green/blue plaid peacoat for like $30 each is tempting. Same with a green quilted bedford looking thing. I know i shouldn't and just save but i'm impulsive (well, not too much so or i would've just bought).



Also, if anyone is interested i can do pickups from this ****** boutique that doesn't label things properly or know how to use the internet in boston. Solid prices on some things (though the things i'm listing are pretty much the only decent things)

- CDG Shirt colorful windbreakers from ss09
- Acne baggy sweatshirt in white
- Acne coated navy toggle ss09 raincoat
- Acne tees
- Unholy Matrimoy dual flannel (the one with the grey and red flannels and the zippers
- Yohji Y's white m65 (fits and looks amazing)
- RRL tees
- I think another thing or two

oh, also some CPs 50% off (nylon hitop boot, officer leather boot/chukka, a few others)


what boutique is this? I'm from the boston area.... is it the tannery in cambridge by any chance?

Holy ****, 'A Continuous Lean'? The "we're the ones who think we started the Vintage Americana trend" said that? I detest hypocrites. Never liked that trite blog much to begin with, but that's a perfect example of the fickle Brooklyn trendster wannabes they really are.

Man, I only used ebay to sell motorcycle **** or to dump stuff when I needed money for drugs. **** them. If you can't buy or sell it here or on SuFu, keep it. Just don't play with those craft and bead people with mom-jeans. yikes.
