    • Describes the boots’ unique style: exaggerated, bulbous, and adorned with iced-out straps, comparing them to B.B. Simon belts.
    • Admits to previously dismissing the "classic with a twist" approach but concedes that Second Layer does it right.
    • Fit rundown: Second Layer boots, threadies socks (note: "you're gonna want to size down"), vintage Abercrombie cargoes, CK1 Palace beater, Emporio Armani Our Legacy Workshop crewneck, a bootleg A.Pressa hat, sunglasses by Thistles, Hill City underwear (longer lasting than the brand), and Velo nicotine pouches.

• James’s Fit:

  • Also “new boot goofin’” in a Todd Snyder x CQP hiking boot collab:
    • Gray, hairy suede, sturdy build, and a preference for gray over his usual browns.
    • "It's a nice like nappiness on the suede. That's like the Todd Snyder touch." 05:26

  • Joking about potentially crossing lines by "wearing the cut" or repping a gang patch:

  • Shout-out to the "12 O’Clock Boys" and reminiscing about disruptive dirt-bike crews in NYC.

    • "There is a buzzer system, which I was like, hey, do you implement that or was that left…It’s an active block." 07:04
    • They talk up vintage finds, specifically calling out the curation and the "rack of vintage Levi’s."
    • "The sourcing these guys are capable of—it’s worth the price of admission, which I guess is your dignity, cause you have to hit a buzzer like a vagrant." — Lawrence 08:01

[B]

Boys with today's flip side Only available on www.thrillfits.com.

[A]

Before we get into having dinner with the selfie final boss, she put you to shame. Was insane. Gen Z vs Boomer concert.

[B]

Never taking a selfie in my life.

[A]

Hitting a Marty supreme screening. Let's get into a fit check. Lawrence.

[B]

Okay. I know I said a few weeks ago that motorcycle boots or engineer boots were not for me, but leave it to Second layer to get me do boot goofing on the pod. Yeah. I don't want to use the phrase because it's terrible classics with the twists, but I do. Here we go. But I do love like when people are like, what if anyone was like, what is the value prop of Second Layer? It's like these are things that you know and love. Suits, leathers, boots, whatever. And then just they make them special. And for these it's just like not only is like the shape in the last fucking awesome a little exaggerated, a little bulbous and unlike anything that I currently own. They took the straps and they iced them out. Dude looking like a B.B. simon on my foot.

[A]

BBS on the souls.

[B]

Shout out the homies.

[A]

I think calling it classic with a twist is doing them a disservice. I think that.

[B]

Yeah, that's why.

[A]

Yeah, it's doing them disservice.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I'm not going to say that right. But what Josh and. And family are doing, I don't know, it's very like. Well, first of all, has. Have you ever met a subculture you. You couldn't. Stolen valor.

[B]

There's there, there's some that. Well, I'm not trying to get canceled.

[A]

You're going to get. Gonna get.

[B]

I'll try to get dropped for my agency.

[A]

Gonna be start wearing the cut like the Dead Horses or what was the motorcycle gang in Task.

[B]

Oh, right, the Dark Hearts.

[A]

The Dark Hearts Larry Darkheart wearing.

[B]

Well, won't that get you killed? Like if you were like, yo, I got a vintage Hell's Angels. Like, won't you get murdered?

[A]

You see these boots, bro? Never come in here without wearing your cut ever again. That's Ron Perlman in Sons of Anarchy.

[B]

Yeah. Did you ever hear there's some lore about supreme did a Hell's Angels logo flip many years ago and apparent they were pressed by the Hell's Angels?

[A]

I heard that.

[B]

Yeah, something like. Something like that. Yeah.

[A]

So Larry Dark Arts Schlossman in the motorcycle boots. Chopper on the block. Vroom, vroom, baby. A man does an idol.

[B]

How about you? How about we can shout out the 12 o' clock boys? Remember those guys? The black bikers in Baltimore? That's a great documentary. Throwing on the Rex I saw.

[A]

Relax. I saw a little guy today when I was crossing Essex just yet a. I love. I'll always love it when, like, a dirt bike game goes by and, like, atvs and like, yeah, it's like mad disrupt. As long as it's not, like, early in the. Early in the morning Rough Riders. But I saw a kid literally on Essex. He's going by a little toy atv.

[B]

Like. Like a little. Like a little. Like, he's.

[A]

Want to see it? No. Yeah, yeah. It's literally like a. Like a. Like a little Hot Wheels toy.

[B]

Stop. Drop.

[A]

I'm not dignifying.

[B]

Shut them down. Open up. That is a little. That's a little guy in a little atv. That's cool.

[A]

No, it's actually. It's a big boy on a small atv.

[B]

He didn't look that big to me.

[A]

But you know what? He wasn't wearing motorcycle boots, so not valid, bro. All right, what else. What else are you wearing?

[B]

The socks are threadies. The. Oh, one note on these boots, you're gonna want to size down, folks, for show. The cargoes are vintage Abercrombie and Fitch. The beater is a CK1 palace joint. The crew neck is Emporio Armani, Our legacy workshop. The hat is bootleg. A press a courtesy of Venspace. And yeah, I got some. I've upped my milligrams a little bit. Got the Velos, the. That bodega on. On Rivington. He's got, like, a nice little selection of Velo Plus. So we got those today. Sunglasses are thistles. Underwear is Hill City. Did you see the little mini Hill City comeback on Gap?

[A]

No.

[B]

It's being billed as a collab. Like, Gap times Hill City. And they have, like. I think it's like two pieces of outerwear and then, like, socks, no underwear, which I will say in terms of boxer brief, some of my favorite ever, which is why I've worn them longer than the brand has ever even existed.

[A]

When did he say you go out of business?

[B]

Years ago, probably at this point, like.

[A]

I think it needs to be draws. Maybe. I know what I'm getting for Hanukkah.

[B]

No, well, I'll say. Well, first of all, shout out our friends skims. I'll Say that regardless if it's a boys only or not. I love my skims. They've just held up like a lot of underwear. That's old, right? You. It loses the elasticity in the waist. They'll get holes, they'll stretch, whatever. The Hill City joints have held up longer than the brand itself, but maybe primed for a comeback if gap.com is any indication.

[A]

We shall see. Calvin.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Make it happen.

[B]

What about you, bud?

[A]

Oh, I'm also new boot goofing in the. Hold on, hold on, hold on. A collaboration between our boy, Todd Snyder. The most entertaining dinner guest of all time, apparently.

[B]

Okay. And I'm not telling that story.

[A]

And cqp. I love this great colorway. You know, hiking boots. Got the vibrant fat ankle cuff, the Vibram sole, the D rings mudguard.

[B]

Yes. These are clean, dude.

[A]

Yeah, these are good. Also clean hiking. These normally 42. They sent me a 41. I could have done with the 41 and a half, but I don't know that you have sizes. Yeah, these are good. I just really like. It's a nice like nappiness on the suede.

[B]

Yeah. A little hairy.

[A]

That's like the. The Todd Snyder touch. Because they're regular in Gandins, which are named after a St. Moritz valley.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Which I guess it's like a ski place or something.

[B]

Not just a great dinner guest, but when it comes to the swatches. My man is on it.

[A]

Yeah, I was gonna say. Anyway. Yeah. I like these. I like the color needed. They also made them brown. Like I got so many brown boots and brown shoes. Let me get some gray boys, baby. The socks are Nike Drifties. Look like it looks like. Yeah.

[B]

Presumably.

[A]

Come on. Where you at with a ticket?

[B]

There usually isn't there. And it doesn't say drift on the. The toe.

[A]

Is that word? Yeah.

[B]

Or dry fit. Not drifty.

[A]

Drifty.

[B]

Goshi's lasting legacy.

[A]

No, Gosh's last legacy is swagger jacking you. Or maybe vice versa. I don't know. No, I mean you still get hit up like.

[B]

No, he. We both unfollowed each other on Instagram at some point. Obviously. Most people know him now as one of the many faces of Kith, but he was even calling himself like Larry. He like did a pivot like. I don't know what his actual name is. He's called himself Larry Goshu for a while. Not has nothing. Has nothing to do with me.

[A]

Unlike Coke Larry from I love LA season.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[A]

He's one episode two Episode three We.

[B]

Love We Love all Larry's. Especially. Especially Coke Larry. That was. That was a very.

[A]

Not based on facts at all.

[B]

No, I mean, not. Well, not even remotely based on.

[A]

Absolutely not. None of those images submitted online. The pants are variant, which I saw. I went back into Varsity New York, finally have a propaganda.

[B]

Propaganda.

[A]

It's good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There is a buzzer system, which I was like, hey, do you implement that or was that left? Or he's like, it was left over. Like, the previous tenant was like, you're gonna need this. It's an active block.

[B]

It is extremely active.

[A]

Yeah, but it was good. I didn't. I couldn't buy anything because I was going to concert afterwards. But, like, boy, was I tempted.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, it's vintage Russell zip up hoodies some. I told him, I was like, yo, I need a faded woodland camo thermal long sleeve.

[B]

Yeah, I think we. We give it a little bit of. We give Justin and Varsity New York, the newest outpost from our friends at Varsity la. Some airtime in the afters that's coming up. But we. Like we said, it's just like, there's so much good shit in this area. We've been calling it the Circuit, I believe or something like that. This is. Goes to me, this is shooting right up the top, like, just the. And I need to go back for propaganda myself. But just like the rack of vintage Levi's, like, the. The sourcing that. That these guys are capable of is. It's. It's worth the price of admission, which I guess is your. Your dignity, because you have to hit a buzzer like a vagrant.

[A]

Nah, I mean, he'll welcome anything.

[B]

No, I know, I know.

[A]

I'm just saying I was looking at a leather car coat from this brand Sacrifice, which is like a sacrifice. Yeah. What'd you say? Like that. You know it.

[B]

No, it just sounds like a metal band.

[A]

Oh, no, it's like, where was he? I think he was at Union, New York. Oh, New York skater who apparently did like a. Was helped very instrumental bridging the sacrifice. Yeah, there you go. The New York and Japan streetwear scenes.

[B]

Hell, yeah.

[A]

And he has like a crown logo. I was like, isn't that kind of like the Stussy crown logo? Like the Rolex, which is based on the Rolex with the bent tine or whatever.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that's.

[A]

That looks about right, huh? Oh, you're wearing a Rolex.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So I don't know. It was just like, you go in there, you get a nice little history lesson. Yeah, I put in a Request. I was like, this is what I need. Keep an eye out for that. He's like, lucky for you, I got a shipment of coming up from Asheville, North Carolina. So you might just be in luck, buddy.

[B]

Can you say or allude to. I know you don't want people cider Jack, but, like, what do you need?

[A]

I said a faded camo thermal. Excuse me? Well, gotcha. Because I wanted the stucy one, but it's sold out, and it says stucy on the back, so. Yeah, and I bought one.

[B]

Ebay.

[A]

I bought one on ebay for like 20 bucks. But it is for the neck. Is whoever. Whatever. Whatever the body was on this original owner? Yeah. I mean, just based on, like, how the garment is stretched out and how it arrived. All right. This man has a head the size of three Elon musks, and then a body the width of timoth chalamet.

[B]

You know what they call that? That's a watermelon on a toothpick, my friend.

[A]

That's. His body is shaped like Jeffrey Epstein's.

[B]

A lemon.

[A]

Yeah, but it is, like, so tight. I mean, as thermals are supposed to fit.

[B]

What. What kind of camo?

[A]

It's like a faded woodland, so it's. It's like more brown than green almost. Nice. But it's. It's like how thermals are supposed to fit. It's like very long. It's meant to be like a. An undergarment or long underwear, but I'm like, I can't wear this.

[B]

Maybe you want to look into Supreme, Get a little skeleton on the front. I got one of those. I'm okay.

[A]

Thank you.
