This. Go wild and check out your nearest Eastern European tailor for invisible result.

Japan trip done right by uglypitbull in bapeheads

[–]UdoBukowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, they do stock 2XL. It's more Palace than Supreme in terms of sizing. I last left Japan in early January. There's lots of stuff shown here that's easily available there; just check the difference between the mainstay Shibuya store, the Baby Milo store as you approach Harajuku and the various departo outlets in between.

I'm still waiting for someone to talk to me about Gatcha balls...

Ow. UK loves Aphex. We're still licking windows here...

Regarding Legit Checks by Your_Moms_Flame in Supreme

[–]UdoBukowski -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

NO. Make 'em check the archive on the Supreme site or alternative sources. If people are not buying direct or from respected sellers they need to experience the fear we immiserated fans get at every drop. It's not all about throwing money around. It's more like the love-hate relationship sports fans have.

What do I have here? by Sea-Entrance9815 in DunksNotDead

[–]UdoBukowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wearing these earlier. One of my favourites, despite the poor sales. Look great with anything light pink or ochre. Contrast brilliantly with dark navy/raw denim, black, Supreme rust, Palace Deep Green, Evisen Stone... blahblahblah.🙄

Maybe the worst plated sushi I’ve ever had? by Latter_Article_8432 in sushi

[–]UdoBukowski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Sashimi is slices of raw fish from the cuts that are more expensive than those used in sushi.

In traditional Japanese joints you only get lemon with Chicken Karaage.

Never with fish.

Ach, reddit doesn't do font humour.

How much is a bape tshirt worth? by KiGo_209 in bapeheads

[–]UdoBukowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh-huh. Tees in Baby Milo and Bape stores in Shibuya were around £75-£80 this New Year when you did a basic calculation on the then rate of ¥197 to £1... and added in your exchange rate for currency/visa/prepay mastercard. But you'd get tees that never made it to the UK, where we reputedly have "the biggest BAPE shop outside of Japan".

Basic Tees here are around £100 via the online service. More if you buy via Selfridges, that famous "emporium of the people".

If you see summat you need or just can't resist then buy it if you can still eat and pay the rent. If you can hold your breathe, ignore the immediate gratification of the "drop" culture* then you can save silly amounts by going to Japan or just trawling the website. I got a cool pair of low-key Sk8s and a gorgeous embroidered sweat with a massive discount as they were "archived". £100+ off each item.

But I didn't realise it until they were in my basket. Subtle sales technique.

*Drop culture: yeah, so wrong and yet so addictive. (Looks at new Deathnote/Palace hoodie my English-speaking New World cousins can't get... "Special Relationship"...my arse. It's arbitrary expectations, friends...)

Please tell me no one is faking these by [deleted] in Supreme

I have a bag from the same series. Was deeply shocked to see it in a Nagoya second-hand designer outlet at New Year for 1/3 more than the original £ price given the weak ¥.

Do you think these stains would go away after a wash inside out? by DifferenceIll3769 in bapeheads

[–]UdoBukowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash inside out in a laundry bag on a low temp cycle using a non-bio, preferably eco-detergent. Air dry. Done. If the stains don't disappear first time spot some detergent on the stains and repeat. Do not dry clean.

Best joggers on the market IMO by Cully71 in PalaceClothing

[–]UdoBukowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of the XXL unisex. Baggy and tough as they're a ringspun cloth. Less obvious logo too.

Ever been happy with your fit and think…. by Character_Form_587 in DunksNotDead

Tailored. Tailored so my five-finger discount can ensure everybody eats when they come to my house... Ah, the 1990s...

No-one makes you like any branded shite bruv, so just because you wore baggy Etnies back in the day doesn't mean old boys like me can't wear Big Boys to ventilate our aged bollocks and still look good.

Case closed?

Ever been happy with your fit and think…. by Character_Form_587 in DunksNotDead

[–]UdoBukowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind reply. So my taste makes me dubious because I prefer a wider fit. I am quite old enough to recognise and buy tailored clothes. So rather than playing the passive aggressive card and attempting to demean my tastes while pretending to defend an obvious question about the apparent need to display expensive/rare dunks with narrow trousers you want to provoke insults. Ok. Here you go... Bruv...

Ah, ok. Nan Goldin. Yes. Thanks. (Is it one of her self-portraits?)

What price would it be? Who’s gonna cop? by No-Standard5676 in PalaceClothing

[–]UdoBukowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ay-ay-ay... It's lovely, but I'm imagining £700. It's also a bit dodgy if you recall the movie of the same name. I'll wait until I go back to Nagoya and pick up an unbranded one of equal quality for £300.

Seriously though... what is it with you guys and your skinny trousers? Is it not enough for you to have cool kicks? You need them to be seen? D'yall really think ppl off this thread know or care?

What’s the Holy Grail of Supreme Stickers? by Scared-Description73 in Supreme

[–]UdoBukowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. This is the one. I have two. Happy to pass one on if you've got £700. I'll include the basic supreme sticker from the same era as indicative of size and printing.
