The Bless Hoodcoat is like one of the classic staples of men's fashion the past 10 years. Simple, clean, practical, looks good on most.
I feel like there's a lot of people holding strong yet really uninformed opinions on this topic (as usual with clothes on here, most of you guys are very sure of yourselves despite not really knowing anything).
We are just messing with Harry, he is used to it, Dudley bullies him everyday, we are trying to make him feel at home this way.
saskskierNo, I don't particularly care for hockey (still go to games with friends and occasionally play on outdoor rinks in winter, but not something I follow).
Poutine is amazing.
I hate that 'being Canadian' means I have to like some of the worst coffee ever made. Brilliant marketing scheme from TH, but it's SO BAD.
Also, were you alive when Tim Horton's actually made fresh donuts in store instead of just reheating frozen ones? Maybe if you were you would appreciate how awful their donuts are now.
Ha yes can't believe people actually got butthurt about the Grandma's Boy reference
J.D.What does this even mean?

I don't care about what's popular or a "staple" in fashion I just think it looks fucking goofy. That's like some skier wearing an expensive Jiberish hoody that some non-skier finds ugly as fuck and saying "ya well you're uninformed about skiing and this has been a staple in the industry for years so you're just uninformed if you knew more you would think this hoody was cool" haha kind of ridiculous.
Thizzle.I don't care about what's popular or a "staple" in fashion I just think it looks fucking goofy.
On what basis though?
I mean this is sort of like dude who has never spent a day in his life on a hill saying skiers look goofy sliding rails or nose butters off the lip look stupid. Yeah you can have your opinion but you don't have the first clue what you're talking about.

This is what I did buy, and it's changed my life

Especially not the second one, that stacked heel reminds me off cheap Italian spongecakes.
Well, the first ones are the most basic boot imaginable, they're flat black leather Margiela side zips. I decided I needed a boot to wear with black jeans that would be clean, good shape, and otherwise completely unremarkable. So I don't know what you can really say about them negatively, they're just not the most exciting thing ever.
Couldn't be much more plain.
Anyway, the brown ones... I guess fair enough, but it always is weird to me when people comment on sole details. Let's face it, unless you're lying on the ground within 5 feet you're not really going to notice. Not to mention, they get dirty basically immediately. Doubt it'll make much difference either way, really.
I know the Margiela ones, friend has them, I just don't like them, they are basic in terms of design but not if you compare it to a standard boot, then the side zipper (not a complaint just an observation: designers have a zipper fetish) and soft leather do make them stand out in a way, they are basic but not ordinary basic. I don't like the shape of the last (then again against my own will I'm having a Santoni 'prince' last revival moment so any comment on lasts from me is now invalid, or more to the point stabbed by pointy realtor's staple shoes) it's really the soft leather part that bothers me, they can look good in an entire outfit but rarely on their own.
With the brown pair it's also the flat sneaker laces, chunky aesthetic I can go by but the laces just seem off.
You can still paint that part black with that sole edge paint stuff that turns everything in a 20m radius pitch black.
Yeah that's also an option I guess, we'll see. The thought on grabbing them was basically "these would look good in a Wings + Horns lookbook". Jeans, sweater, button up of some sort, filson. Basically a less hipsterish hipster uniform. I have a lot of W+H.
The black ones just need to go with black jeans and a shirt and they'll be good. I've needed that for a while, I have some black Miharayasuhiro boots that are a little too rough / grungy to work with clean stuff like Stephan Schneider, and a pair of Yohji boots that are a bit too Yohji in shape to get worn much (I'll probably sell them because I never wear them).

i think i'm in agreement with laurence here. the margielas are nice but i think they could easily look like jackboots if you don't wear them right. personally i prefer a chelsea boot style too but that's just me. not a fan of the second pair at all, to me with the sneaker laces and generally chunky appearance they look pretty cheap. i do agree the soles are alright though.
not trying to hate on your purchase though, just throwing my opinion out. if you can rock them and are happy with them it's all good
Well both are Margiela. But fair enough, we'll see, I do think they'll serve the purpose I'm after. If you look at a Wings + Horns lookbook you'll basically see what I'm going for - they use Red Wings and Danner a lot in those shoots, and these are actually sleek compared to those.
