New Fall/Winter Season Releases - 2014/2015

[Grand Potentate]

I saw that Florsheim has released some higher priced offerings into its Imperial line. I'm not sure of sole construction on these, but on looks alone, they could rival Allen Edmonds at this price point. The zip boot seems like it could be a good option as those are hard to find.

Nice! Hope they bring them to Messico!

I was thinking about trying one but the tapered leg seems like it might be a bit much for me.

I never trust the mass produced "athletic cut". I prefer a narrower leg opening. The best pair that I have found w/n budget is RB15
Somet also produce some nice cuts but too expensive for me.

This sounds like it would be right up your alley then. Why not take a flyer on a pair? It's not like you can't return them.

Levi's is cycling out cuts faster than any brand I've ever seen. I liked the 508, now not produced. Now a 522?

It's not like any of their cuts mean anything anyways. 501s get big then slim down.

Apparently, they replaced the 508 with the 541 and added in slightly more ass/leg room, plus the slightly stretchier material, after user feedback came in.

Oh, that's right. The spandex blend jeans. No thanks.

Didn't you link to a Kickstarter not that long ago with some "athletic" type jeans that had stretchy shit in them?

 

[Zé Ferreira]

If I did, I completely disavow it. Not a fan of stretch unless it's females in athletics.

[Zé Ferreira]

AH YES. I have missed that gif.

And I still disavow spandex blends. You can have athletic jeans that aren't made of yogapantmaterial.
