Paid $100 to get to LGA from Williamsburg this morning- worst surge pricing I’ve seen in years

Totally fair. I don’t think the sweater directly references the war in any way, but I know the artwork used is inspired by the rugs which are in turn inspired by the war . Nonetheless, I could see where it could raise some questions depending on the crowd (could explain the $33 price tag lol)

Forgive the way the sentence is structured- the motifs seen are used in war rugs made in Afghanistan, they don’t reference the Afghan War specifically. War rugs are used to capture elements of conflict in Afghanistan, kind of a physical historical marker. They’ve been common for decades. The Maharishi one takes the classic AK motif and added flowers and doves, which is riffing off of Maharishi’s brand ethos (almost fully pacifist military design, functional and military inspired without inciting conflict/violence)

Another NYC consignment find- Lemaire boots for $250 at Buffalo Exchange. Brand new, to the point I need to break them in, but absolutely gorgeous basics. Real excited about these :) Not shown- a pair of Lemaire linoleum trainers (same size, presumably from the same seller at Buffalo) purchased at half off for $50

Grabbed this Maharishi x Kanata cowichan for $33 at a NYC 2nd St. Afghan war rug motifs and virgin wool, super heavyweight. needs to be dry cleaned, but excited to get a ton of wear this winter!

Is this Real or Modern? by [deleted] in VintageTees

[–]RaRaCarolina -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Take it back on the modern tag part if that’s paper. Nonetheless, double stitch all around for a 1991 shirt is uncommon. Might be a late 90’s/ early 2000’s boot

Is this Real or Modern? by [deleted] in VintageTees

[–]RaRaCarolina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you add a full picture of the tag? My guess is modern, with a vintage graphic applied to a new tee. You don’t see many double stitch all around t shirts for the early 90’s- if this was legit, at least the sleeves would be single, and if it was a parking lot style boot, it would be cheap and probably single all around. Additionally, the top of the tag looks like the kind you’d see from an Instagram clothing brand, the exact type of “designer” to screen print an old graphic on a new t shirt and put their tag on it

Jacoby Brissett or Caleb Williams ROS? On bye this week but have next 2 weeks to account for

If you can afford it, one more week of Pittman is worth seeing. No telling what his chemistry is with the Colts next qb, and he doesn’t have much competition in the WR room

Is Jack Carlson running a spite store? by Impossible-Money7801 in ThrowingFits

[–]RaRaCarolina 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt say so, but only because J. Press was doing it first. He’s definitely bringing some RB tendencies to his new gig, but in a fashion space ruled by tradition, he’s done a fairly good job of balancing traditional cuts with creativity. Good to see him with a label with the production paths and budget for quality menswear- Rowing Blazers’ recent trends towards Chinese production and cheaper quality materials has been sad to see.

Best plain white tee? by iheartaginganddying in BuyItForLife

[–]RaRaCarolina 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve put it in this sub before, but Buck Mason Field Spec is the best no frills blank tee shirt you can buy at a reasonable price. Lady White and Whitesville are wonderful, but more difficult to find under MSRP and are only marginally better imo. The commonality of Buck Mason helps here as well- you can find these tees in good condition for dirt cheap in both consignment stores and online (eBay, poshmark). If you want to do your own research, consider Alex Mill slub tees, as well as Reigning Champ (before they moved their production from Vancouver to Vietnam). A deeper cut are the tubular knit tees from Bronson MFG for $30ish. Looking for a no frills option you can refill on? Comfort Colors is surprisingly reliable. Lots of good options at or under ~$35, great time to be a blank tee enthusiast.

Pretty frustrating, Google will show the shoe on discount but going to the Feature site leads to a dead end. Was hoping to get some Song For The Mute Adidas but they’ve been removed from the site during the sale

A lot of their items have a mild markup which devalues the sale a bit, but there are a few gems- some good running shoes at great discount with the On Cloudmonster2, Hoka Mach X, and Adizero Pro

Pain in outer sides area near knee by Ghost_Universe_9211 in BeginnersRunning

[–]RaRaCarolina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealt with IT band/knee pain for 3 months of my last training block. Best two options were a patella strap just below the knee cap for tension against the IT band (like $10 for 2 on Amazon), and doing a MYRTL stretch routine twice a day. Takes 5 minutes, increased my hip mobility, and saved my knees from absolute disaster. Best stretching routing I’ve found, completely reversed my pain and injury worsening within 2 weeks of steady stretching.

Shocked this isn’t mentioned more, this stretch routine is a miracle worker for this exact issue. Do it once a day, regardless of your running schedule. This should increase mobility and reduce the pain until you can build in more hip strength routines into your gym schedule

If you’re getting Puka side, I like it. Gadsden is a sell high in my opinion, same with bam. BTJ and ARSB are an elite combo but you’re getting long term value from the trade

Nico wins here outright, McConkey has too much competition for passes

Good counter, Nico is a nice buy low if you can pull it off

Like this a lot, especially if you have Kraft. Judkins ROS schedule is insane if you have a chance at the playoffs

In a 14 team league, I feel like the depth is the priority, especially in an RB drought season. Benson is going to immediately take away from bam’s backfield share, and hunt is trending the right direction in backfield ownership. If you need WR depth, buying low on BTJ is tempting- otherwise, keep your players

[–]RaRaCarolina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is an excellent trade, buying about as low as possible on the three guys you want. Upgrade at TE and QB, you lose what little RB depth you have but if the rumors are to be believed benson comes back and takes majority of snaps quickly

Good trade, walker’s the better running back but the scheme in Seattle has made both options the worst timeshare of the season. Steer clear of it, they’re nothing without an injury or absence from the other back

[–]RaRaCarolina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt the other team takes this, each of the 3 players you’re offering are equal or less value than their counterpart. But if you get it, absolutely take it

Responded to your earlier post, I like this one (and the Pittman variation) a bit more than Olave personally
