    Now that I'm retired and famous I have the ultimate fashion style...nothing is more street than sweat pants, sweat shirt and tennis shoes....when I really hit the big time I'll only have a tux, a bathrobe and a pair of swimming trunks

    Kind of like the Man with No Name fashion movement: poncho, brown hat, and tan cowboy boots.

    That’s what I meant, it’s worth spending money on quality materials, that’s the part of “luxury goods” that gets missed sometimes with the hype and the $100 t shirts.

    Quality jeans are expensive, or you can buy Target shit for $25 and it falls apart. All the way down to the material, the zippers, the thread, the craftsmanship. I pay for all that, more so than the brand.

    Just musing in general, but I’d rather have 1 quality pair of jeans that will last 20 years than 4 pairs of shit that is threadbare a year later.

    Haven’t shopped uniqlo but I’ve seen some of their nicer selvedge and it looks quality for the money especially. Will peep.

    Now that you don't have to answer to anybody it's the time to go out and freak people out with your personal expression of style

    It's pretty funny when I was in Hong Kong chilling at a store and some Street photographer was just taking pictures of me and my dad it was so weird

    Just picked these up and even though I swore off Nike....I love these. Most comfortable kicks ever..the rib design moves like there's no shoe on your foot...brilliant design..no rigid surface..mine are all black though..no white soles

    Me? I love wearing boxer shorts while smocking a cigarette and drinking a beer while lounging and walking around the house. Freaks out the church ladies that come to my door from time to time.
    My wife says I need a shave. Whadda you guys think about my four day old stubble?

    I've outgrown the Birks stage. Moved passed the tennis shoe fashion show.

    I now wear footwear that lets the rest of the world know I don't want to hear about their feel good agenda, their political views, or, how I should live my life.

    I now wear bunny slippers everywhere. But will switch to boots if the shit gets too deep.

    I thought it was women who talked about their footwear.

    Dear God, let's not ever talk about soap operas we've seen.
    I pledge not to voluntarily watch a soap opera unless it's humorous in the vein of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
    There's a large screen TV in my office and sometimes when I'm on the computer, my wife will watch her soap operas in the same room at the same time. Yuck
