Small questions thread

So you're telling me you don't wash your socks after wearing once?

I don't if it's for 2 or 3 hours like I usually wear them: in such a case I just put them into water with a bit of washing powder. It's enough to remove the sweat from them (they don't have the dirt) but obviously isn't enough to remove leather stains which are left already in 2-3 hours unfortunately. Do you run a full circle wash for each pair of socks each day or gently rub them for an hour by hand each day? I envy your dedication.

^ this, and
What are considered designer socks, why do you need them, and why on earth couldn't you find black ones?

My only black socks are bbs11 which were everywhere as massmarket. I was able to find some Rick and Yohji first line socks only in white/black with all white sole. Besides these, BBS first line which I missed and Kenzo/CdG (which I don't like, too fancy) I was unable to find any socks made by a designer house, would you kindly show me some places?

I like black bamboo socks, very comfortable. Obviously my socks aren't designer house socks.

Is this a joke? I can't tell anymore. I always thought those socks were put out for the nerds/collectors, I didn't realize people actually wore them

[lowrey]

I can't tell either, I hope he is just trolling.

I mean, buy what you want, but its pretty fucked up if you are unable to settle for regular black socks because you can't find a designer version.

must have

You know you like this, unwashed

Haha, good one ;)

Which of the Rick drop crotch pants have the least dramatic drop crotch?

[messenoire]

Does anyone have info/pictures of a part cotton part leather drkshdw hoodie from several years ago. It's a fairly normal looking hoodie that had irregular leather patches on it. Probably 4+ years old.


I know this is a terrible description and that's not much to go off but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about. I remember seeing one on rakuten a couple of months ago.

is it that slab hoodie? looks like leather panels...

[apathy!]

I'm sure it was drkshdw and it definitely wasn't that slab one.

thanks though!

This meme usage was epic, simply epic. You've surely shown me.

Is this a joke? I can't tell anymore. I always thought those black drapey clothes and old handmade boots were put out for the autistic nerds/collectors, I didn't realize people actually wore them.

On a more serious note, I am trying to collect them AND wear them as well. This is another reason why I am sad of thrashing them right after 2-3 hours of wearing. Of course it's possible for me just to collect them without wearing but as of now I am trying to find a way to save them from being thrashed that fast.

Please note the only person trolling (or completely missing the point) here is unfortunately you.
Kindly let me explain it for you once again more properly if you're unable to understand it from the first time (this is just a statement of fact, not a personal attack since I really think it's misunderstanding):
I have plenty of regular socks. White, black, grey, fancy, not fancy, M&S, Calzedonia, Rick Owens, Hardy Amies, Corneliani, whatever. More than that due to climate most of the time I am sockless, wearing sandals. However, sometimes I'd like to wear socks in question, and they are white: I found it unusual interior leather of geos is dyed/made this way it bleeds almost as, well, guidi bags for example. This is why I've asked for an advice here.
Hope it clears your issue and case is settled.

Sorry i must have missed this, but what is ANN DEMEULEMEESTER GRISE?

[kanne]

I was wondering the same thing when I saw it on Browns. Her website says 'classics for men', introduced 2013. Browns calls it 'a special tailoring capsule collection that expands on her signature line of attire.'

[xeraphim]

^ new (boring) tailoring range, introduced a season or two ago iirc.

Using "autistic" as a derogatory term is not okay.
