best outfit ever
oh yeah. i forgot about this guy. ok. so maybe its not the best outfit ever but it definitely makes you wonder what this guy was thinking when he left the house. so we have straw cowboy hat, oilers jersey 10 sizes too big layered over an orange colored shirt (bonus points for matching the collared shirt color to the oilers team colors, man-pris, tube socks and counterfeit red reebok high tops. sick. check out the girl behind him. she’s backing what he’s putting out there. her eyes are practically burning holes into his ass. they’re sooo going to hook up behind one of the food shacks.
denim
now i’m not usually the biggest fan of diesel but came across a pair that i really like the other day. the Shazor in the 88z wash. why? super crisp dark indigo denim. dope paisley waistband and pocketbags. some cool embroideries on the inside of button fly and colored tightly surged (eg. fake selvedge) seams on the inside. good times.
bonfire of the brands
so apparently some guy is having a little identity crisis and has decided to reinvent himself, so he is going to have a little bonfire of all his branded stuff. a kind of phoenix rising from the ashes if you will. good publicity stunt but wouldn’t it have been a little more pragmatic to just flog his shit on ebay or even donate it to some homeless shelter so we could get some joy out of seeing some hobo with his shopping cart rocking a nice gucci suit with some prada shades rolling down east hastings. make it a tv show, call it pimp my shopping cart. you could even hire xzibit. his 15 minutes are running out you could probably get him for cheap.
perv hands
highsnobiety has the scoop on the new Married To the Mob collabo with Kaws for this super hot bikini. one of the funnest things i’ve seen kaws do in a while since i’m not a fan of all those toys. i wonder if guys can use them a la cinderella to see if their hands fit there.
i’m not a jock…
…despite the fact that i’m writing about soccer balls here. this is different, cause this time the soccer ball has been transformed into a work of art AND its being auctioned off for charity. a store called Pool in germany has gotten 13 designers to do their take on the soccer ball. heads like maharishi, dsquared2, acne jeans, dries van noten, etc. all up for sale on ebay. my favorite is the alexander mcqueen one though. hot.
nike takes on vans?
apparently nike’s got some slip-ons in the pipeline.

dutil
new shop in gastown that opened up recently. called “dutil”. its a denim only store run by a guy who used to work at richard kidd. its got a great selection of high end denim including the usual hot brands but also some J Brand, Joes, Hudson, Loomstate, Levis but also my new favorite, Konzo. the red chainstitch down the side…so money. now if only i could scrounge up $750+tax for them…
but more important than the brands they carry was their merchandising…H-O-T. they had bales (literally big tied up blocks) of old jeans. they had rolled up old jeans neatly tucked away into racks. original wood floor. you know the instant you look inside that you’re in for denim paradise.
they had their big grand opening party last weekend, lets hope they do well. dutil. 303 W. Cordova, Vancouver, BC.
