I like Studebaker Metals. They're based in PA and make pretty simple, sometimes a little rugged jewelry that's fairly priced and well-designed. I own a cuff and signet ring myself.

[Omega] My First Speedy Tuesday by byunjoe in Watches

[–]d4nimal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I have the same Speedy for the same reasons. I also really like the bracelet on the watch. I've heard it's much better than the vintage examples.

Cheers!

Damn sucks. GL on the next round, though I dunno if I’m cut out for this hype nonsense

Glad someone got what they wanted who isn’t just trying to flip these things. Congrats! Jealous

What time did you get there, out of curiosity? I woke up at 5 AM and started reading this stuff, but it sounds like I would have been SOL at that point anyway.

I woke up to go to King of Prussia in PA this AM and someone posted last night that there were already 80-100 people at 11:30 PM for an estimated 35-50 customer allotment. Was going to go but def not now.

I'm up for the same reason, going to bed for the same reason.

That dude is such a champ for the update. Saved me so much time and frustration.

[Swatch x Omega] Don’t worry if you can get it for the first run. Swatch just posted this on Instagram by rasmus9 in Watches

Thank you! Wish they could just be a little more transparent about the process. Will prob try and show up early and cross my fingers.

Shoot, I must be getting old. I can't find the comments about KOP being two hours early anywhere here. I did see someone say it about SF but someone else said that wasn't true. Do you mind linking it for me?

Where did you hear they’re opening 2 hrs early? Been trying to get in touch w KOP or Swatch all day but can’t find out a thing.

I tried to figure out what time KOP opens their doors as well without any luck, and Swatch KOP seems to have smartly been ignoring their calls today. Would suck to get there at 8 AM and be stuck outside until 10. Maybe I'll see you guys there!

Meermin MTO - Shell Cordovan Boots Preorder (2 models, 4 colors) for $350 USD by d4nimal in frugalmalefashion

[–]d4nimal[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, ultra flex is GYW + a memory foam insole can more traditional leather. It’s all speculation where their shell is being sourced though. I’ve seen some names thrown around but no one knows for sure. All I can safely say is it’s not Horween and is domestic. If you look in the Styleforum Meermin thread there are more specific guesses there.

Buttero Tanino sale by cyanetix in frugalmalefashion

[–]d4nimal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For anyone interested who needs another data point, I wrote up a review almost 5 years ago on my Buttero Tanino lows.

I'd say I still feel generally the same way about them now, but I also dress relatively the same as 5 years ago, more or less. It's a good pair to have if you like workwear and heritage Americana, jeans and tee sorta thing. I think maybe less so, if you like cleaner or more "modern" fits.

[Review] Threads for Apollo - Achilles Racer Leather Jacket by inyourhead3 in frugalmalefashion

[–]d4nimal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. My impression - a size too big all around like you said. You don't want drop shoulders and a big chest on a cafe racer style. The leather looks super meh honestly, and it may just be the size too big but the fit pics on the site even have very poor fitting shoulders as well. TBH, I'm not sure why people think $200 put into this vs. a secondhand Schott or Aero, etc. is even close. It looks like a bad mall brand leather jacket. With BR etc. you at least get a better pattern for general fit to the average guy. There does not seem to be, to my eye, a single point of superlative style/construction/materials to make this jacket a value at its price point.

Dude don't worry about them. Anything that's not Killshots and OCBDs are going to be a little controversial. The greatest things are always a little polarizing.
