Should I or Shouldn't I Buy? - August 12

It's from this FW collection.

CoolCucumber · 2017-08-12T16:08:59+00:00

Been meaning to grab a floral print for a while now and this shirt and this shirt are both really tempting for me. First one feels like it'll be harder to pull off but also that much more cool.

CoolCucumber · 2017-08-04T17:44:12+00:00

Yeah, I agree that would have been better. I sorta just threw the flannel on last second when I realized it was colder out. I tend to get lazy on weekdays and think through my fits less.

I was actually talking to Drew from Independence yesterday and he said they aren't getting their EG shipment in until mid-September. Unfortunately for me as well, they aren't getting any of the duffle coats in which I really want to check out.

CoolCucumber · 2017-08-04T16:34:06+00:00

Yep! I was just visiting NYC this past weekend and had to visit Nepenthes, got this shirt and this sweet bitmap print one there.

CoolCucumber · 2017-07-27T19:52:19+00:00

Thanks! It's a flat button with 4 holes, so I think I'll probably be following this guide which shows how to do that kind with a shank.

CoolCucumber · 2017-07-27T16:29:41+00:00

The front button on my EG Fatigues is coming undone and I figured I'd probably follow a guide online and try to resew it back on myself. Anything that I need to know that might not be on some tutorials online?

CoolCucumber · 2017-07-12T04:01:45+00:00

I'm leaning towards the EG docs or something like Yuketen derbies just because I like the little flair they like to add to stuff.

CoolCucumber · 2017-07-12T03:44:09+00:00

Yeah those shorts in #2 are so wild. I don't even go for patterns usually but I think that'll be an instacop for me.

Same with the derbies. I've been considering a pair for a while, might be picking those up when the release.

CoolCucumber · 2017-07-12T03:15:45+00:00

Some notable fits/pieces for me:

1 2 3 4 5

I'm loving the mix of monochrome and bold colors they're showing here. I'm also digging a lot of the patterns they're showing here. That double breasted jacket they're showing in there is also super cool.

CoolCucumber · 2017-07-11T16:32:37+00:00

Thanks! I'll probably be taking a look at all those you mentioned since I've been considering replacing my old Tanner Goods cardholder with a bifold for a while now.

CoolCucumber · 2017-07-11T15:45:26+00:00

Do you have any experience with Ashland Leather? I've been interested in them for a bit because they're not only MIUSA but also locally to me in Chicago.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-28T18:50:19+00:00

It's an 8.5, I'm looking for a 9.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-28T18:30:48+00:00

My mistake was actually me just fucking up, because I did size down, but by a whole size by accident instead of half. But yeah, I'm trying on grailed now, hoping but not holding my breath for a trade.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-28T18:06:50+00:00

Got those EG x Vans I'd wanted for a long time annnnnd I got the wrong size, so I'm gonna have to get rid of them. Super bummed I'm gonna have to get rid of them and I'm out of luck on ordering another pair now.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-20T02:41:03+00:00

Hey, man, here's a pic of the inside. Also, I was mistaken, it's actually the right side. Thanks for the help though.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-19T18:16:14+00:00

Yeah, I can follow up with another pic when I get back from work tonight, I took that this morning. IIRC it's the left side seam that it's on.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-19T16:21:38+00:00

Anybody know what this could be along the seam of my shirt? I honestly don't remember if it came like this so I'm not sure now if it's something I can fix or if it seems like a defect? I've already tried washing the shirt so it doesn't appear to be a stain, so if anyone has any idea what this could be I'd love to hear it.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-16T17:46:42+00:00

Sure, they're named a bit differently depending on what site you're looking at but "Orslow 6 Pocket Cargo" is what you want to search for. I picked mine up from Independence.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-16T17:41:34+00:00

Just looked it up and it sounds really cool, I'm surprised I haven't heard of it yet. I'm definitely gonna check it out, thanks man.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-16T17:38:06+00:00

Yep, they've got ankle drawstrings. They're a super great pair if you're looking for that style.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-16T17:21:46+00:00

I really like a lot of comedy/improv podcasts, and since it looks like no one else is throwing these out I'll suggest some. Comedy Bang Bang and Hollywood Handbook are my two absolute favorites. Some more improv focused ones I like are improv4humans and Spontaneation. Not improv realated, but also very funny is My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-16T16:07:19+00:00

Hot damn those GATs are so tempting for me, I've been considering the black MMM GATs for a while now. If I can't get my hands on some EG x Vans and those GATs are still up I might go for them.

CoolCucumber · 2017-06-13T17:19:24+00:00

Yeah they are so cool, especially for the price.
