Small questions thread

Hehe no worries. I think I have 2 CCP pieces left in my wardrobe. Liberated everything else because it was just not comfortable to wear. If I lived in a city where i took public transportation/walked everywhere it may have been more fun, but getting in and out of a car etc. just isn't with CCP.

i can completely empathize.

so, you're essentially saying you're in strictly Nike & Google these days? [glass, of course]

^^ yep driving with a CCP horse leather on is a masochistic experience.

Haha, Nike Gyakusou when running/at the gym. Otherwise mostly Rick and Boris because it's comfortable, goes with everything and is appropriate for almost all social settings

In terms of store (there are plenty of restaurants to visit!), depends what you're into... don't forget to visit more than one L'Eclaireur, the selection differs from one to another. Then, there is Yohji, Comme Des, maybe Kamille (http://www.kamilleparis.fr/index2.html) though the only store selling menswear (in le Marais), might still be closed.
In terms of SZ brands, not much more to see. You could check out Colette (I haven't in years...). There is also a small "créateurs" section at Le Printemps. Not much else.
Check out the Musee de la Mode and Musee Galiera, there might be good fashion exhibitions.

good fashion exhibitions.

How do you identify what cut a pair of RO denim is? The tag is kind of destroyed from the dying process but I can make out that it says DS 7304 /SDL and also 0094 DUSTY BL. Does that make any sense to anyone?

i don't buy normal jeans from drkshdw, but if they are skinny/tapered leg, they're probably 'detroit', if they are 'straight leg' then they are likely 'berlin'.

Also posted this in the Rick Owens trainers thread but I'm guessing I'll get more response here.

Btw, they're two weeks old and I've worn then maybe five times.

If someone could take a look:

Can someone explain what this white stuff is? I'm guessing something like glue? I can't get it off scratching, clean or whatever.

Only my right shoe has this, so I guess it isn't normal.



Clickable!

Edit, also found it here so It can't be glue...?

I think salt stain..

I think salt stain..

Is there a way to confirm if it's a salt stain? Can't imagine how it could have gotten salt stains on it... Haven't worn them in snow or during rain. And then again, these are as good as new? How could they stain is easily?
