Essential Wardrobe Items
-
My list isn't that dissimilar to Lando's but then these kind of things are wardrobe staples:
Patagonia Torrentshell - keeps me protected from the elements in all but the coldest weather
Strike Gold crewneck sweat
Iron Heart shirting - currently SH-23, SH-38, and SH-43
Plain white or grey Ts
IHB-02
Beatle Busters (21oz)
Uniqlo boxers and melange socks (is everyone else going commando?
)
Red Wing 8106 -
good thread bump,
ihsh 21
666in fact i might buy another 21 before they all go the way of the dinosaurs
-
My mantra for getting ready to go anywhere… jeans, tee and melton. (with pants, socks and boots obvz)
Grab my keys, wallet and phone and i'm out the door.
So aside from the obvious my navy IHW-01 is the one thing I'd say is essential.

Taking it in a slightly different direction, this year I have started to think by category. Like the record nerds in High Fidelity, I like to give headings, and categorise under these headings, selecting my favourite, or most necessary, item under each heading. So I end up with…..
Cap - IHWBC
Jacket - IHD-01od
Coat - IHM-01
Smart(ish) Jacket - IHW-01 (grey)
Shirt (very casual) - IHSH-33
Shirt (going out casual) - IHSH-59
Tee's - IHFT-2012 (indigo), IHFT - 2011 (white)
Jeans - IH-634s
Shoes - Whites Oxfords
Boots - Whites SD
Sneakers - Bathing Ape Skull Sta's (Best sneakers ever!!!)
Pants - Batman, Superman, Justice League
Socks - Uniqlo
Pyjamas - Batman, SupermanLeave me with this kit, and I'm good to go anywhere

Sneakers - Bathing Ape Skull Sta's (Best sneakers ever!!!)Hmmm interesting as i do love those and own a pair from the first run, but as good as a pair of SS Vin? I say not.

Mine are also OG, and they've been on many many travels and adventures with me through three continents, and have never let me down. I bought them from the old Bape store in Osaka 6 years ago, and I have beat the shit out of them more than any other sneakers I have ever owned, nothing that Nike or Adidas have ever shown me can touch them for pure resilience, they are simply great.
What is an SS Vin?

What is an SS Vin?So are yours the pair with the huge tab on the side? As mine are not those but the ones without that feature from their first showing.
SS Vin are what the Ape's homage dear sir
Superstar Vintage -
Mine are the release after the tabbed version, which I think were a Wtaps collab for the MOUT exhibition in 2005/6. I did have a pair of those, in the demi boot variety, but I sold them long ago. Mine are plain, simple black.
I used to SS many years ago, I just found that the Bapes were better consturcted. That is, however, speaking from my own personal experience, so not necessarily correct. Either way, they're a great looking shoe.

Same as mine then only i went for the white. Must have been 'a' or few possibly? bad apple(s) you got as Shelltoes are universally well known for their abilty to soak up punishment and you can't have that if your not well made.

I can go with that HD, I used to have quite a thing for Adidas in my younger days, alway wore Gazelles or Campus

I can't say anything more than the following….
I am working on the most amazing collab jacket with a new partner atm. I am desperate for a sample.....
Summer? Winter?
