        Thanks for the feedback guys, just kind of getting into this style of dressing so just testing the water with a few ideas before i start buying into this look.

          So, this might be a pretty stupid question but it does bother me nontheless. I'm going to purcharse my first pair of designer boots and seeing how I'm ready to spend everything I have for them currently I don't really feel like risking. I have CCP tornados in reversed cordovan on target but I'm not sure if going for a regular leather version wouldn't be more versatile. I have never handled nor seen the reversed version thus the question. And no, I'm unable to do so, I'm not up for travelling to Berlin just to do that.
          TLDR; Is reversed cordovan able to match anything or would regular leather version be more versatile?
          Also - I know about the zipper issues, but how long lasting are they themselves? Changing the zipper is neither time consuming nor pricey so it does not bother me but I would want the boots themselves to last me quite a few years.

          And also if anyone would want to say that they won't fit my industrial-trasher look (even though I think they would) I'm moving away from that so it's not an issue.

          Sorry if this seems inane.

            what are your rick owens leather baseball caps? i like the reappropriation of something so lazy but i dont know if it actually hits the target and transcends "hey guys i'm wearing the same cap as my 5 year old". what do you think?

              Messenoire, they're no different in terms of shape than ordinary baseball caps.

                The older seasons ones are neat and minimalistic (That's not to say you couldn't buy something very similar for far far less elsewhere). The new ones? the plastic adjuster and little ball on the top of the crown really do make them look like a five year olds cap.

                  I like the 5-year-old cap styling personally. A basic, but in a nicer material...although I probably wouldn't pay retail.

                    Leather caps are very Soviet pensioner.

                        Is it overkill if I get a RO Stooges jacket when I already own a ToJ Minimalist riders jacket? Or if I get an RO leather bomber when I already own a MMM 5-zip?

                        I really want to pick one up...ha.

                          It is, which is why you should dump the ToJ and get the stooges.

                              Offload the TOJ

                              I started off with 2 toj jackets

                              Sold them off and got Julius jut plus extra cash

                              Now I proudly own a Rick intarsia high neck in oiled calf from gleam

                              To this day I still ask myself why did I get those toj pieces. Internet hype maybe ?

                                TOJ is good, especially considering it's price, but nothing near the other jackets you mentioned. It's a totally different thing aesthetic wise.

                                TLDR; sell TOJ get stooges.
