For the collegiate after academics and in the gym.

I'm angry- They stopped making these.
They've gone trendy.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Gone?

They still have it in Japan.

[Dinerman]

I don't live in Japan.
Oh well- I guess my chucks are just going to have to suffice.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I don't live in Japan?

Why not? What's wrong with you?

What, they don't ship???

I want the wool and leather ones!

[Dinerman]

looks like they don't sell on their website.

Zappos used to have them in my size, but now the only have up to size 8, and I need a 12.

I guess they're just not "trendy enough". PF flyers now has the wood grain and snake skin and all that stuff.

I used to have pair of snake skin sneakers, by a brand called Snakers. Good shoes, but they were real snakeskin, and really old and funky. The PF Flyers just don't have it.

There's a "Contact" link... I'm sure if you emailed them, they'd sell ya a pair in your size... which is my size as well!

I'll have to find out! Because I want a pair of these!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

It can't hurt to try, right?

decided against the derby.
I just bought the second to last pair of ringsides on zappos. the should be here soon. I can't wait!

 

[Dinerman]

they just came!
cool shoes. My only gripe is that the tip of the wingtip digs into my foot when I walk. I'm sure this will clear up once I break them in.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I'm sure this will clear up once I break them in.

Your feet or your shoes?


.

 

[Dinerman]

well- I guess the shoes. I've had the feet for a while you know. The leather on the shoes just needs to soften up a little.

Whatever happened to the professional wardrobe herein promised?

 

[resortes805]

I knew I saved these images for a reason. . . check out these original collegiate slacks that sold on ebay a month or two ago.

I just picked a repro pair from Jorge Avalos and they rock!

 

[CharlieH.]

Those look great!
Are those wide legs or is it just the perspective? What's the fabric?

 

[resortes805]

Yup, the pants legs really are that wide! I'd imagine that this particular pair is made out of wool flannel. I believe that Baron Kurtz has an original pair, perhaps he may like to share some words on them. Here's an old catalog ad for similar pants:

Never thought wide legged trousers would look that good! Thanks for posting the picture.

I love the avatar Charlie... is the operatic whale on youtube?

Trousers look fantastic. I wish The 1930's version of Good news was available on DVD... That is awsome collegiate wear.

 

[Harp]

Geezzz...my college 'wardrobe' largely consisted of sweatshirts,
jeans, and sneakers....
