jensie_gwala pa pm ko. bench fix? ayoko ko na dun, they really cant make or cut the hair style that i want, i get upset afterwards. now i go to tony and guy, i think the minimum they charge for a hair cut is 600, thats what i pay. and the fee depends on the stylist also.

i opted for a personal stylist so i can tell her if i like the cut or criticize the outcome, with bench fix i cant do that. im stuck with the mentality that since your only paying this much, thats means that you dont have the right to complain, but it only goes for the haircut. and also since i dont want to be a difficult customer.

[fighter24]

mysticpaladin:

no b hairstyle mo ngyn?

[clawed_out]

200? That's how much my budget is years ago (tips included) sa kanto kantong david's salon pero ok lang. disente ang gupit nila.

Jensie: No comprende Francais! So, that's the celio you were talking about.

I haven't gone shopping since I moved into a new house. hahah bahay muna.

[JENSIE_G]

abscbn: I might as well share my LONG OVERDUE tips here. Ganto... the very moment you stain your shirt... rush to the sink... rush! rush! tapos itapat mo sa faucet yung part lang na may stain. Don't get your entire shirt wet. Remember this. Tapos gently brush it off with lukewarm and steady water rushing through. Do this gently until it disappears. Then use tissue or towel to dry it off. As simple as that. But I do hope I could demo this to you para mas swak. My friends who are into modelling and fashion taught me this. They have had horror stories of staining their clothes shortly before their fashion shows. Ganto style nila.

clawed_out: There's an option for English sa upper right hand corner of the site. No entiendo pranses tambien. :)

I haven't gone shopping as well... in the strictest sense of the word.

:bonkself:

[izblu]

guys! which salon (and stylist from that salon) can u recommend? i used to go to propaganda for my hair but now that my stylist hasn't come back yet (gigi), i am on the lookout for a nice (even nicer) alternative. I tried studio546 in Shangri-La Plaza, i had extenso there which i would say is ok but the cut i got from their creative director, although ok, did not match what my previous stylist does for my hair. :mecry:

[JENSIE_G]

^^^I just can't think of any salon 'better' than Propaganda.

:D

[mysticpaladin]

fighter24: Pretty much like what your brother has. Except my bangs are shorter so I can either spike it up, or plop it down.

jensie_g: I do. But only if they do a good job at cutting my hair. There are even times when the shampoo girl gets a tip and the stylist doesn't. For Fix, I give P20 max. I still follow the 10% rule. :)

clawed_out: Moi, je comprends français bien. Hahaha. Did you finally move out of your folk's place?

[fighter24]

I honestly don't know. I haven't been to a barber for 6 years. The thing is, if I remember it right, you won't see your sideburns being defined if you get a barber's cut. Hindi kasi kaya ng barbero na nipisan yung buhok mo without using the, uh, machine. A stylist will take portions then snip off. But don't take my word for it. Magpa-stylist ka na lang kasi. One time splurge, but heck, if you get the specific hairstyle you want, won't it be money well spent?


medyo hndi p la tau nagkakaintindihan

yng barber cut na cnasabi ko eh style yun ng buhok yng 3 by 4 ata yun yng gilid *** ang ginugupit....... old na style

pero sa stylist **** ako ngpapagupit...
ang tinatanong ko is kng pde na ba ang hair ko kc hngang batok plng ang hba ng buhok ko so pde n b ipalayer yng ganun?

[mysticpaladin]

^^ Btw, barber's cut is 2x3, Military cut yung 3x4.
Anyway, yeah. I think it'll work.

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Dati I used to be a regular at Hairbytes Salon. Great stylists. Great value for your money. Whatever happened to them?

:wondering:

Ako ewan ko ba. I really don't give tips to barbers, stylists, or shampoo staff members.

My bad.

:bonkself:

[Chase_Meridian]

I've tried some of the most expensive salons: Salon de Tashiro (P2,000+) and Toni & Guy (600+) and in the end I got stuck with Bench Fix (Glorietta 4 - stylist: Toffer Prieto and Festival Supermall - stylist: Glenn). I've been having my haircut there for almost two years now. There was one time though that I sported the typical barber's cut by Bruno's for a change. I don't know if this is just me, but one thing I realized is, whichever salon I go to, I don't really see any big difference in the way they style or cut my hair. Unless I have it dyed, permed or grow it really long , I feel that my hair will only look like different versions of the same look I've had since God knows when. So for me Fix is the most practical choice for a salon since I can get the same look as what Toni & Guy and the other more expensive ones can do to my hair.

[Chase_Meridian]

I usually give a P50 tip to my hairstylist and P20 - P40 for the assistant. Basta the total tip should not go beyond P100. But there was a time when I couldn't tip because I didn't have cash. I often use BPI EPS in my transactions.

[JENSIE_G]

^^^So that makes three of us (mysticpaladin included)... who are loyal FiX customers, huh?

[Chase_Meridian]

Yup! This calls for a Bench FiX EB! Hehehe... :)

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Ako sa G4 and Rob Place branches suki. :)

[se7endust]

my stylist at bench fix glorietta is KC Aninao. Ive been with him for almost 2 years na ata...or more...galing eh. everytime pagupit ako, sbhin ko lang bhala kna. hehehe.

[tableu]

i just had my haircut at fix katipunan and their service really sucks!!! i waited for more than an hour and i had a terrible haircut. only if i had the guts to tell the hairstylist that what he did to my hair was unacceptable. i've been with fix for more than two years now (i go to fix g4 and my hairstylist is toffer prietto) and I'm always satisfied w/ the service my stylist is giving me. i thought every branch of fix can give me the same satisfaction that I'm getting at fix g4.

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Why have your haircut in Katips in the first place? What brought you there?

I've heard horror stories from that branch na.

sang part exactly yung fix g4? how bout there in galeria? ok ba dun?

[CorpSellout]

try profiles at katipunan. i've been going to bong ever since college, he's really good.

[JENSIE_G]

sang part exactly yung fix g4? how bout there in galeria? ok ba dun?

It's right beside the G4 Cinemas.

There's an 'alley' leading to it near Cinema 3.

Okay yung sa Galle. Great stylists.

[izblu]

i used to go to fix g4 before... stylist was kita... ok naman *** stylle nya pero i grew tired of it already.... one thing is for sure, of all the salons i have tried, nothing beats propaganda.... i just wish that my stylist will come back soon...

regarding giving out tips, im kinda surprised about the amount that u give... ako kc more than that e... in propaganda, my tip is equivalent to the haircut rate of the stylist so medyo expensive... anyway, for as long as i'm happy with the result then i woulldnt mind shelling out tips....

il try fix g4 again... who should i look for again? *** best in-house stylist nila.... tnx!

[skuidward]

^^^So that makes three of us (mysticpaladin included)... who are loyal FiX customers, huh?
uy, sali ako dyan. For the past 2 years sa fix lang din ako nagpapagupit, until I changed my hairstyle that is :). Im now sporting the "semi-kalbo" hairdo and Im liking it. Balik barbershop uli ako.

[JENSIE_G]

il try fix g4 again... who should i look for again? *** best in-house stylist nila.... tnx!

Try Amy Salazar.

Sasayawan ka pa while styling you.

:D

[JENSIE_G]

Amy Alvarez pala.


I keep on confusing Salazar with Alvarez.

My bad.

:glee:

[mysticpaladin]

My stylists have always been men (well, 2 queer, 1 straight) just because they know how to deal with my hair better—and god knows my hair isn't the easiest thing to deal with—than the female stylists.

It's right beside the G4 Cinemas.

i think il just try galle, anyway origas area naman ako...thanks!

[fighter24]

ano ba ang HAIR TRIM?

[JENSIE_G]

^^^I think male stylists (straight or bent) are better.

How ever, there was one female stylist who did justice to my hair... Lucy Gomez of Hairbytes and the old BCBG.

[mysticpaladin]

^^ Konti lang ang ibabawas sa buhok mo. Usually, wayward hair, or locally called tikwas, are the only things cut.

[fighter24]

ano tawag sa hair na mahaba ang likod but sa side at front maikli?

[mysticpaladin]

Um. F4 cut? :lol: Just tell your barber that. Or like I've been saying, rip off a page from a magazine where the model has one. I have one, if you want, I'll scan it and send it to you.

[JENSIE_G]

mysticpaladin is correct.

For best results, pictures always help.

Stylists/barbers are great visualizers.

No harm in trying.

[mysticpaladin]

Jensie: Pareho tayo ng hinala dun sa hairstyle na tanong niya. We answered, in the same, "um..." way. :lol:

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Yeah I couldn't think of any other possible answer.

Hindi ba yung sinasabi niyang cut yung sinauna(70s or 80s something) na gupit?

FIX really knows what to do with your hair. Youll just sit down and voila! *okay*

Are you looking for Corduroy, specifically? There aren't any in the Philippines. Most of the blazers here are linen, cotton, and sometimes, wool.

[drmedicine]

I'm also a BEnch fix salon customer... They really know what to do with your hair. 185 for a haircut and it's really reasonable!

[JENSIE_G]

^:up: :up: :up:

[Nerfy]

Are you looking for Corduroy, specifically? There aren't any in the Philippines. Most of the blazers here are linen, cotton, and sometimes, wool.

I just bought a blazer (H&M). Made of linen, its navy blue with white pinstripes. Goes great with almost all casual wear... white, brown, or black shoes, short, long, retro shirts, etc. I personally think it should be a standard in every mens wardrobe... you can dress it up or down accordingly.

Sadly, the reason i bought it is because i left my old one in a hotel room. :(

[clawed_out]

^ Seersuckers (sp?)

Those are good like railroad conductors/ engineers. I have jeans & a hat like that.

That's a summer classic for me.

[JENSIE_G]

^What's H&M again?

[mysticpaladin]

^ Hennes & Mauritz. It's a Swedish retail brand.

[JENSIE_G]

^Thanks dude! My first time to hear that brand.

Anyways, may Adidas outlet na pala sa Rob Place.

Those jackets are to die for.

Too bad no rain to enjoy them. Hanggang office lang, where you feel you're in Siberia.

:D

[digital_potato]

no not corduroy. any material will do. basta something similar to the style to deviate from the regular jackets. :)

i saw a nice jacket in folded and hung. sakto yung fit pero the sleeves are a bit long. pwede naman pa alter yung ganun dibah?

or maybe ill wait for them to release new styles of jackets

[mysticpaladin]

Just have it altered digital_potato. It only costs P150 and you have a perfect jacket.

[JENSIE_G]

I watched BATMAN BEGINS today...





























in my Spider-Man 2 shirt. (I didn't notice...)

:glee:

[digital_potato]

about the jacket being altered, i asked the sales lady kung ok lang ba na ipa alter. sabi nya hindi daw pwede kasi it has some sort of strap on the cuffs. i dont wanna buy it tapos sabhin sa akin ng mananahi na hindi pwede i alter yun :(

People people I need your help and ideas... i will join Speed Dating tmrw.. kaya I need some ideas or tips for tmrw.. specially sa clothing :) i'm a Guy hehehehe

niweyz i'm not into fashion.. basta ako i wear what's comfortable.. simple and practical that's what I am.. walang arte sa katawan..

pero for tmrw i feel kelangan kahit papano kapag andun ako I have to dress to impress din naman.. so what's ur comments and help me kung anong maganda i-wear tmrw... i'm not that macho or lean type guy.. medyo average to medium built ako i'm 22.. semi formal or casual wear ba for such an event is ok?

[mysticpaladin]

Speed Dating? It's friendster, live! Whee!
*ehem*
Anyway, dude, just wear whatever you're most comfortable with. Wow your prospects with your intelligence and wit. :)

Your clothes will be nothing much of an importance if you don't have intelligence & personality to match it.

Good luck.

[skuidward]

wearing what looks presentable for you would be better than going for something that you really don't like on you. And as mysticpaladin and clawed_out said, intelligence and personality are still your best bets for speed dating.

:D

[thebluemystery]

ei thanks people.. :) hopefully maging ok ako there hehe :) and i'm excited for tmrw :)

[JENSIE_G]

Did my usual rounds from Greenbelt 1... to Greenbelt 3... to Landmark... to Glorietta 4 this evening.

Nothing spectacular to buy. Maybe I'm just too tired.

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Saw it for the 2nd time this afternoon.

Ang ganda nga... Looking forward to the sequel... :D

[mysticpaladin]

Batman Begins 2? Well, I don't really mind if it isn't a sequel (besides, it ended with the prelude to Batman...with Joker and all), as long as its Christopher Nolan directing it again.

[JENSIE_G]

:up: I certainly agree... and I even consider Joker to be the best Batman villain of all time.

[Chase_Meridian]

OMG I will have to wait for a couple of weeks to watch Batman Begins! I'm scheduled to watch Mr. & Mrs. Smith this weekend. I can only afford to watch a movie a week due to time constraints.

Hey Jensie, I also do that Greenbelt-Landmark-Glorietta (not necessarily in that order) "pilgrimage" whenever I have the whole day to spare. :) I sometimes include SM, Park Square and Market Market in the itinerary. :) On Sundays, I just hop between Festival Mall and Alabang Town Center. On rare occasions, I go to Greenills and Divisoria. I have only been to Robinson's Galleria, Shangri-La Plaza, SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, SM Manila, SM Southmall, SM Sucat, SM Bicutan, and Robinson's Place Ermita at least once or twice each mall.

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Great, we share the same routine framework then. It's quite stress-relieving to window shop kasi. I'll never get tired of doing that. Besides, I think it's the best way to combat impulsive buying.

What I'm longing to do is pay the Recto underpass a visit. Lots of "pa-sadya" booths there where you could choose and "create" your own jeans with your own personal style from scratch.

[Chase_Meridian]

^^ I agree, window shopping is the best way to combat impulsive buying. It's one way to delay gratification and get some time to think and select the best.

Too bad I don't know how to get to Recto. Is it safe there? I am so into DIY lately. I chanced upon this stall in the newly opened 50th Avenue in Alabang Town Center where they make customized t-shirts. The nice thing about it is that you're not limited to screen prints because the designs are computerized. I know this is old desktop technology but I don't want to hassle myself with all the effort and materials. All I have to think about is the design, on which is something I'm so willing to devote my time.

BTW, is there any store that sells "appliques" or patches? Also, I'm such a klutz at needlework. Is there like a fabric glue available in the market?

[JENSIE_G]

^I haven't been to ATC for like the LOOOOOOOONGEST time. Shucks.

:bonkself:

Wish I could help with the needlework inquiry. But I just can't name any store. Will ask around.

[abscbn]

mysticpaladin i have scoured all the magazine stalls in g4, g3 and even at the festival mall. they dont have the august edition of men's health.

does anybody know how much a tailored long sleeve shirt and pants would cost? recommend any shop?

Looks a little too young for Dolce & Gabbana. I think this more suited for D&G. But whatever. This is what they think will sell, then so be it.

[clawed_out]

No pics mysticpaladin!
The website is slow.

I managed to view one pic & I say, it's wearable.

Now, the question is "is it that affordable"? :glee:

They always have nice stuff.

[JENSIE_G]

http://img214.echo.cx/img214/8213/mensapparel7ud.jpg

[mysticpaladin]

^^ Guess everyone's checking out the site that's why things have been real slow. It's Milan Menswear fashion week, happening at the moment, so puny non-Italians or bigwigs (i.e. Me) will have no means of getting in the show except through these photo sites.

As for price, well, Dolce & Gabbana has been manageable when it comes to their pricepoints, especially with menswear. A suit, complete with jacket, trousers and sometimes a waistcoat, will run you about $1,500. In all designer-isms, that's really reasonable.

Yeah, yeah, with my 3rd World salary, I won't be able to afford that. C'est la vie!

[clawed_out]

I can buy those things but most of the people here wear generic Kmart clothes, so a La Coste shirt from Macy's already wows them. I guess anything beyond that level is too godly for them. (I am so bad. I feel like I'm at a bar talking smack about the people I don't like at work!)


Jensie: I think I know who's the owner of that jeans! Nice poster!

[mysticpaladin]

^ Goodness man. Which part of the United States are you at?? :p Okay, so I'm spoiled by New York and all its excess, but unless you're in a ranch in Tennessee, I'd like to know where you're staying. Hahahaha.

[clawed_out]

I have my suit pants altered a week ago. It costs as much as a pair of gap jeans. that is way too much.

[mysticpaladin]

^ Woah. $50 for alterations? That's a lot man. On a related note: I read a CARGO reader in one of their issues talk about having their suits done in either Europe or Asia, because it'll definitely come out cheaper than in the US. I totally agree to him, especially because, in the case of the PI at least, your dollars will get you a lot.

Jensie: True. They're clearing out Spring/Summer inventory already and making way for Autumn/Winter stuff. Darn. I was checking out AE.com (yeah, I know, quality's off, but hey, they're dirt-cheap), and found nice tees and shirts on clearance. Sayang nga lang, they don't ship to the Philippines and using e2door will kill the savings I would otherwise have gotten.

O, to appease you, Terranova's on a 199-999 everything Sale. Only the branch in Galleria has menswear, though. Tutto Moda and Benetton are both on sale, too.

What do you guys think of Regatta's new image for 2005?

Parang ang kewl sa mata. Pero basing from experience, madaling mag-shrink at mag-fade ang collared shirts nila.

[clawed_out]

Wash it in cold water & less detergent if ever para maiwasan ang pagshrink at bleed ng colors.

I have several shirts that shrunk so bad that my nephew could wear it.

I don't know what Regatta brand is but basing from the name it's on the same genre as Nautica. Bold & full of primary colors. Nice.

mysticpaladin: I didn't know that I have abercrombie kids/adults, hollister/ae/gap/bananarep/express stores two blocks off our house! haha.

How convinient & how silly of me just to discover it this time. I should get around the neighborhood more often.

[JENSIE_G]

Thanks dude! :up:

You are correct in saying Regatta is somewhat "Nautica-ish" in its style... Ganun nga yung concept ng stores nila.

*okay*

[Nerfy]

wow pareho tayo ng experience sa regatta shirts. good designs but quickly shrinks and fades away. :)

[JENSIE_G]

Onga eh. But I hope to see more and more great stuff there.

Wash it in cold water & less detergent if ever para maiwasan ang pagshrink at bleed ng colors.

I have several shirts that shrunk so bad that my nephew could wear it.

I don't know what Regatta brand is but basing from the name it's on the same genre as Nautica. Bold & full of primary colors. Nice.

mysticpaladin: I didn't know that I have abercrombie kids/adults, hollister/ae/gap/bananarep/express stores two blocks off our house! haha.

How convinient & how silly of me just to discover it this time. I should get around the neighborhood more often.
You do? Darn! Hahaha. Now that's near.
And yeah my friend, you should get out more often. Hahaha.

[clawed_out]

I told my friends at work about the sale. It seems like we're wearing the same shirts for a week. I got two shirts for $19. shots! & i have candy.

I wish I could visit NYC soon para mas madaming choices.

[mysticpaladin]

Yeah man. NYC is an excellent place to buy great stuff. Isn't a ticket inexpensive nowadays? Oh, wait, it's summer. People from the west coast are booking tickets to the east coast (i.e. Florida)

[Nerfy]

US people... if theres a Filenes Basement in your area... check it out. ;)

[clawed_out]

^it's mostly on midwest or east coast. I live on the west coast. It's looks like century21? century mall?

mysticpaladin: plane tickets are a tad expensive because it's summer & I don't think it'll go down dramatically because of the soaring price of gasoline.

[mysticpaladin]

^ Hahaha. True. Oh well. Kita na lang tayo dun soon. Hahaha.

bench & human have nice affordable jeans for men. then there's always the classic levis. you can also check out chocolate they carry australian clothing brands like grab that i think makes jeans for men too. i've tried their jeans for women & they were great. hope it works out for you.

polo jeans, kenneth cole & a/x are your other options...

[mysticpaladin]

Chocolate's a great brand—it's just a wee bit overpriced for my budget, thought. The McQueen model fits nicely for most guys.

[skuidward]

^^i was at chocolate's megamall a while ago. I saw this cool polo kaso no budget e. hehe. Tingin na lang muna.

[mysticpaladin]

How much was it?

Maybe it'll be more affordable now. I heard Rustan's is doing an end-of-season sale.

KEEP YOUR COOL WHILE YOU LOOK COOL WITH THE NEW DOCKERS® MINUS 5 COLLECTION

(January 10, 2005) The new Dockers® “Minus 5” apparel collection from Levi Strauss & Co., launched this Spring/Summer 2005, will keep wearers cool even when temperatures rise.

Through the latest innovation in fabric and finish technology, the Dockers® Minus 5 collection not only boasts useful properties of being oil- and water-repellant and wrinkle-resistant, but also keeps wearers up to 5 degrees Fahrenheit cooler. It’s also fast-drying, breathable and durable, and maintains its good looks by staying wrinkle-free and fade-resistant.

“With Dockers® Minus 5, the wearer remains in control even as he takes on the heat. It’s the ultimate attire for every urban situation, wherever the Dockers® consumer may find himself. With Dockers® Minus 5, you’ll always be prepared for challenges, whether it’s taking on the tropical summer heat or remaining confident in every social setting.” said < affiliates to insert local spokesperson >.

This innovation was enabled by the coating of wicking and ionization chemicals on the inside of the fabric, working to dry sweat and evaporate moisture quickly. The result- a comfortable body temperature, ensuring that the Dockers® wearer is always kept dry and feels good.

To communicate this wide range of benefits of Dockers® Minus 5, the new collection will be launched with a print advertising campaign in selected Asian markets. The campaign was developed by Bates, Malaysia and shot in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Three print executions portray a model in a variety of everyday social situations where he’s under pressure but always maintains his cool in Dockers® Minus 5 apparel. Whether in a bar filled with sizzling, beautiful women; as he prepares to impress on the golf course; or even when he’s the consummate host grilling food at a poolside barbeque, nothing will faze him as he remains confidently cool, fresh and in control.

The Dockers® Minus 5 collection comprises tops and bottoms for men, building and complementing the overall Dockers® look.

First introduced in 1986 to fill the void between jeans and dress pants, the Dockers® brand has expanded from a line of men’s khakis to an ensemble brand featuring complete collections of casual pants with complementing tops and accessories. As the leader in casual businesswear, the Dockers® brand continues to update and expand its products so that discerning consumers can wear comfortable but stylish clothes that offer versatility at work and play, while expressing their personal style and confidence.

here's the write up. It's up to you if you buy the 'explanation'. its sounds real stupid - but it looks good! hehe

[mysticpaladin]

The water- and oil-repelling properties, as well as its anti-wrinkle fabric are both logical. Malay ko lang dun sa 5 degrees cooler every time. Sounds too high-tech (and super expensive retail price) to me.

[skuidward]

^^ The minus 5 idea sounds great. Sana nga totoong mas malamig ng konte sa loob ng t-shirt.

[clawed_out]

I've heard that kind of fiber before. Nakalimutan ko lang kung anong klaseng tela yon. nakita ko yata sa today at nbc show yoon.

[faaip_de_oiad]

Guys, medyo nalalabuan ako dun sa Minus 5 concept. If that were true, you are to feel cooler while wearing it as opposed to wearing a simple cotton shirt. I don't think it works that way - or at least I felt it was kind of hot. :lol:

The price was around 3600 - i think most Dockers jackets are worth around that much, right?

Weird, I can't find any pics with the minus 5 thing on it. The "made in china" clothes are not in the Dockers database. tsk.

[skuidward]

^^ Cotton for me still feels warm on the skin on room temperature. Does your jacket has the minus 5 technology already?

About the minus 5 thing, they must've used a different kind of fabric, imbued it with the same breatheable qualities of cotton, and added extras to make it unique.

[faaip_de_oiad]

^ yup, the jacket has minus 5 tech. ;)

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Wala ba ditong cosplay fashion ? :glee:

[renzkie1]

Folded & Hung, the best...

[Kazarareta]

oks ang folded and hung pero depende rin sa season. minsan sobrang unreasonable nung price range eh :D

[skuidward]

faaip: Di ba jackets keep you warm? :D If yours has the minus 5 technology, edi mas lalamig ang feeling mo pag suot mo yung jacket?

[faaip_de_oiad]

^ exactly! as my girlfriend put it, it was an "article purely for aesthetic purposes". :lol:

[JENSIE_G]

faaip: Di ba jackets keep you warm? :D If yours has the minus 5 technology, edi mas lalamig ang feeling mo pag suot mo yung jacket?

Let's face it... lots and lots of people find jackets fashionable without regard to our climate. I, myself, used to be guilty of this. My bestfriend from work is a living example of this.

I believe the Minus 5 technology works for them well.

:)

[auxes]

have u guys seen Minus 5 sold locally? how much?

[XetraDAX]

^ yes. around 3500 (dont remember sorry)

[faaip_de_oiad]

auxes, i posted it earlier. It goes for 3599. Im not sold on the minus 5 technology, it doesn't feel colder - i.e. it's still a relief to take it off after wearing it. lol. I wore it to school (where I sit in the part of the lecture hall nicknamed SIBERIA). :lol:

[Kazarareta]

ugh, that's expensive. I can buy three graphic tees with that price.

[clawed_out]

I've been toying the thought of buying a casual jacket at a Goodwill shop for less than 20$. I still have to find a size & color that'll fit me. I've been to Goodwill (Donations retail shop)the first time & boy, was it an experience.

how much is this cole haan? is it available here in the philippines?

[abscbn]

i really dont understand why people would have to make money out of donated stuff. isnt meant for "goodwill"?

[clawed_out]

golfer_guy: I think it's priced at 90$ (or 180$) but I'm not sure of its availability in the Philippines.

abscbn: I think Goodwill is a nonprofit organization, they're selling previously owned stuff (say a versatile ukay ukay?) plus you can write the things you donated to them off your taxes.

[golfer_guy]

thanks clawed_out! sana available sa Philippines :)

[Kazarareta]

hmm. does anyone buy stuff at celio? ok ba yung fabrics nila? medyo nagdadalawang isip ako bumili kasi ang expensive eh, tapos plains lang.

[JENSIE_G]

^^^I'm a loyal Celio customer. Okay na okay naman. Lalo na their long sleeves. Very very nice. Great value for your money.

I already have the slip ons by vans not by marc jacobs but similar special edition (vault- argyle).

I'm still undecided cause it's not on top of my priorities yet. Maybe a month from now.

Take it from Jensie, Aaron. 50% of Celio's 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter earnings are from Jensie's and his advertising industry colleagues and friends. :lol:

[skuidward]

I saw this sale sign in front of Van Heusen gateway last thursday. Up to 70% off ang prices!

:D

[neutrogena]

OXYGEN / FOLDED & HUNG: If you are after great slim-fitting clothes, this place is for you...

MEMO: Great selection. Great patterns and colors. We have this account and I must say maganda gumawa ng combinations for corporate wear sa selection nila.

Regarding prices, all I can say is you can score a complete wardrobe for less than 1,500T. Basta you have to be good in choosing the right items lang.

sayang lang ang oxygen. one of those brands you don't wanna be caught wearing one. :naughty:

kaya stick with oxygen jeans nalang. hehe :)

[skuidward]

^^ I agree. Masyadong publicized na ni luis manzano ang mga vintage shirts nila. I don't like their fabric either. Manipis.

[JENSIE_G]

mysticpaladin: haha! :)

[emokid]

i want a vans by luellla sweeeeeeeet

[Kazarareta]

ang ganda ng oxygen. pero sayang talaga e. overused brand.

[neutrogena]

oxygen designs are ok since they are more european than american. studying in europe before, i think mas ok yung mga sizes/cut/fit nila because ang small/xs size ng europe cut mas pareho sa medium/large na filipino body size. unlike yung american fit, parang "fubu" lahat. haha. sorry can't describe it anyway better.

however, like bench and penshoppe, di naman sa panlalait or what, you don't wanna be caught wearing one. most especially that i think men are more brand conscious than women.

kaya stick with their jeans nalang. good fit, and no one would know it's oxygen. haha

[Kazarareta]

hahaha, fubu size.

(tsk tsk dapat hindi ako mag-react dun sa fubu thing kasi tita ko yung shirt maker ng fubu. hahaha)

[JENSIE_G]

Bench is definitely masa. Penshoppe has landed into the hands of another creative agency. :wink: And it now seeks to claim a huge, if not total, chunk of the market. Just wait and see. :wink:

[vintage_rhino]

ey, check out these cool shirts: http://www.laspinaclothing.blogspot.com

[clawed_out]

Penshoppe has always been more trendier & hip than Bench. IMO. :lol:

[JENSIE_G]

Wow kewl! :cool:

clawed_out: :up: hehe yep!

[Kazarareta]

I wanna make my own t-shirt brand. haha, wala lang. :D

does anyone go to TONIC sa ortigas? ano mga shirts nila dun?

[obsidian]

Hi, where's Benetton in Glorietta? I thought wala nang available Benetton dito sa Phils. Haven't bought anything Benetton since their graphic fruits and animal shirts around 8 years ago...

^ Woah. $50 for alterations? That's a lot man. On a related note: I read a CARGO reader in one of their issues talk about having their suits done in either Europe or Asia, because it'll definitely come out cheaper than in the US. I totally agree to him, especially because, in the case of the PI at least, your dollars will get you a lot.

Jensie: True. They're clearing out Spring/Summer inventory already and making way for Autumn/Winter stuff. Darn. I was checking out AE.com (yeah, I know, quality's off, but hey, they're dirt-cheap), and found nice tees and shirts on clearance. Sayang nga lang, they don't ship to the Philippines and using e2door will kill the savings I would otherwise have gotten.

O, to appease you, Terranova's on a 199-999 everything Sale. Only the branch in Galleria has menswear, though. Tutto Moda and Benetton are both on sale, too.

[aeneas]

Take it from Jensie, Aaron. 50% of Celio's 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter earnings are from Jensie's and his advertising industry colleagues and friends. :lol:


where do i find a celio store? .. and what is the price range .. lets say .. for a longsleeves and a slacks??

thanks!

[mysticpaladin]

They've closed most of their stores in the country except for the one in SM Megamall.

[mysticpaladin]

I go there rather often, but never bought anything. The prices are too much for a t-shirt. (Granted, they're unique and all. But still, P2,700?)

Jensie, dapat ikaw ang sasagot dito!
There's Celio in Greenbelt 3 and Powerplant Mall.

Typical LS price: P2,500-P3,000
Slacks: About the same as a long-sleeved shirt.

Hi aeneas!

mysticpaladin is correct.

However, you may want to allot 4T-5T since almost every item in a Celio store is irresistible. :cool:

Long sleeves (the best ones) are usually around 2,800-3,600 bucks.

Good luck! :up:

Gusto mo pala gumawa ng sariling Tshirt brand ? Count me in as your fashion designer! Charing! fubu ? Pang mga skwalogs lang yun yung mga trying hard na bishop (bisayang hiphop) at yung iba naman brisaya (British Bisaya)

thanks a bunch... 4T is my usual budget when going shopping... hehehe.... I'm into slim fit longsleeves today...... i'm a bit slim (31 waistline).. so regular fit longsleeves are too baggy for me... do they have slim fit at celio?.... and aside from celio what other stores sell slim fit longsleeves that are suitable for office wear...... i only got one slim fit from Fratello at Landmark... though they don't sell too many.. so what i did was to get some "okay-cool" longsleeves from other stores (like SM) and have them repaired and voila!.. i have a slim fit longsleeves... hehehehe and its not as pricey as Fratello... hehehehehe

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Celio's the best place for slim-fitting long sleeves. Great art direction on their clothes.

For more long sleeves of this kind, try Pierre Cardin c/o Cinderella or Landmark. They have great selections there as well. :up:

[Nerfy]

Pardon my ignorance, but is Celio a local brand?

[JENSIE_G]

^^^French brand. :up:

[Nerfy]

^^ thanks! i was sure i saw its logo somewhere aside from Greenbelt3. now i remember where. :D

[Kazarareta]

celio has a branch at gateway din, pero nasa bottom floor. haha

[JENSIE_G]

Ah okay :)

Try Springfield din. Eto na naman ako promoting these brands.

:bonkself:

[Kazarareta]

how much ang price range sa springfield tsaka saan meron nun?

[skuidward]

^^Parang sa Celio din halos ang price ng clothes sa springfield.

[JENSIE_G]

Kazarareta: sa springfield may makukuha kang kewl shirts (esp. the v-cut ones) for like 1,950 bucks lang. quite pricey pero mahi-hypnotize ka talagang gumastos once andun ka na... hehe! :glee:

skuidward: kinda... yeah... :D

[Nerfy]

I like Springfield. :)

yup.. you can have them repaired... I have mine repaired at a local mananahi lang.... for just 250, she did a wonderful job transforming my common longsleeves to a fab slim fit!.....

[juan_hustler]

Hi! No offense, but Celio didn't impress me, been there a lot of times but never bought anything, kahit gusto ko pero parang napa ka dull ng mga colors.

I'd stick with Springfield, TopMan, U Rustans, and PeopleRPeople

For long sleeve shirts, try TopMan.

[kobe_ryan]

sana meron din ditong CELIO sa BACOLOD...maganda kasi

[kobe_ryan]

sana meron ding CELIO here...ganda kasi...and PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE din...grrhh!

[JENSIE_G]

juan_hustler: no one is offended. to each is his own.

kobe_ryan: yeah i hope brands like celio and people r people could have more and more outlets nationwide.

[Kazarareta]

someone should really import threadless shirts.

[ofngol]

Pardon my ignorance, but is Celio a local brand?

It's French accdg. to Jensie but Ben Chan (of Bench) is the one who brought it here.
Together with the Thai brand Greyhound (cool clothes there!!! check it out.) at Greenbelt4 level2.

[Kazarareta]

greyhound is love.

[mysticpaladin]

Ouais, Celio est un marque française

[kobe_ryan]

yeah CELIO is a FRENCH BRAND..and it was brought here by BEN CHAN

[JENSIE_G]

Anyone knows where Cinemanila shirts are sold?

Festival kicks off next week na eh.

[bAbOi]

mysticpaladin, je ne comprende pas!

[Kazarareta]

hahaha, I want that pepot artista shirt.

[banoi]

ey guys alam niyo ba kung san makakahanap ng nice hooded sweaters? either yung may zipper or slip-on is okay hehe

[JENSIE_G]

banoi: Maraming ganyan sa Marks & Spencer ah. You could also try Lee or Rustan's. :up:

Kazarareta: You've seen Pepot Artista na? I haven't... :( I hope it'll be released in DVD soon. Same goes to the rest of the Cinemalaya winners as well.

[mysticpaladin]

Ah, c'est dommage!

Kazarareta: You've seen Pepot Artista na? I haven't... :( I hope it'll be released in DVD soon. Same goes to the rest of the Cinemalaya winners as well.

yeah! I really loved the movie, plus yung short film na nanalo (which title escapes me now). Galing nung set designer tsaka yung irony ng pepot a.

naaliw ako dun sa shirt. haha

[JENSIE_G]

^^Anong design nung shirt? :)

[Kazarareta]

^^Anong design nung shirt? :)

star lang tsaka yung logo ng movie. simple lang pero astig. store with no name yung gumawa

[JENSIE_G]

I see. Thanks for the info.

:up:

[banoi]

jensie_g: thanks, sorry i haven't had the time to check kasi hehe thanks thought I'll try to check the stores you mentioned

[JENSIE_G]

Pag konti ang selection sa mga na-mention ko above, it'll be wise to check sa SM, Robinson's or Landmark.

:D

[Kazarareta]

quick question lang,

yung mga brands sa PRP 'di ba imported? I checked out vintage vantage kasi, tapos $22 ang average price compared dun sa php550-700 pricing sa PRP so medyo nakakapagtaka lang. Meron bang other branches asides from the states na gumagawa ng shirts na to kaya siya lumalabas na mura?

Tapos, where can I get graphic tees for less than 1 thou, like the ones sold by analogsoul (http://analogsoul.sound.ph) ?

hehe wala lang.

[J i g s]

Vintagevantage.com shirts are different from what PRP is selling. I guess they only copied the name and the idea. That is what most of the local brands do today, copy designs from foreign artists! I even read about this girl Japanese graphic designer whose works were used by Bayo for their kids clothing!

If you wish to purchase online try:
digitalgravel.com
karmaloop.com
threadless.com

guys survey lang, ano pipiliin niyo: suit na branded (read: hugo boss, brioni, etc) pero ill-fitted OR suit na hindi branded pero perfect ang fit at maganda quality ng fabric at ok ang design??

[makeit_good]

always go for MADE-TO-MEASURE...

[Tifosi]

always go for MADE-TO-MEASURE...

Correct, if it looks good then go for it. A guy in a suit made by his suking sastre will look way better than a guy in an ill-fitting branded suit, kahit Boss, Armani, or Zegna pa yan :D

Made my rounds at Podium early this evening.

Lotsa nice "rainy day" stuff at CELIO* sa outlet dun.

:umbrella:

[mysticpaladin]

guys survey lang, ano pipiliin niyo: suit na branded (read: hugo boss, brioni, etc) pero ill-fitted OR suit na hindi branded pero perfect ang fit at maganda quality ng fabric at ok ang design??
I think the question answers for itself already. No matter what, an ill-fitting suit is an ill-fitting suit. It will never flatter any body type, and it won't get mileage even if it bears the "Dolce & Gabbana", "Dior", or "Yves Saint Laurent" label.

I love how the weather has finally cooled down from its fiery heat last summer. :D I can wear "colored" shirts and my jacket again.

[Kazarareta]

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Yup I agree, skuidward! :D

[skuidward]

I went to f&h kanina, sale. Naguubos sila ng stock(there are some shirts that are on display last summer pa.). I was eyeing a shirt and a polo. Sayang nga lang, wala akong pera. :shrug:

[Kazarareta]

Isang credit card lang ang katapat niyan.

[skuidward]

Kazarareta: Meron pang ganung shirts, pero konti na lang. Yung gusto kong bilhin e bago nanaman. :)

mysticpaladin: sana nga swipe-swipe na lang, kaso di pa ako pwede magkaroon ng credit card. Hindi pa ako eligible.

[JENSIE_G]

Nag-Southmall ako kanina to pay my Globe bill.

Kaka-tempt yung Guess and Bench kasi may mga sale sila.

Pero naaaah... Not now... :teehee:

Nagkalat nga pala mga Superman shirts ah. Everywhere in SM.

[Kazarareta]

hmm. yung sale naman ng bench mga pangit e. >_> or IMHO lang. haha.

[mysticpaladin]

Haha. True. Well, I got a couple of nice digs at Topman. Man, even at their by-invitatioin-only sale, dinudumog!

[JENSIE_G]

^^^Jeans lang habol ko pag sale sila. Everything else sucks nga. (referring to Bench)

:teehee:

I recently bought a pair of their slippers na php200, ang bilis mag-stain out nung print. Wala kasi akong mahanap na havaianas kaya pinag-interesan ko. turns out na sayang yung 200. ;_;

[JENSIE_G]

Havaianas?

Try People R People saka Celio.

[Kazarareta]

hindi na ata havaianas yung binebenta sa celio eh.

[joross01]

i went to market market and i bought 4 shirts for 1,000
i bought one sa Sand
two shirts sa tiangge nila (Fashion Market)
and one sa Spoofs Ltd

at ok naman
tip to all: choose a shirt na comfortable kayo and you can carry well, forget the brands and the prices... they can be hidden anyways, unlike *** pagiging uncomfortable nyo at kung di nyo carry...un obvious na obvious

peace out

[Kazarareta]

hmm, sand. ok din sila pero yung ibang shirts ang mahal. :|
