Dressing Better Vol 2.0

:lol: at Versace ties being very well made.

These "luxury" ties feels like they are made like sunglasses, one factory produces them all and just puts a different label in them.

There are exceptions of course but most of them can be found at Nordstrom Rack or alike store for 70% off, Versace included.

Yup, People (myself included :lol: :smh: ) just buy useless "luxury" crap just because they can. Just admit it instead of making stupid excuses like "the quality is so much better". My Louis Vuitton belt is @#$@ leather compared to the $40 reversible belt I wear to work, but hey, I just bought it just for the @#$@ of it.

Note: Before anyone gets offended, I am not including well made, lesser known leather goods and shoes in my statement

Did you guys know that allen edmonds seconds are really abou t 70 dolls at the rack?
Any models in particular?  I've been in Nordstrom Rack maybe 3-5 times in my life and I don't even think I've ever bought anything but maybe I'd go check it out.  Seems like if there ever was anything good it was gone before I got there, not sure if that's just in NY or what.

I've personally seen their captoes & wingtips there both brown & black not sure of the exact models. Idk if they were as low as $70 think I remember them being $99 could be wrong though. But the rack def gets them in.

you were wrong. they may have some rubber soled pairs for cheap but the more popular models like strands are still $200+ at NR
 
400
 
What would be the point of $200+ if they were at the rack. I'm not totally certain but the ones I've seen def weren't 200+ This is why I wish I saved pics on my phone.

i think some racks are just different. I know dudes in the ny area and westcoast always seem to get good deals at their racks.

over here, stuff is always a few shades below retail, or common sale prices.

I remember when I was still in school you could go to the rack and most nikes (regardless of model) where 39.99-49.99 but now it seems like they pay attention to the models and price accordingly.
 
Every Nordstrom Rack I've been to in the Bay Area has nothing but rubber soled Cole Haans

Yeah, I was wondering about this the other week. I've never conditioned any of my shoes before. Maybe I should look into this. The place where I get my shoes shined is pretty well known for repairing shoes and leather goods.

Know any good leather conditioning products? I like do this sort of stuff myself.
I really like AE cleaner and conditioner.

Check out bnelsonshoes.com

They're in NY and do great work. SF approved.
Seconded. AE stuff is that work.

I'm not sure how big the Thai population is around your area. You can always get the ever so popular Pad Thai or Pad Sa Eww. That's what almost everyone get starting off.

it's called sarcasm. Don't need no damn pity.
I meant that with sincerity. I don't look down on anyone or pity anyone. At the age 28, that would be pretty pathetic of me as my bored/trolling days on NT are over.



i thought you were srs, srs
Likewise. Sarcasm doesn't travel well without tone of voice or in NT's case, emoticons.

I never got this aspect of NT. Why can't the members just break bread, network, and keep the vibe positive?

Let me know how you like it, man. It is pan fried so might have to be your cheat meal :lol:

There's also curry, beef-jerky meats with sticky rice, and spicy dishes. They all derived from their own region of the country. Lots of good deserts too. Fried ice cream is :pimp: if you can try it. It's more or less ice cream in a donut shell.

There's a restaurant in L.A. that's been popular in the recent years that has spicy foods. Folks go there, eat until they cry and take a to go box. It's not as spicy as the homeland though.
