Yeah I guess it was meant to be

I was wary about the fit but I'm pleased to find that their fitting guide is pretty accurate on the website

I also funded these https://www.weargustin.com/store/1618 because I want a pair of jeans that are NONEXMOREXBLACK

Should be getting them right for the start of summer, right when they'll be useless to wear lol

Lol I saw this pic on tumblr and was like "I want this" xp

guys wtf is up with ripped knees these days

like 3 months ago it just STARTED and now it's everywhere. i saw a television magician appear on a talkshow and he was wearing leather trousers with pre-ripped knees.

asos and topman spread these trends p quickly - via kanye west i think, in this case.

i mean obv ripped jeans have been around longer than kanye etc, but as far as this trend goes

ripped jeans were a.. what, metal thing in the early 80s i guess? and immediately prompted spates of pre-ripped jeans (usually also acid-washed).. weird to see it coming back. though this time the rips are specific to the knee and just the knee. the rest of the jeans are impeccable.

ah.. from nov 2013. they call it "grunge":

The current iteration of the ripped jeans trend makes me feel very old and cranky.

ripped jeans seem kinda lame but pants with elastic cuffs otoh I am all about

yeah i have gone full on board w/ leisure/athletic/jogging pants, i have multiple pairs and cant stop myself

u cant jog away... from yrself

Yeah I like the jogger hybrids too

are u guys health goths or what

yes

I am more tech goth than health goth tho

healthy tech goth

i thought health goth and HBA and wang X H&M was like totally ~out~

thought we were back to wearing jewel tones and eating white castle

new trend I am noticing is white men w/ those wide brimmed felt swooshy hats

there is a fork in the road, one way is "health goth", the other "normcore", each man must choose

i choose not to

I want my look to say 'independently wealthy hobo'

its a slipper!

^^yes! It's only a slipper! And I need slippers for wearing around the house!

smdh at you people and your young, healthy feet...

io and I will be over here in plantar fasciitis corner doing stretches and perusing the Footsmart catalog.

Yo, me too.

arch support is the key to life tbf tbh

And I need slippers for wearing around the house!

I'm 100% positive I would have broken a toe on a piece of furniture by now if I didn't wear Crocs around the house, given the number of times I've bounced the front of these things off of doors and bookshelves with total impunity. Also yeah my fasciitis is not playing.

I was almost late for my street harassment mtg bc I was at home looking at the Clark's Summer 2015 styles. Which, I'll have you know, are f'ing aaaaawesome.

oh, i've been meaning to pop in and say this here. i've been rolling with some Gustin skinny cut jeans for a coupla months now. they're fucking dope. perfect fit (for me, anyway), solid construction, quality denim. very good deal. will order again.

I think APC is on the decline. I've got two pairs of New Standards that I've been rotating through the years. They're a solid cut, but they're pretty cheaply constructed. From what I've read, they've outsourced their production and it shows. Flimsy. I spent a couple extra bucks on a pair of 3sixteens (which are apparently based on the APC dimensions) and they're phenomenal.

have found their quality p good, but i haven't got their jeans. i have a coat and a few shirts - a sweater also.

acne studios was my one really bad experience with quality - don't buy their denim shirts.

Kind of feeling lost these days looking for a new direction
