Christian Chensvold at Ivy Style wrote about Brooks Brothers’ $1,000 slide belt some time ago. The trads were incredulous, but I don’t think that it beats Brooks Brothers’ $1400 rice bowls or $350 chopsticks.

Though, I suppose if you’re eating ramen for a year, just so that you can save up for some nice shoes, you might as well do it in style. Remember that Brooks has their Friends and Family sale twice a year.



WTF. This is retarded. Who thought up this awful idea?

This is getting watched ASAP.

Got an email from a reader named Igor who tells us he called Uniqlo in New York City to order some chinos for himself. The folks in the phone order department told him that as they prepare to open several new stores (in New York), they’ve shut down phone orders. A bummer, certainly… but the good news is that they also told him they’re planning on offering ecommerce as well. They wouldn’t give him a timeline, but word was they were expecting to open their huge US flagship store on 5th Ave in 2011, so, hopefully… soon?

Chicago needs a fucking Uniqlo!!
