Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Picked these Pure Blue Japans up in store at Steadbrook yesterday, for $43 after tax. Not sure if there is a code for the extra 50% off if you buy online or not, but they are a nice pair of denim

If you use code SS19 it drop it down to $66.70 so technically $56.70 just shipping cost $10. Never heard of brand but good deal nonetheless

I misspoke, the brand is actually called Japan Blue. There is another Japanese denim brand called Pure Blue Japan. In any case, both companies are known for raw denim. Japan Blue and Momotaro are owned by the same company, I believe.

These technically aren't raw as they've already been washed / faded, but they are 100% cotton with no stretch. Slightly larger leg opening than I've been used to lately, at least compared to John Elliott. Tight at the waist so I'm hoping they stretch out a little with wear. Nice colors though, and the knee rips actually hit right at my knees (unlike the honeycombs on my JE, which are halfway down my calf and it irks me).

Problem with some stretch jeans is the waist stretches out a lot.

Referring to new republic? I just bought some suede ones off Nordstrom rack. I couldn’t pull trigger on the suede joints off new republic that crepe sole

While certainly not the CPs listed above I found this company while doing some browsing at work today. Was looking for a simple all white shoe to throw on that could be dressed up or down. Anyone heard of this company before?

Supposedly handcrafted in Italy with 'premium' leather uppers.

Yeah I got a pair of their Wooster leather slip ons from Marshalls for like $40. Quality is definitely there but can be found on deep discount at Nordstrom Rack etc.

Steve Madden just purchased the greats. Wasn't there someone on here who was affiliated with the company ?

Yep. I have the sand ones, super comfortable. Getting a quality black leather pair with the right silhouette has been a process though.

Couldn’t find a good fit for my body type last time I was in AE. Tried to make it work. 6’4” 200lbs.
Ended up with two pairs of levi’s 502.

JCrew had a solid 35% off sale going last week and their garment dyed hoodies caught my eye. Really liked the colors. Bought 4 for the price of 1 JE hoodie

Not quite as nice as JE, but not bad either. Will likely buy more.
