FOR SALE: Kaws Original Fake Goretex Mountain Jacket Sz4

Grab this one while you can, because I'm on the verge of delisting it. Just a look at those pictures makes me want it all over again and seeing as it's already sitting in my wardrobe I'm beginning to wonder if I did the right thing putting it on the Bay.

It looks the absolute nuts on, nice vibrant blue, faultlessly made, properly nice details like the chomper zip and the zip pulls. And on top of that there's only a handful of them around.

Cost an absolute fortune when it was released.

See, I'm talking myself into keeping it as I write.

The price is £460 to you.

For sale: Nike Gucci RESN Dunk UK9

I've got those Nike Gucci Dunk RESN on Ebay now. The first pair of trainders I've sold on without wearing them at least once.

I had planned to stach them away for a couple of years to give them a decent vintage. But I just can't do it. Before long I would have cracked that box open and been bouncing off down the street.

So they had to go. Out of sight, out of mind.

For sale: Rapha top to toe

Here's a little something for all the cycling heads - the first batch of Rapha to go up for sale. Most of it is new, if not it's indicated. All available via the clickthroughs.

Fixed shirt, brown, with yellow detail
Nicely fitted in a supersoft sports cotton, and perfect for the forthcoming spring. It will arrive, you know.

Windproof gilet, white size XXL
Just right for the April showers, you get wind resistance and showerproofing to boot, Small enough to roll up and slip into a pocket.

Windproof gilet, black, size XL
See above, but in white

Merino base layer L
You wouldn't think these made any difference until you wear them. They give you that extra layer of warmth in winter and act as a wick to get rid of that excess moisture in summer. Essential.

Fixed pocket tee XL
Great looking for the pub as well as on the bike, in a soft sports cotton, and inclusive of a little pocket at the back for your fags, or whatever.

Fixed merino jersey XL
Supersoft jersey as part of Rapha's fixed collection, which is smart as hell as well as giving you a bit of warmth and a couple of storage pockets on the back.

Leg warmers
Just what you need for those inclement spring rides which start off a bit parky but leave you feeling like you're boiling in the bag. With these, you can get them off for a bit of air without having to get of the bike, or crucially without exposing anything too shocking.

Pro team socks
Like socks, but better. Nice lightweight cotton for milder weather, reinforced bit for added comfort, and a logo under your foot.

Arm warmers
An additional item to go in that cycle strip tease armoury, these are the king of garment I thought I would never wear but which come in quite handy quite a bit. I never needed three pairs though, so one is going.

ALL THESE ITEMS ARE NOW SOLD

For sale: Say no to Ebay




More for sale

Ebay rinses you. I see that total for my items and my heart gives a little jump and I think the world's OK, and then I get this bill from Ebay because they now charge about 15 per cent for the use of their site, which by all accounts is daylight robbery. Is there another more reasonable auction site? No, so Ebay has the monopoly.

Well this time they won't fleece me dry, because I'm selling these here, on this blog. And on Hypebeast.

First up, Acronym EJ-3 in black Epic cotton, size L. Very good condition, worn regularly but well looked after. Nothing nasty like rips, stains or tears. There is a very slight rubbing to right collar where I have worn the collar up. Barely noticeable.

Measurements:
21" Armpit to armpit
26" collar to hem
23.5" Armpit to cuff
18" shoulders

SOLD

Bape x Kaws Baby milo full zip hoodie, L black. Worn quite a bit, washed a few times, minimal fading, free from rips tears and stains.

Measurements:
21.5" Armpit to armpit
27" collar to hem
19" Armpit to cuff

£55 shipped.

Use the contact button on the navbar to get in touch.

For sale: More bargains to be had

More stuff up for sale:

Rapha tweed cap: Always seemed too nice to wear to be honest, so it's just sat in the drawer. Excllent condition, perfect for those dandy cyclists. 9/10

Rapha Fixed jersey: Too tight on me really, and now I've moved along the road of the road jersey, this hasn't had much of a look in. 8/10

Vivienne Westwood brown scarf: Wool, with brand name embroidered subtly down one side. Worn a bit but average bobbling. Nice little accessory, and not too heavy so it can be worn into spring.

Moschino wool / silk scarf, purple and green: I always liked the shades of the colours, and the fact that it gave the impression that you had two scarves on.
This has been superceded so it's off.

Marc Jacobs x Vans SK8 HI UK 9: The thing about Vans is that I'm between sizes with them. The 8.5 is too small and the 9 is too big, so these didn't get a lot of wear.

Stussy melt logo cap, black, one size: Lovely cap, rarely wore it. Still has rthe hologram on the underneath of the peak.

Supreme Being camo cap: Again this didn't get much wear. Lovely fit, too.

Supreme Being navy cap: Nice bit of embroidery on the front, but it was never worn. Bargain.

Burton Analog flat wool cap black: I had this idea a couple of years ago that flat caps were the way forward. And for some people they are - they have that smart yet relaxed edge to them. Unfortunately I couldn't get the idea of Dick van Dyke out of my mind.

ALL NOW SOLD

Shop: The bargain bucket

I'm having a clear out of some storage boxes and there are all these clothes I forgot I owned. So I'm thinking if I've gone so long without wearing them that I'd forgotten I owned them, then someone else could probably make better use of them.

So here's the bargain bucket. Don't expect anything spectacular - a lot of this stuff was collected along the way, as it were, and no longer figures in my wardrobe.

But it's all decent quality and in wearable condition.

Auctions end on January 27.

Levi's Red Billy Bob jeans vintage wide leg

These are about as far from skinny as you can get without going full on flared. They have that worn a million times wash. I didn't but I did wear them enough to scuff the backs up.

MHI hooded parka, M Black

This has seen better days, but MHI and Maharishi always looks a bit worn in when you first buy it anyway. Nothing nasty in terms of wear, just a bit of general fading.

Bathing Ape L/S top

Why did I even buy this? It's orange for god's sake. With ginger hair it made me look like I should have been working at Charlie's Chocolate Factory. On the plus side, it's barely been worn.

John Smedley Merino wool sweater L

Here's another one that didn't get much wear. It seemed like a good idea but it always felt a bit bold, to be honest. Lovely colours though, and perfect if you like a stripe in your outfit.

D&G wide legged jeans

Now these have done some time. Back in the day (about a decade ago) these never left my legs. Which is probably why I chose to hang on to them for all these years. Again, these are the perfect antidote to skinny.

William Hunt cashmere cardigan, gold L

I love a bit of cashmere, and with the cotton to give it the wearability this is almost cardie perfection, I wouldn't be offloading it if it didn't fit me. I'm also listing a chocolate brown one. Same reason applies.

Nicole Farhi SS summer shirt, salmon

Lovely quality, lovely shirt, again the wrog colour for me. I go through life thinking I can wear any shade, but some things just don't suit. Salmon is one of them. Someone's going to be rocking this all summer.

Penguin striped polo shirt M

Bit of a vintage prep look going on with this, As I was listing it I was wondering if I could work it into any of the outfits I wear now. I probably could, but then again it might sit unworn in a box for another five years, so it's going.

Modern Amusement striped polo shirt M

This is such a good looking polo, and it looks so bad on me it's unbelievable. There's a lesson here for anyone rocking a ginger bonce. Avoid orange and related shades. It's a minefield. Great details on the shirt though.

Shop: Latest items

In with the new out with the not so new, as they say. Got to get rid of a few more favourite pieces for the sake of the personal economy.

My latest items to go are:

Acronym GT J11 Goretex paclite jacket: A trusty rain jacket for a few years now, succeeded by the Original Fake jacket I've been bleating on about of late. A bit worn, washed once so the transfers inside are peeling, but otherwise leak free and still fully seam taped.

Barbour lightweight jacket: Wicked colourway on this piece I got from the flagship store in Florence a few years back. I remember at the time being amazed to find a Belstaff store in Florence. I was totally unaware that the brand had been bought by the Italians and subsequently styled-up. This jacket looks great with anything.

Rapha fixed shorts
: Complete with authentic rip on the left knee inflicted after I was knocked off my bike. You could say they've been pre-disastered but I suppose that's tempting fate. Plenty more life in them yet and because they're made of Schoeller material the only bit you'll get wet through is that knee hole.Rapha merino socks: The best cycling socks you will ever wear. Size large.

For sale: Supreme Damien Hirst Box logo tee

Here it goes then. One momento of a Saturday spent waiting in line, now available on Ebay. As you will know from my previous post, this is the Damien Hirst Supreme tee I waited outside Dover Street Market to secure, only to find I was number 21 in the queue, when 20 tees were available.

This tee therefore is already blessed with good fortune thanks to one of the Brighton lads who bought it for me along with his skateboard, at great personal risk.

So you are looking at more than a Supreme tee touched by the hand of Damien Hirst (actually it probably wasn't. Ever. More likely a tee-shirt printer). This is a tee also glowing with nice karma. Only good things can happen to you when you wear this.

Shame it's too big for me.

Buy it. Size large.
