    Thanks for the opinions fellas. Normally this would have been an easy choice but I do tend to like reverse or distressed leather more than normal smooth leather, which is why I was a little undecided. Eton if your Augustas were a 42 I would have bought them .

    But I think the MA+ will age better and show better distressing/creasing with more wear, whereas the Julius doesn't show much wear at all coz they're so tough.

    Sold and ordered .

        those carpes look beat and i don't think those ma+ will look right if they are cut down to mid-ankle height. i say hold out for something better....

            ^ Carpe + MA+, I would pass on both personally. I'm not a big fan of the metal eyelets on the 1st pair plus they look beat up. The rugged soles on the 2nd pair kill it for me.

              Used Rick black/milk trainers from 09 or DBSS black re-issues?

                DBSS! Just got a pair of the gray ones and fell in love all over again.
                (the "all over again" being due to already having had a pair of black ones for a couple years)

                    DBSS are not as iconic and recognizable, cheaper, much better in terms of quality... But Rick dunks are beautiful.

                        ^ Carpe Noctem...depends on what you need. I would go for the CCP derbys if they fit and then the Carpe boots.

                          would be hard to come up with more varying options than those 3, they aren't really comparable

                            Think of the comparison in an absolute sense as opposed to a relative basis. I don't really need any of those, but it'd be nice to have a new pair of kicks.

                            I normally wear a 13US and I'm concerned the CCP may not fit, even with the insole taken out. Any advice on that?

                              the ccp won't fit, even if it runs big for a 10 which it likely does. the dior are not worth the $$ and buckle straps are a useless detail which annoys me. cdiem all the way man! if u find u don't like the brown u can dye them for cheap. it may be heresy but once the boot is yours u can do whatever u want with it. i just dyed a brand new ma+ boot and it looks perfect!

                                LUC s/s tee




                                Could anyone who have handled the tees from s/s 2009 before comment on the material? I'm looking to get either piece from lazzari, but was hoping if I could get any feedback here first. Own a LS, and SS myself, but mostly from later seasons.

                                My main concern is if the material is very soft/thin/sheer-like? I don't want it thick like a short sleeve sweater, neither do I want it too thin whereby my nipples will show. Also, any idea if the latter is reversible? Would pretty much rather just purchase only one too, and am leaning more on to the second one as off now, mainly due to the color composition.
