Sup fashion thread

Got my first pair of raw denim trousers yesterday, some Edwin Win RV's which I picked up for hella discount

Any general Raw Denim tips would be helpful, I'm a total amateur here, let's get a metaphorical stew goin'

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #2503 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 09:25 »

don't put them in the microwave

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2504 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 09:28 »

well yeah i'm not a total mope

OK so specific question: What's the safest/most effective way to shrink them? Hot water/Cold water? Wash them with detergent or just soak? Take a dang ole bath or shower in them?

sean · « **Reply #2505 on:** 31 Dec 2009, 09:33 »

I'm re-reading Our Band Could Be Your Life right now and I'm just reminded of the bit where Bob Mould said that the name Hüsker Dü was at at least original, and they weren't called "Youth Terror Force Distortion" or something like that

That's pretty sweet. How good was the deal?

I recently bought my boyfriend a sweater that originally sold for $130. I paid $35! Woo deals!

Drill King · « **Reply #2515 on:** 03 Jan 2010, 08:57 »

700 dollars, marked down to about 300, through tag team flirting went down to 250, boyfriend paid 150(christmas gift)

So, uh, I got it for about 100 dollars in total I guess.

PS it might be a little while for pix because I am now on crutches godd this is a good coat :c

Taylor, it's basically when you team up with another person to be persuasive with you.

Hey guys, this is a really neat little blog, some of this is interesting day to day fashion but the concept is neat.

Hm, sort of reminds me of this.

I have enough trouble dressing myself without such extreme restrictions, but I quite admire these peoples' respective chutzpahs.

that site too has given me inspiration for tomorrow's outfit. if i had a decent camera i might take more pictures of some of my creative daily-wear outfits.

Girls should get clothes for Christmas:

They should put some on even while wearing pyjamas:

In fact, they should put them all on:

And don't you dare disagree!

Fashion thread I just ordered this dress: http://tinyurl.com/yc5svb2

I tried it on in Target and man it looked good on me then, or so I thought, but I did not buy it because I was kind of broke at the time but now I have money so I ordered it and now I cannot wait to get it so I can look sooooo good.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2526 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 14:09 »

Okay. I caved.

I bought a pair of black desert boots. They look better on feet/with pants than they do on their own. Pictures to come.

Allybee · « **Reply #2528 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 20:38 »

in the market for a new backpack. backpackwise, I feel like many people go for functionality over style... my last one was pretty goddamn ugly. but I figure it I have to get a new one (and I do have to), why not get something awesome?

so... anyone have advice? I like these but I wish the backpacks came in different colors. SAM K I'M LOOKIN AT CHOO

sean · « **Reply #2529 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 20:43 »

just go to a thrift store and cop a shitty old backpack like a jansport or something.

sean · « **Reply #2530 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 20:44 »

old shit beaten backpacks rule okay?

squawk · « **Reply #2531 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 21:08 »

ally get a backpack made by a skate company those are usually pretty yet functional and sometimes they have straps for your skateboard!!!

so maybe you should get a skate backpack and then start skating.

sean · « **Reply #2532 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 21:20 »

the above suggestion rules so much

sean · « **Reply #2533 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 21:31 »

(what is really being said by me is that i need to go to a thrift store and cop a smaller bag)

Allybee · « **Reply #2534 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 21:47 »

I like that one sam it is on my list! I don't understand what the leather diamond is for, though?

basically, I have to carry my laptop (13") and sometimes books, as well as makeup and pencils and things. everywhere. so this bag needs to be strong - I'm not really interested in buying something second hand.

squawk · « **Reply #2535 on:** 06 Jan 2010, 22:04 »

a lot of these are pretty simple in design and have laptop sleeves. unfortunately they have sort of offensive colors and patterns? but there are a couple that are decent.

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #2536 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 01:26 »

I'm pretty happy with this one. The laptop is extra protected and it has lots of space, but it tends to get ugly if you kick it around.

elizaknowswhatshesfor · « **Reply #2537 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 05:39 »

When I have to carry a laptop around I have a tote bag, nope I'm not crazy, I've stiched all the protective bit's from a laptop (Or steal me, as they are known round my way) bag & added a zip, That way I have a nice bag on the outside, with functional on the inside.

Skate backpacks are the best as they often come in more interesting patterns & colours & are super hardwearing, I've had the same one for nearly ten years now. I used to use it for carrying a camera, sketch book etc. as well as work clothes & a change of non work clothes & it's had some pretty hairy abuse. It's a carhart one, but it's pretty huge.

My uncle works for Dakine / designs Dakine backpacks, so I've been using Dakine packs off and on for the last fifteen years or so. I second the recommendation, for their durability, functionality, comfort, and simplicity.

Ally, you are a Wesleyan hipster. You could rock a Chrome bag and pretend to be into the bike scene.

All humor aside, they are great bags.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2540 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 13:25 »

The downside to those is that people are assholes who will poke the seatbelt fastener. I think that'd be a serious concern with a laptop in it.

Allybee · « **Reply #2541 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 14:18 »

nooo messenger bags. the stuff I carry is heavy and I really need a backpack. if anyone has more recs for skate companies that make backpacks, it'd be much appreciated

JD · « **Reply #2542 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 20:09 »

Swiss gear backpacks sound like what you are looking for.

Ballard · « **Reply #2543 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 20:57 »

Chrome makes backpacks and laptop bags too!

ViolentDove · « **Reply #2544 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 21:15 »

Man when I read the reference to seatbelt fastener i thought you were talking about freitag bags.

These are like the chrome bags, but with 100% more industrial-design-bike-nerd cred, 'cause they are all made out of recycled tarps from the side of trucks and seatbelts and inner tubes and stuff. So every pattern is unique to your bag!

Unfortunately they don't really go in for backpacks (I have seen a freitag backpack but they don't seem to have any on their site at the moment).

JD · « **Reply #2545 on:** 07 Jan 2010, 21:26 »

Oh man I would totally love one of those

Fuck, I want a Chrome Marathon in the default black & red but they're only got the fucking olive in stock.

I've needed a new bag for a while, and now I'm really jonesing for a Mini-Metro. Time to save up $120.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #2548 on:** 09 Jan 2010, 09:54 »
