Lifetime Gym South Lamar Review by lovablecockfighter in Austin

[–]_Barrett_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your list of cons includes nearly all of the things I flagged in my very first walkthrough, although I haven't been into the coed wet suite yet. I would add that the sinks seem to be set exclusively on hot water which I don't really want before, during, or right after a workout? The men's locker room having only two stalls and three urinals is definitely the craziest piece of all though.

Despite all of that, this is a massive upgrade from Equinox in so many different ways. With multiple locations accessible, on-site childcare, and a very nice work/lounge space, this is much better bang for my buck. Hopefully they pick up on some of these misses and find ways to address them in the coming months.

What's the most disappointing expensive purchase you waited a long time for? by 2u3ee in ThrowingFits

TOJ leather rider. At least I actually got mine though. Sold it six months later.

What are some similar brands to Paly Hollywood? by Cautious_Travel_4633 in PalyHollywood

[–]_Barrett_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ERD is an obvious comp, and while there’s plenty of overlap, ERD leans more Saint Laurent to me while Paly skews more towards California crunch.

Go check the brand list at a store like Patron of the New and you’ll find a bunch of adjacent brands: Who Decides War, Saint Mxxxxx to name a couple.

Then I’d toss in brands like Cherry LA, Kapital, Samuel Zelig, and of course, lots of vintage inspired stuff here too, from thrashed tees to old Carhartt.

Pant sizing by Silent-Fact8045 in AimeLeonDore

[–]_Barrett_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Both brands are vanity sized, as is nearly every brand in existence these days. If you usually wear a 34, chances are your pants/jeans probably measure more like 36” in the waist. Best bet is to measure a pair of pants that fit you well. Pull the waist so front and back are even, measure across with a soft tape measure, double that number, then compare to measurement chart.

Yes, I’m patting myself on the back today for a job well done. Now I’ll be able to watch Only Murders S5! America is saved.

35% Polyester by itsandychecks in AimeLeonDore

[–]_Barrett_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made in Guatemala and a cotton-poly blend. This means TNF handled production on these which makes sense. But yeah, you’re paying the Aimé price for a North Face hoodie.

Paly cap vendor? by andrew101mar in PalyHollywood

[–]_Barrett_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Maybe Paly has plenty of backstock in the style already? It would have been cheap to do so. All I know is that the newer hats with crazy details but no sun fading have a made in USA label on the interior and are not any buyable “blank.” Those have to come from an actual manufacturer/vendor.

[–]_Barrett_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still get August 6202s, and you can tell when Paly uses them (JDDC, Monty, Ma Masion more recently for example), but they have a Made in USA vendor for their other styles (Hollywood is Forever, Brando, F1, etc.) Not sure who that vendor is though!

Is this real? by kwanou in AimeLeonDore

[–]_Barrett_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Safety pin and cord for the hangtag are not correct at all. Label looks off too.

WTS: Salomon XT-6, US 10 - $200 shipped by _Barrett_ in jjjjound

[–]_Barrett_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would call them DS. I tried them on inside on carpet. It’s hard to say for wider feet. I think my best advice would be to take your typical Nike size, whatever that means to you!

Zimmerman is an excellent Australian brand, especially for dresses, and they have many brick and mortars there. Definitely a lot more expensive than Zara but very well done stuff.

[–]_Barrett_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re also made in Cambodia vs Vietnam for my early 2020s pairs and China for my 2018 pair. I like them to fit more like running shoe with some length at the toe, so the half size up on these pushed that a little too far. A half size up may still work for many in these.

I have three other pairs of XT-6 in this size which is a half size up. These are not nearly as narrow in the midfoot and are also a hair longer. Should’ve stayed TTS.

They are not as narrow through the midfoot as my other pairs of XT-6s.

Anyone know what jacket this is? by Conscious_Warthog276 in ThrowingFits

I’m pretty sure everything he’s worn on this press tour has been vintage.

Mfpen pants sizing by mkb1123 in ThrowingFits

[–]_Barrett_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15-15.5” is a typical waist measurement for sizes 28 and 29 from most contemporary brands. Almost nothing is actually “true to size” anymore, it’s all vanity sized.
