Just copped these off ebay for 770ish

I'm now realizing they could be fake. The seller promised 100% brand new, but people still do gay shit like that

They look pretty real to me. Thoughts?

Also, General <insert>ninja thread. Dick glovens, mad stax and the like.

i own a real pair and i'm pretty positive they're fake by the first pic.

tbh i wouldve went to a trusted community like superfuture for geos since fakes do exist and ebay can be really sketchy.

dont let it slide though ebay might be able to do something about since the description said 100% authentic and they clearly aren't. make sure to screencap the listing article if you can

sure. Buy high contrast black and white printed shirts. Band shirts, tourist shirts, whatever, punk shirts etc. just things that are black with white print or white with black print.

get some black acne jeans and black acne sweats

get some black raf high tops or rick high tops

get like a black rick intarsia or like some kind of leather like a stooges or a drkshdw ma-1 or something

get like a black bag, like a visvim lamina 20l in all black

get a random black fitted hat or a beanie

if OP cant return, he could file a INAD dispute with paypal. paypal almost always side with the buyer without actually checking anything. OP sends shoes back and gets money back.

>non-900 dollar backpack

black muji/black debranded jansport/black silent backpack

>1500 dollar jacket budget

buy used, dont bother with cheap leathers.

you can get a decent rick jacket for like 700-900

if you want to look like that dude in the pic and have it look good, you cant on a really low budget

Are there any brands other than rick for a nice leather jacket?

Tbh I probably wont invest in one for a bit (Maybe next spring, or maybe in the fall). It's really hot right now and i dont got time to smell like BO

That very much depends on what you're after; the look, the fit, the detailing, even the color. I love when Geller does richer colors and textures, I love Rick ones for sleekness and just pure bad-assery, I think Juun J. does cool ones with super modern, super detailed looks.

So, pick a look, pick a budget, and we'll start there.
