Hi folks, visiting from NYC next week and looking for unique shopping, new or vintage.
I like stuff that is workwear and traditional american inspired, also surf and surplus inspired, especially from small and handmade makers that aren't common outside the city. Raw denim, heavy cottons, canvas, waxed fabrics, leather.
Big plus if they have a nice selection of accessories like hats/caps, bags, belts, etc.
I'm also interested in vintage men's lux fashion from the big fashion houses.
Not looking for soft stretchy office wear like Marine Layer/Uniqlo 😀
Stops on my list right now:
Tilted Brim
Self Edge
Darkside Initiative
American Giant
Mission Workshop
Triple Aught Design
Taylor Stitch
No Shop
Aggregate Supply
Sui Generis
Relic Vintage
Wasteland
AB Fits
The SHOPS at 550
Thanks!!!
Was able to pick up the Red 5s at the Stash
I don’t shop for clothes that often but when I do I’d rather try things on in person than guess my size and deal with returns online.
I feel like there’s no good stores downtown anymore for basic clothes. Uniqlo, Gap, and Abercrombie all gone. Never been a fan of anything Macy’s carries and Nordstrom Men’s section outside of shoes is pretty lackluster too.

1B
Case of the Stashed Skeleton
Rare Enchantment
When it enters the battlefield, it creates a 2/1 ‘Suspected Skeleton’ with Menace. To 'solve' the Case, you must control 0 ‘Suspected Skeletons’. Once solved, you can sacrifice the enchantment at sorcery speed for 1B to search your library for any card and put it into your hand.

Hard to evaluate this one. Personally I think it’s interesting how this can turn redundant/useless removal into something useful. However it’s hard to control and nothing like Profane Tutor.
What are y'alls thoughts on Hendon Hooker? Is he worth stashing in a single qb dynasty with Goff going to be the Qb of the Lions for awhile incase he gets hurt. He's only rostered in 54% of leagues, but being the backup in a good offense would mean he could do well if he played.
Hi everyone! I, super excited to visit the city in a couple of weeks. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on places to see/shop. Prices are much cheaper in America than where I come from, so I wanted to get a few things. My interests include books, fountain pens and paraphernalia, and streetwear. I’m also curious if there’s a shop that sells nhl gear. I know that there’s no team there, but lol it’s more likely to find something there than where I live. I really appreciate any feedback you can give me. I def want to spend a day in Chinatown. Also, and personal safety tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
Books: not that many physical bookstores left, but City Lights is always worth a visit, and it's next to Chinatown.
Fountain Pens: I believe Lamy has a store on Market St.
Street Wear: seriously depends on what sort style you're after. :D I'm a bit too old for that market.
Chinatown: I live in Chinatown, and I used to be a tour guide there. So let me know how many hours, how many food stops, what you do and don't eat, and I can probably make an itinerary for you (and price points).
There’s a stationary store in japantown, on the second floor. I believe they sell fountain pens.
For new and used books: Green Apple Books on Clement St.
Shopping- there’s the Westfield mall. You can shop on Fillmore St, Chestnut St. you can look up consignment shops and buy used designer. No idea on the sports gear.
I can find a lot of on raffles for this shoe does anyone have any information on these. The release is soon.
I signed up with STASH through Swagbucks on 8/29/2021. At that time, my bank was incompatible with their system so I submitted an account closure. I never received any compensation from SB as I never went through with the offer.
Fast forward to March 2023 (1 1/2 years later), I discover (very busy and usually ignore <=$5 debits) that they have been charging me shady amounts of $1.00 and $3.00 (half of which have no consistency) and am often charged more than once a month since August of 2021.
I NEVER used the service. I have been going through HELL with them since my first request for a full refund and permanent closure on 3/29/23.
Customer Service Requests (email):
3/29/23 - took two days to receive a response (3/31) and received one refund (request was for 20 debits to be refunded).
4/7/23 - submitted longer request with detailed transaction list in form body, attached Excel spreadsheet and screen shots. NO RESPONSE - as of today, 4/14/23.
4/11/23 - submitted same request again (4/8) with detailed transaction list in form body, attached Excel spreadsheet and screen shots. NO RESPONSE - as of today, 4/14/23.
Customer Service Calls (phone - (800) 205-5164):
4/14 - 6 PM - spoke with a woman (could not understand her name or half of what she said due to her accent). She claimed that she initiated a refund and closed my account. This time, instead of being credited same day (as 3/31) transaction, was told it might credit on 4/18/23. I did not trust the company and specifically requested that I receive an email detailing the credit and account closure.
4/14 - 7 PM - after waiting 45 mins with only an account closure email and no proof a refund being initiated in sight, I called again and spoke with a man (again, thick accent and couldn't understand name). He told me there was no refund initiated and that he would put in a request for it to be reviewed in 24-48 business hours starting on Monday. So... basically, the first woman lied to me. He gave me the impression that he was also full of B.S. as I didn't receive an email stating the facts from him either (I stayed on the phone, and no not in SPAM). Frustrated as hell, I told him I would call back and speak with a manager in the morning (Sat).
Point of all of this - this company is a total SCAM. They're going out of their way to make it difficult for me to be refunded the shady and inconsistent charges that they have been making on my debit card for a year and a half. Giving me ONE refund out of 20 over two weeks ago, and not finalizing my transaction over two weeks later with five separate requests and a mountain a proof.
Issue is still not resolved and I've already spent over THREE HOURS on this nonsense!
Please for the sake of keeping your sanity, realize that this SB deal is too good to be true.
