How much you willing to pay to floss?

$18 a shirt is top price for me. I don't shop very often, and I'm currently rocking 2-year old stuff, but I remember scoping shit at known-to-be-expensive stores like Urban Outfitters a while back and paying $15 for high quality shit. Up to $25 is acceptable for the max illness, but beyond that is a no-go when it comes to tees. Nowadays, to get new shit, I just tell my friends when they go on vacation to find some bizarre cheapo stuff at the street market wherever they may be. My roomate got me this shirt from Turkey that features a baby with giant sunglasses touching his penis, and on the bottom it reads "MACHO" in bright pink cursive letters. The "O" is the male symbol with the arrow thingie. It kills every single other shirt I own and it cost $2 American.

 

My most oft-used pair of jeans cost me $30 at Old Navy. Then I hit the motherload when I raided a college dorm a few months back for end-of-year dumpstering and found some dude throwing away 3 pairs of Diesel jeans that fit me like a motherfucker.

 

Point is, if I wanna look different, it's not too hard to do it cheaply.

i hate that.in london a lot of the 'in' kids (unless you're a skater/goth/whatever) wear nike/reebok/adidas tracksuits and matching trainers - air force ones/shelltoes/classics.its like some uniform.other labels include evisu,burberry,avirex.

its funny how the nike swoosh logo resembles a tick - its like ticking off everyone who owns a nike product as one of the brainwashed ones (hey look this guy got one - he'll buy anything) - like you got one so do u,and u and u...

My first thoughts on this thread...

 

Sometimes it is an absolute must to have nice crisp clothes

simply because you make an impression based on looks.

I'm not talking so much about hitting the bars and trying to

look suave, as that's all personal style anyways, but I think

it's key to be able to look good for work. I've got a few suits

I hardly ever wear but they are pressed and hanging in the

closet just incase. If I'm meeting with baking types or possible

financers for some project I'm not going to wear jeans and a

t-shirt. I just doesn't look right.

 

So I'll spend good money on some gear that I use for

professional outings, but most of my stuff is on the bland

side of casual. Bland meaning crisp clean classics.

im definitely the least flossingest person i know

though i did manage to snag a pair of shoes at foot locker that every ninja comments on. feels like i must have made a mistake somewhere along the line, buying something cool.

i put all my style effort into my artwork. i kinda get off on how its like, 'wait a minute.. that stuff came out of that dude..??..'

The thing that a lot of kids were sleeping on when i was in highschool was i used to buy all white oldschools( air force ones dunks), what ever the hell you want to call them, for like $60 before Nelly made them trendy and more expensive. I would take them to a shoe repair shop that i knew about and have them dye them different colors for an extra $20. One of a kind shoes that only match my clothes perfectly.

Floss w/ the footwear for less than a bill...

 

you choose shoe design (skate, runner, casual...etc, theres a few design for each style) and you choose the colors and fabrics (even got the patent leather). so all one of a kinds... these get the comments too! even from the not so exclusive knowing.

plus they don't run sweatshops...fair labor!!

Just scored some LE Haze Dunks from a shop up the street. I just happened to be there when they got them and there was only one pair. it was half a size too big, but since I paid retail, it was a good score.

 

Though they're not the private labeled pair (Limited to 48 pairs worldwide), they were still a good catch since there's only 3000 pairs worldwide.

 

Straight flossin...

im guilty. right now, im wearing nike trackie b's, air force ones, and a nike "london" t. never ever seen anyone with the same t nor the same kicks so i like that.

 

however, i do know that i (and im sure many other english people do) is if they ever go to the states, stock up on loads and loads of clothes and shoes. i have a mate who took an extra, empty suitcase to carry all the clothes he planned on buying, back home.

I was chopping it up with my homie

that is into jordans. He was telling me

that he has a pair of red and black LE jordans

that are numbered andwhatever. And he

corrected me, he has 5 of those Jordans with

the suitcase, which he purchased from Nike Town

in Vegas. He said if you wnated to score some

sick ass LEs, thats the spot. He was telling

me about the custom jordans that people rock.

Such as Louis Vuitton, pradda, or gucci Jordans,

that are easy to get, but cost a few extra dollars.

Damn, he straight broke it down for me last night.

Damn, like you said Raven, those that are in the

know, would give you a nod, and thats dappers!
