Sorry to pick on you Daldeezy. I still think you are the sheezy. If i am ever in Alberta we should kick it. Are you in Calgary?

Currently across the world typing on dis laptop in Nagoya.

What are yalls thoughts on wholecut dress shoes? I think theyre cool, but people seem to think they are only for extremely formal outfits. Id rock em business cazh.

I have always found them thoroughly heinous, if i'm being honest. Obvs just my opinion. In terms of "should I rock them _____" I'd say do whatever the hell you want. Going against conventions is always fun.

wait you live in New York? And San Francisco? Thought you said you lived in LA.

blast from the past.... pretty sure we were talking about LA and how overrated the fashion scene was... and what was going on here.... but I don't really care. People look like **** everywhere. And there is some awful fashion in LA, where everybody looks like they're wearing the same uniform. You mentioned the 5-panel hat, I think... yeah, that hit LA. There's also cool stuff, where people really don't give a **** and cultivate some unique looks.

naw the conversation then went on to gentrification. If you look early on I repeatedly mentioned and asked you what LA was like, as you would know better than I. Let me bump:

Just calling it as I saw it. Don't need to get so defensive. You can't tell me you don't see millions of 5-panel hats, New Balances, Supreme backpacks, button-downs with pineapples, etc. Obviously I'm generalizing, which is why it'd be cool to hear you describe some of the different scenes of LA for us who don't live there.

I think I spent one day, of fourteen, in Melrose. One of my friends has lived there for years, so he showed me around a ton of places-- so it's unfair to characterize my opinion as that of a person who 'trolls through Melrose'.

But sure, of course there is only so much I can see without living there. I respect your opinion, and I find your 'body' identity an interesting one (albeit one that doesn't resonate with, or interest me)..

What fair city do you live in?

haha thanks and that's fair. It took some getting used to wearing bluchers casually but I do it a lot these days. I like their versatility with the exception of wearing them with a T-shirt. The aesthetic just doesn't work.

Here's some better pics from around the web of the Alden's to give you better idea of how they look.
