I just found out they're releasing them today. I don't keep up with sneakers so I never know what's going on until I see people talking about them.

Yeah. I think Guido quit SF because how uniform they got to be, even for menswear. I don't think he posts outfits anymore since he moved back home.
I used to look at his stuff on the work CPU and my coworker asked when I went to China

Nordstrom Rack is stepping up. Saw Lanvin and a few higher brands at the local branch today.

There's a ton of collabs for women this year... but for guys the only one I can think of is Pharrell x Uniqlo

PS handled Vince leather jackets. Avoid at all cost, quality is pretty bad..even at 50% off. felt like faux stuff you would expect from H&M and them.

Hey bros, I'm in the market for a winter parka. Don't want to go as bulky as a north face. Any suggestions?

It depends on your field/work culture. Anything goes here on Friday for me...just have to cover feet aka no sandals.
Northface is very packable, and that's why it's popular among travelers. I personally use my NF puffer jacket a lot when traveling to the east an mid west in colder months. Not sure what your price range is.
APCs go on sale at many places. I got my NS for about $70 from Barneys, but it wasn't raw or selvedge though.
APC used to be good for price to quality ratio about 5 years or so ago. I think Naked & Famous has taken that spotlight from them.
Nordstrom Rack is only good for on clearance items. Their everyday price is meh.
How were they not raw or selvedge? Used?
I remember buying APCs when the retail was still around 140 I believe. Annoying how they raised the price due to the demand.
Either way, N&F, APC and Nudies are all horrible. Esp APC in terms of price to quality ratio.

Can't forget the uniqlo x bastian collab either. Some nice polos. Clarks usually has some decent collabs too, but those probably slow down during the summer.

Wait, what? I don't understand the question. It was not raw denim. They didn't have the selvedge piping. Not all APCs are raws and/or selvedge. They have denim in various washes.
N&F actually go on sale. I paid retail for my powder stretch, which I have no regrets. I have a raw selvedge joint that I got for about 50% off so not bad at all for around $70-80.
These are middle tier, if not lower. I'm not denim buff to be shelling out for PBJ or $300+ jeans.

Didn't even know they sold washed and non-selvedge NS until I looked at the online store just now. Haven't looked on there in a long time, last time I only saw raw denim.

2-3 times per year
We were talking about two different things
I've seen some PS on the nordstrom rack for around $50. I dont really pay attention to APC''s other stuff unless it has something to do with Nike.
But if you're looking for great raw denim under 300, I'd recommend 3Sixteen.

I've become so used to wearing dress shoes that I don't really wear sneakers even on casual Friday although I'm thinking of wearing my Chaos Kobe IV and Home Finals PE Kobe IV this week and next.

Eh, not everyone is into this stuff. Some only wear suits when they have to. I've seen guys wear suit jackets with the pockets still sewn shut and the vents also still sewnHomie is young so whatever, but how about when you see grown men rocking the bottom button buttoned? I cringe.
of course, they pair of with some Rockport or round toe joints because if the shoes aren't sneakers...they gotta be dress shoes.

When you sit down you should actually unbutton all buttons unless it's a DB since that has an interior button which makes it more tedious.actually sitting down I knew to unbutton the bottom then I forgot once I got drinks in me
The reason to leave the last button undone is to provide for a better drape. This goes for waist coats and cardigans too.
