These also I've been eyeing since winter, and they're also on sale, since honestly who's gonna buy some shearling boat shoes that'll get ruined right quick?

And I only said yes to #1 because of how much I love wacky commemorative scarves and because I'm assuming it's 100% silk.

kkvgz, Thursday, 31 March 2011 16:49 (thirteen years ago) link

1) if you like it and will wear it, why not?
2) no
3) are those prada? I don't get why that line is so popular tbh
4) maybe. I kind of like those!

daria, Thursday, 31 March 2011 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link

1. Well OK, I'll wait to go one one more further discount and get it... If I don't wear it, yeah I can use it as a wall hanger...
2. OK fine, no buy
3. Went to two Prada stores and its still more than sold out... (anyway they're $800.... so maybe thats a good thing)
4. Hoping for it to last to major sale... They're Jil Sander and also really expensive... But I don't have any non-sneaker or non-boatshoes

Thanks!

hey phil-two do you remember like 5+ years ago jil sander did these gorgeous suede driving loafers in a couple of really pretty easter egg colors - like a mint green, lilac, soft pink & light yellow iirc? i always regret not copping a pair cuz they ended up getting marked down like 75% & i nvr see them around ever & they were ridic pretty

sarahel, Friday, 29 April 2011 04:55 (twelve years ago) link

no the front-facing pick must be for the black/green pair that hes also selling - the arms are pink on both sides - although i guess i cld get the green pair theyre the same price atm

Turn Off the Cold (Lamp), Friday, 29 April 2011 04:58 (twelve years ago) link

Depends. If they're exactly the right size for your face, yes. If not, they can easily make you look ridiculous.

StanM, Friday, 29 April 2011 05:39 (twelve years ago) link

i dont hate them, but no

tehresa, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link

lol i didn't mean all caps but i kinda like it that way.

tehresa, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link

Hm. That kind of wedge heel is not for me, but I like the strap arrangement.

Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link

OK these are either completely awful or could look really good on/in person. What do you think?

i like the 2nd ones a lot more than the first.

tehresa, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:55 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah I do too but I can't stop wondering if the fist might be the kind of thing that looks really good on. Probably not though.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:56 (twelve years ago) link

The AK ones: yes. The other ones: No way.

Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:57 (twelve years ago) link

OK I GET IT

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:58 (twelve years ago) link

Unbelievable that they were charging $70 retail for a plastic wedge with elastic in the back. Disappointed, AK.

Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:58 (twelve years ago) link

I got these silver glitter and raffia things from Strawberry for $15 and they're better looking. :( Anne Klein's product management whatever whatever committee should know better.

Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:59 (twelve years ago) link

What I'm saying is that I like the 2nd pair and I want to like them even more but I think $27 is a reasonable price because the quality that would justify anything more just doesn't seem apparent.

No. Gang-style vests not a good look unless you actually have your own, with patches & stuff that you started on when you were 14.

nah i think it's a nice jacket is all! i think y, u should buy it

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 15 September 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link

i mean i really there there is too much said about "classics" and "investment pieces" and "quality construction" wrt #menswear but i think that buy is all those things & totally justifiable

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 15 September 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link

ohhhh the wool jacket

runaway (Matt P), Thursday, 15 September 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

i might buy it but i worry that i will just always be reaching for my goretex stuff first

mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 15 September 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

that navy suit came in -- it's super nice and the jacket fits perfectly in the shoulders. phew. i'll obviously need to take it to a tailor -- I need the pants hemmed and the sleeves lengthened, maybe I'll have the trouser legs tapered a little and the waist suppressed, but all in all it's exactly the sort of starter suit i've been looking for.

elmo argonaut, Monday, 19 September 2011 15:36 (twelve years ago) link

yay!

mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Monday, 19 September 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link

i wish i had occasion to wear more suits. only wear them about twice a year (weddings, prom).

mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Monday, 19 September 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, i don't have much occasion either. my only existing suit was an emergency funeral purchase, which was fine but not quite good enough. i like that this new suit is a true navy blue and not just a flat midnight blue -- just bright enough to stay youthful without being too bold.
