      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, Superman

        Leave me with this kit, and I'm good to go anywhere  🙂

        Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

          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?

                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.

                            What about a nice suit, good people? Occasionally we have to sharp it up.
