I have decided to give up on sneakers as my everyday shoe.

It is weird doing research and coming across a lot of hype for Clarks boots because Clarks to me has always been the company that makes the shitty clunky round-toed shoes that little kids wore to private school

hey, I wore those to a public school. Way to stereotype.

But you won't get any older now the angels wanna wear your red shoes.

Nice.

Yeah, Uniqlo is fantastic and pretty alright priced. I have a pair of their selvedge skinny jeans for over year now, and they just get better and better. They're incredibly soft now to. I haven't ever bought any of their shirts or sweaters or other things (but that's because I usually buy shirts and such in charity shops), so I don't know how they are for quality.

Tommy I've totally been on an Elvis Costello Youtube binge all day thanks to that. Thanks man.

Andy, I don't get it? Why did you quote me again?

Thanks for the recs, people. I've narrowed it down to the Clarks, The Doc Marten chukkas or the Red Tape chukkas. Brown Suede no doubt. Just waiting to get some money and to see what eBay shakes out at me.

I think you should take a visit to the UK. Glasgow would be a good place.

Man if I had enough money I would be wearing Burberry. Seriously. Minus the hat, I would rock this outfit like woah.

Or maybe the whatever-wearing, going after my third degree normal people? Seriously, what is with all of the Puma hate? Yes, there are tons of terrible Pumas (the ones with the Ferrari logos come to mind immediately), but there are also Pumas that are crazy comfortable and look good.

They are also sneakers. Really.

Yeah man I wore these to public school too. Clarks had the school shoe market pretty much cornered, and proper shoes were compulsory uniform evern at public school.

ps. going to print a dinosaur on a t-shirt. Thinking either a) tricerotops b) ankylosaurus or c) stegosaurus.

Thoughts?

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #1418 on:** 11 Nov 2009, 18:49 »

Stego

All three, looking up at a full moon.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #1420 on:** 11 Nov 2009, 19:23 »

Hah. A friend of mine actually gave me this threadless shirt for my last birthday, but I never wear it. It's a size too big, and it also takes parody-shirt-internet nerdery to a level I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with.

Lines · « **Reply #1421 on:** 11 Nov 2009, 19:58 »

Those are 3 very awesome dinos, but I would pick tricerotops.

tania · « **Reply #1422 on:** 11 Nov 2009, 20:09 »

stegosaurus, because it is the perfect segway to then tell people about how the spiky bit on the end of their tails is honest to god called the thagomizer.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1423 on:** 11 Nov 2009, 21:41 »

stegosaurus,

Would wear a shirt that says "Stegosaurus all up in this shit"

phooey · « **Reply #1426 on:** 12 Nov 2009, 03:40 »

Stegosaurus is not my favorite, but by far the most interesting when it comes to silhouettes on a tshirt. An ankylosaurus will look like a poundcake gone wrong, and a triceratops is just ... hm. I don't know, not a fan.

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #1427 on:** 12 Nov 2009, 04:59 »

Stego is soooo indie rock

Spluff · « **Reply #1428 on:** 12 Nov 2009, 06:06 »

Why am I not surprised that Jimmy is the only person who picked the right dinosaur?

The rest of you, go to your rooms and think about what you've done.

michaelicious · « **Reply #1429 on:** 12 Nov 2009, 06:24 »

You should probably put some sort of sauropod on that shirt instead of all these other sucker dinosaurs.

Okay I'm officially old. I suspected it for a while but now it's finally happened.

Honestly that exact bag was the kind of receptacle some poor kid would be bullied for owning in first school. Sure enough, enough time has passed that it's considered fashionable now.

The cool kids wear those messenger bags now. I have a big rucksack similar to Sam's desired one, it's much better.

Lines · « **Reply #1431 on:** 12 Nov 2009, 13:03 »

I don't like that bag, tbh. It's boring and it's Northface, which means you're paying far too much for a boring bag. (I'm sure it's not bad in quality, but still.)

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #1432 on:** 12 Nov 2009, 13:25 »

I still have a red jansport bag. I've had it for ages.

Ooh are we talking about bags? I wanted to fulfill my childhood obsession over messenger bags when I went away to college, and in my search stumbled upon the last one of these within 50 miles:

MSRP: $65+tax

I paid: $7.00

The thing is basically a gigantic sack, happy to swallow up anything I might need to carry for a while. After about a year and a half of daily use I haven't seen any noticeable wear.

Knock off Burberry tartan hasn't been popular for years. You're far more likely to see actual chavs wearing tracksuits, or if the slightly nicer chavs go out they wear thin, plain Fred Perry sweaters or something similar.

Holy shit dudes, Holland&Holland.

The rest of the images are flash on their website and I suck at the internet, but fuck I could wear the shit out of some of these clothes.

The first, third, fourth, six, and seventh images in their fall collection are all awesome. I would date the hell out of a girl who dressed like the third picture, and the bag in the fourth is awesome. Plus, that vest
