    11-11 (Eleven Eleven) appreciation thread

    I agree, and it’s one of the reasons I would love a retailer like NMWA who provide great measurements and images to carry them. It’s important to remember that Japan is a significant export market for them, but they do have two very different fits (regular and oversize) within the same alpha...

    Yes. I hoped it was in the works:

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    @DinhoT51 I’d leave it - great quality but it’s an orphaned suit jacket so no market

    11-11 (Eleven Eleven) appreciation thread

    Really pleased to see NMWA picking up 11-11. Here’s a piece from an older season, for a sunny Saturday morning. Cotton / linen blend popover showing the amazing handwoven fabrics 11-11 uses as well as the handsewn accents:

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Talking of in stock fabrics, @luxire when might we expect the additional colours of the linen-cotton canvas please?

    Going to get shot for this, but I think that’s just a bad fit (for him - her outfit looks sharp)

    I generally do a cool hand wash cycle in the machine, and have not experienced any noticeable shrinkage.

    SWD Discussion Thread for Tailoring

    I’d also swap out the buttons so it reads less like an orphaned suit coat. Brass, or light brown, or mother of pearl.

    SWD Discussion Thread for Tailoring

    To my eye that’s too small - in particular the buttoning point on the jacket is too high even though the sleeve length looks OK. It’s an issue with many Italian brands / Italian inspired RTW tailoring, the sleeves are long compared to the body which makes it better to get the right body length...

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    Personally I struggle to see how anything other than C is a legitimate option. The tailor’s response (which might include them offering D) will inform how you react. I’m also not hearing anything which is egregious enough to warrant A. Your scenario suggests it’s just lapel width?

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    I get braces buttons and side adjusters on all my trousers. I’ve found myself wearing braces with suits less in recent years, but mostly because with the casualisation of the workplace a suit is unusual, a tie exceptional, and I suspect braces are a bridge too far…

    They’ve got a sale on right now which is mostly left-over stock. If you wait a week or so they’ll be back up.

    11-11 (Eleven Eleven) appreciation thread

    Aside from the cropped trousers, inseams seem to hover around the 30-31 inch range, although with a higher rise so you can get more out of them. For the items which are essentially made to order, they offer custom inseam - either on the item page or if you mail customer services. I have a...

    11-11 (Eleven Eleven) appreciation thread

    Some more pieces: Knit tees, this time in natural and indigo dye: One of their sweatshirts - third party blank, but natural indigo dyed and with badhani (hand tied thread dye resist) ‘clouds’: More badhani, this time on a very lightweight band collar popover: Something I didn’t...

    11-11 (Eleven Eleven) appreciation thread

    If you mail customer services, they are usually great at sharing measurements. In my experience there are two silhouettes - the regular, and the roomy. Just need to eyeball the item to see which looks more likely…

    11-11 (Eleven Eleven) appreciation thread

    And then something very different - a natural indigo dyed shirt. Showing this both as something more on the formal end of 11-11’s offerings, but also because it showcases some of the stunning handwork: Handsewn buttonholes and pick stitching. I’ve had bespoke shirts with less refined handwork...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    It’s Church’ term for their corrected grain leather - see thread here, but it’s also what they are still using an advertising for their $1300 shoes… https://www.styleforum.net/threads/clarification-on-churchs-binder-leather.347098/

    11-11 (Eleven Eleven) appreciation thread

    I’ve been a fan of 11-11 for a few years now, but not seen their clothes discussed here (or anywhere) much. Following their mention in DWW’s recent ‘Excited to wear’ (https://dieworkwear.com/2024/03/29/excited-to-wear-this-spring-5/) I thought I’d start a thread to show some of the pieces I...
