You could get them from Zam for only slightly more expensive than AA with the upside of additionally not having to support a sexist company like AA.

Falke socks from Germany are also very nice and last forever.

Who does a sort of... espadrille-esque leather slip on with a heel?

Previous main contender: Guidi x Siki IM

Moto 1645 is pretty good. Better heel but not sure about the heel tab + contrasting crepe sole

Could always add a heel to the Guidi 27E... but eh.

Thanks!

I've been wanting something like this for ages, just have no idea what I would them with, I'd be curious to hear about this... Tapered lightweight pants?

I have seen Marsell do some slip on footwear that I have enjoyed. Especially this pair of loafers, not sure what they are called exactly but the silhouette is nice.

Hi guys just wondering if anyone knows if a tailor would be able to dye the lining of this Rick Owens Bauhaus shearling? The cream lining is a bit lairy imo and I'd rather it be black.

Calf Skin Vs. Goat Skin

Can anyone offer any opinions on calf skin vs. goat skin. I've just about outgrown my RO Stooges in calf skin. I'm thinking about sizing up to the RO Stooges in goat skin.

Did anyone handle this BBS leather (from current season)? If so, how did you like it? What was sizing like?

I bought a J1, sized up, and I regret not buying a J2 because J2 after alot of thorough investigation is probably the best leather he has to offer.

[neostrifeX]

I bought the yak J1 from this season and love it. I personally went true to size and it fits well. I have to agree that the J2 leather is better, but I hate the thumb straps on the J2 and like the design of the J1 more.

[stagename]

J2 ... is probably the best leather he has to offer.

I'm curious, care to explain why this is?

I'm curious, care to explain why this is?

it has the versatility of multiple collars (or none), which can be dressed up or down, it also comes in different styles but if you can get one that is overlock it certainly has a visual one up to the other styles of leather, and it has finished sleeves which is something my J1 is driving me crazy with.

I mean I could go more into it if you want but if you ask me it is the quintessential BBS leather.

Damn... I thought this was the first thing one should know about BBS... that J2 horse is his most iconic piece...

The leather treatment is pretty much the same like other series, and I'm also particularly fond of my J4 for its great detailing.
