are zam barrett j pants good to go for a boot tuck?

Yes they are, but not for an aggressive one. That's because of the slight J shape. If you want a more edgy look I would suggest the DNA ones.

has anyone tried the ann demeulemeester fw12 knee high boots? i'm wondering if they fit large (if so, by how much?) or not.

Definitely thought so, thanks for confirming.

^ that couldn't be more fake. The stitchline is not even properly sew on at the right tongue. And the engraved logo is ioffer approved. Can't believe people actually bid on that already...

would they work for ccp boot tuck?

I think its pretty difficult to say that for another person as it depends on what size you are and how the pants fit around your legs, fitted or loose, and same thing for the boots, whether they are really skinny in the ankles or have space etc...

what lowrey said is accurate. You 'd better ask ZamB for extra help.

Has anyone ever purchased products from Dressaddict?

Their concept of selling 'groups' of pieces is interesting but I just want to buy a cardigan without the basic top that comes with it...

lace-up combat boots

hey guys--I may have just done a spur of the moment cop: http://www.barneys.com/A-Diciannovev...boots&index=2# and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me about this boot--it says leather, but it's hard to tell exactly what it is. Also, anyone know how the sizing goes on this? I usually wear a 7.5D or 7.0E in Alden's big boot lasts (TruBalance, Barrie, Modified), but that's with dress socks. Hoping this fits with thicker wool socks at 8.

from what i can see dressaddict looks like shit just ripping off dated julius and rick quite blatantly in viscose like fabrics. they dont look like they have a real grasp of the aesthetic theyre selling but are aware of it's currently marketability. save your money.

Thanks for the insight. I know very little about actual garment construction / composition so I don't really know how to analyze something past how it is presented.

i can tell you that you got a good deal.

so, i clicked on that link and then looked around a little and saw the A1923 "ultra-distressed" sneakers for $2k. i gotta say that if i was just a regular joe, with only a passing interest in clothings, casually browsing around, and saw those shoes, i would be mildly blown away. just by the picture they really do look like beat to shit sneakers, for $2k. regular folks must think that whoever buys those is an absolute moron.

its funny. the real me is hell bent on buying a pair of those someday. at a more reasonable, grey/black market price of, say....$1k.
