Ladies My 6×6 Mercedes Hold 4 in the Back 2 If You’re Fat

New Mercedes-Benz 6×6 G63 AMG:

More info over at Forbes.

The bad thing about the internet is it makes you realize that you need more money, and it finds good ways to quickly get rid of the money you do have. At ~$530,000 USD this isn’t even remotely in my price range, yet I feel as if I can’t optimally operate in operations if I don’t get one. *sigh* haha

The thing about the Mercedes G-Class is that it has always been nice for off road, diesel versions even being used world wide by various militaries.

AAPE by A Bathing Ape x DC Shoes x Payless

Uhhhhh:

haha Payless isn’t actually involved in the collab, but you’d never know it by looking at the shoes. Come on Nigo!… Jeeeze. This is when you know a higher end brand is struggling. They begin to collab with low end brands who focus on pricing and distribution strategies aimed at the masses. Sure millions will be made as the high end brand deviates from its original self, but at what cost? Thought anything BAPE you had was unique? Wait 6 months from now when junior high kids are getting their moms to pick up the AAPE rebranded / low end collab version of everything you own from stores like Zumiez, Payless, Target, and Walmart.

No word on the price of this shoe yet, but I’m sure none of you care anyway. I sure don’t.

M-65 Jacket For Filthy Hippies

I can smell the patchouli and unwashed hair just looking at this picture:

Source – Honeyee

Neighborhood normally makes some solid M-65s, but what the hell is this shit? Did some Vietnam protesting hippy feel like he missed out of the fashion from that war, so he had to customize the jackets with a bunch of feminine looking embroidery and patches to make a statement? Me: “Cool flowers bro.” Hippy: *throws up piece sign* “Wanna buy some weed?”

I’m going to have to pass on this… 3 out of 4 of the arm embellishments look like they would be easily removable, but everything else you’d be stuck with.

￥75,600 ($833 USD) and also available in Navy and Tan over at Neighborhood’s Harajuku dealer.

Woodland Nautical

The mixing of contrasting patterns is SO IN for 2013:

I made up that heading, but believe it anyway just because I said so. On paper, if someone would have described this shirt to me I wouldn’t have had the vision to not laugh them out of the office. Thankfully there are people that do have such vision, because now that I see it, “it just works”. Also available in indigo / grey… damn good looking sweaters:

Japanase brand Habanos is the brains behind this.

￥23,940 ($257 USD) over at The Contemporary Fix.

I really need to make it to Japan someday just to shop and eat sushi. Well maybe not sushi because I hear it’s weird there…

Business Casual Camouflage Button-up

Attire to make them re-write the dress code:

Imagine the look on the CEO’s face when he sees you and realizes that you can not be conformed. Sure, navigating the iceberg filled waters of the corporate dress code isn’t rocket science, but you’ll likely get a raise for being the only one to successfully find a loophole and then exploit it without giving a shit what the consequences would be. That’s upper management material right there as far as I’m concerned. Once you get that corner office just make sure you remember where you came from. If you make objective #1 to “tighten up the dress code” I hope you get demoted to janitor’s assistant where you belong.

¥25,200 ($270 USD) over at Soph.net

Casket Hats Until The Casket Drops

The post title is my new life motto. Pro tip – this is called a casket hat:

Truth be told, although I like tiger stripe and wish I could pull it off, I wouldn’t look good in a hat like that. Old men love hats like that, but most go with tweed. Tiger stripe camo shows the youngins that you’re not afraid to mix things up. The fact it’s Mr. Bathing Ape also gives you some cred when stylish young kids ask you about it, because you can flaunt your mad disposable income… just don’t mix it up / flaunt too hard or you might break a hip.

£270 ($405 USD) from Present.
