interestingly the rip knees that just dropped on ssense (and that are going to be sold out in like a day) are raw and mij, so i guess there are a couple of different versions this year.

i agree, the flannels are pretty much perfect. but they're still pricy for what they are

I wonder why they describe it as High Waist though. Major turnoff but i'm assuming it's really a Mid-Waist?

For those that own both, should I go with the new FW15 red flannel that dropped on ssense or try to find a FW13 red flannel for the same price? @scanner


They're both a bit different, in material and details. I think the new flannel is a little more durable and the material is much more interesting, it's made in Japan vs the older one made in Italy. The lyocell will hold up much more as its a tougher fiber. The FW13 flannel is already iconic though and doesnt have the additional details like western paneling so if you're not a fan of the western panel and can find the FW13 flannel deadstock I would jump on it, but not if it's used.

Are the blue ones easy to find. Trying to see how it will work for me but I don't want to be stuck with it if the fit is off

I guess the SA was incorrect. The Red Nashville shirt with the snaps are back in stock at ysl.com and have started to hit boutiques.

^^ don't think they've restocked them, actually - just odd ones here and there from folks cancelling their pre-orders.

But, yeah - they are a different shirt from the other red flannel.

the nashville shirt fits slimmer and both the fabric and pattern are different. personally i like the oversized ones better, but.

the new ones are cut quite differently from fw13 and like scanner says going to end up being more durable. personally i don't see a huge difference between the patterns though.

Is this men's one? Seems like the same as women's one.
It looks acceptable to me but is the least beautiful among all destroyed.

Cool man.

Yeah i had a size 30 on pre-order but I called them just now to set aside a size 29 and size 30 for me to try on Saturday, along with the new wyatts (may as well try ha), and hopefully they'll be able to get the blue flannel as well so I can see what it's like in the flesh.

I'm thinking flannel + ripped jeans + nut wyatts for September/October :).

I agree the distressing isn't on the fw13 level but I can't justify to myself paying even MORE than £500 for USED fw13 crash/knee blowouts etc... ugh. I'd rather get these brand new for myself.

They look decent on the model here:

so did e


Thought these were D02 but not sure because they are saying a size 31 has a 6.75 hem.

they are D01, did anyone buy this yet??? im thinking of getting a pair, is it better than SS15 one?

SLP blowouts are good but i see a lot of stuff from other brands i think it was fear of god, they over do it and its too big and its ******.
