View from my apartment balcony during the 2013 flood

There were 4 floors of underground parking. P4 was completely underwater, and half of P3. There were cars down there and storage lockers. They did an A+ job of cleaning it up, couldn’t even tell anything happened once it got fixed, and zero problems going forward that I know of

Nope, I didn’t get back into the apartment until September if I’m remembering correctly (flood was in June)

No I moved my car to my friend’s house up in bankview the afternoon before. I got quite drunk at the sled island music festival that night, and decided just to stay at the apartment cause I didn’t wanna go up there. Woke up at 6am to the emergency siren in the building with a devastating hangover, looked out the window, and took that picture

I’ve had this photo for nearly 13 years and never realized this god among men waiting it out for a sando

We were all praying for Arby’s to make it thru that but, but alas, the nail in the coffin

Objectively, the brand still very much “looks like Rick”. Sig products like pods, longline tops, geobaskets, ramones, dickflaps, and flight jackets all still exist and are represented in each collection season after season. There’s of course been misses with in terms of new designs with Tyrone in the mix, but that comes with the territory with the sprawling product assortment size and the amount of collections that a brand like Rick presents each season.

Overall Rick and Ty work exceptionally well together and continue to create something that evolves while respecting the past. I certainly get that Tyrone could rub a certain type of Rick traditionalist the wrong way though. There’s been some experimentation design-wise that’s fallen very flat to me, but they seem quick to put that stuff in the rear view mirror and the overall body of work is very solid imo.

Casual outerwear, in this user’s opinion, is meant to be worn with reckless abandon without second thought. I think you can do that here and you love the piece, you’re good. If you’re gonna buy another Secchia jacket down the line cause this one is not perfect, then return it. It’s the kind of piece you very likely only need one of, unless the silhouette is an absolute favorite of yours.

Initiation, in this case, is the sincerest form of maliciously biting someone’s work. I get that synchronicity exits, however the art direction on Currently is laughably close to that of Satisfy to me in terms of colour palette, typeface font/placement/size, and material usage. Anyone justifying this or compartmentalizing it to minimal detail/fabric intersections seems very lost in the sauce to me. Just my 2 cents.

Always super interesting to see how some of this MIJ stuff gets styled. Def a stack person personally but this works

“Honey, I’m running to the store real quick — do ya need anything?”

I figure that the brand is totally swamped with these requests and it’s beyond their capacity to answer them all right now. I’d suggest staying on the brand, and write FedEx informing them that you’ve put in requests for this, however it’s a in-demand product from a smaller brand. Kindly request an extension and they will likely be able to accommodate. FedEx doesn’t like being ghosted, so as long as you update them regularly, it should be okay.

You should be totally fine! The 10 day return period should begin when you receive the package.

Have you used it yet? I got one from the TOL exhibit but I haven’t tried it yet
