wunderbar Ox
Very cool Ox... would be even sharper if you swapped the brass for some white acrylic buttons. What's the jacket? That's almost Dodgers blue... I've never seen such a vivid shade like that on a blazer. I dig it a lot and it works great with the shirt, tie, chinos and shades! A+
^ the obvious joke would've been to post Surfin' with the Astronauts LP!
I fucking LOVE those 70s converse lo-tops. I bought two pair the same as yours (natural whitee) then another pair in royal blue. Like walking on Diana Dors' billowing arse (60s arse-billow of course, gravity effect rendered the 70s DD arse far less plush-tastic)
Thanks fellas. I appreciate it. The blazer is a vintage Wash'n'Wear. The color is somewhere in between the two images above. It is not navy, but not quite air force blue.
TC and Sidewinder, how is the sizing on the 1970 Chuck Taylors? I have been reading that one should go a half-size down from one's normal Converse size ....
what do you think, size down a half or order my regular Converse size?
rather get it right the first time ......
thanks for any replies
I actually go up Stan cos I like to put my old git plantar fasciitis bit in there on top too...
They do say go half a size down but we rarely get half sizes over here... I'm in a UK11/EUR 45 as this accommodates my fancy FULL insole as opposed to my half one... Not sure 100% how that equates to US sizing in Converse sizing..an 11.5 or 12?
They're a bit wider I think too than the regular ones but deffo a more substantial unit... Anywhere you can try em on first?
