I think the chukkas are pretty boring and seeming incongruent with what you are going for next in your style. I think the dying could be pretty cool, especially if it ends up splotchy and you get some awesome texture/colouring. Just do it!

That's bc mids are garbage.

NN has mentioned the stitches a few times, I don't cut them bc they're dope and doing so is dumb.

I wonder when we're going to stop hearing about aeglus krane jacket.

"Collar flip Did you know that this is a real thing? All over sartorial Japan (at least in the Classic Italian sub-genre) guys flip their shirt collar to appear more nonchalant. Even the shops display the shirts with the collars flipped."

Considering they don't just make t-shirts, it depends on the type of garment you're talking about. In general, their collection is pretty well-made but I think it's their outerwear where they really shine.

Word. I lost the bid on this big down coat with fur hood I was going to use as my cold weather arctic gear. That one hurts more than most since I know it'll affect me more than just in steeze.

"Suspect?" What the hell are you talking about? Once Theory bought them they were able to move just about everything in-house. Keep in mind, prior to '07 their main focus was denim. Since then, they've done collabs with Grenson, Loro Piana, Martin Greenfield, etc.
