Kind of a basic question, but are the Rick microrib cotton shirts meant to be worn as a base layer? I have a tank which I love and wear all the time, but only ever wear under other shirts. I recently picked up a white L/S shirt in the same fabric for $100, which is skintight. Looks ok but not sure I'd wear it like that on it's own, though it looks great over a tank and under a jacket - is that the intent, or is it meant to be worn under a looser top? Things like that it usually takes me awhile to figure out how to wear, so I'd rather just ask I guess.

doesn't really make much of a difference I guess. I had a couple of notably longer drips on mine which I chopped with a knife to make them even, the rest I let wear on their own"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

can we start an archival discussion on season specific fabrics? i know in our niche this is fairly common for a designer to come out with a fabric specifically for a season never to be heard of again. it'd be interested to run through a few designers that have done this and the nuances of each specific fabric.

Thinking of picking up the CCP drip sneakers. Is there any way to protect the soles? Don't necessarily need to preserve the drip effect, or anything like that, but any way to extend the life like you can with leather soles?
I walk really awkwardly and wear down the soles of my shoes really fast if I don't have taps/vibram soles on them and can't justify spending that much on shoes that'll be wrecked in 4-6 months, unless I can preserve them to some degree.

some have added taps, personally I dislike them, so I will probably vibram them once they've worn enough. should just require grinding the original sole flat and adding rubber to the whole sole, it could also be done in two parts so that you can just replace the heel part when needed."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

It hasn't happened to me yet and there are no visible sign of stress, but I have not asked anyone either. The inner U-sole core is constructed of both a dense foam and leather, at least from what I could tell after breaking through the rubber/polyurethane outer shell. That sort of construction lends itself to break resistance to repeated tension. Also the U-sole "bottoms out" in the fore section while walking putting less stress on the rear "U" and the gait altering effect of the shoe compels me to walk with more weight shifted towards to front of the shoe than normal . Maybe someone else has a U-sole breakage story though...

After reading some of the latest interesting posts in the "Less Clothes, Better Wardrobe?" thread, it inspired me to visit a thrift shop for the first time in my life. What struck me while going through the endless row of clothes in all different colors and textures was the feeling that: there's simply too many different styles, colors, textures and odd things for me to decide what even remotely seems nice and what doesn't, and I ended up dropping out of the store without any inspiration what so ever.
It seems that some people have success with mixing SZ brands with something 'unique' found in a thrift shop. So does any of you that are really good at finding special things have any tricks on how to approach thrifting and buying already used clothing? I really envy people that can do it but I find it so incredibly hard!

This can seem pretty daunting if you just want to pop in and peek around. If that's your case I'd recommend visiting vintage stores. There you can achieve looks that you might see in a collection. For example you might see some really great Yamamoto pants that are wide legged with suspenders, you go to the vintage store and find a 40s suit and the trousers have a similar cut and you can start to build a wardrobe off of them.
