That is one cool slutty tee. I love the lenght as well as the neck.

They're easily available and very good enough. Fabric kind of sucks and the fit's a bit weird, but they work well for layering.

New jacket! Yay spring!

Thanks! Not pictured is I stole your hair.

Also what's going on is a waxed linen blazer with cropped sleeves, no buttons, no chest pocket, absolutely no structure at all; from Ruins, a small label out of Toronto / Berlin. It's really nice but I can't capture it at all in my phone camera so you'll just have to imagine.

Nice. The jacket reminds me of something Assembly NY would make. I tried to check out Ruins' site, but it looks like they're away "exploring new worlds." I guess that means they're venturing into cookware or real estate.

my wardrobe is slowly turning into all trompe l'oeil

Talking About the Abstraction weird shirt
Talking About the Abstraction printed sweatpants
Balenciaga

Kyle, you're making me want to sell all of my Ervell and wear all Talking About the Abstraction and Cosmic Wonder.

 

[gettoasty]

No don't

Only Kyle can pull off such a cosmic look leaving us wondering and talking about the abstraction.

Last I heard they were developing a new line of ergonomic office accessories.

No but so, about 2 years ago Ruins opened up as a small clothing store in Toronto (where they carried Assembly NY and were the first (& only?) people in Toronto to do so). They also carried a local label called Thomas, who did sort of drapey black androgynous stuff. So then the guy from Thomas got together with the guy from Ruins to do a Ruins house label of "basics" with a bit of a darker twist. So the guy from Thomas bought the space above Ruins to use as his studio and they started making clothes. But then Ruins (the store) shut down to "explore new worlds," but the Ruins label still lives on upstairs just without a real storefront or marketing presence. And actually, I don't know, maybe Ruins (the label) no longer exists and this is from its last season and after this it will just be "Thomas".

But anyway, if you're walking along Queen St West in Toronto just a couple blocks East of Ossington there may ba a little sign on the sidewalk that says "Ruins" and you go up a narrow flight of stairs into a totally white-washed space with a few metal hangers of black clothing and that's Ruins and that's where I got this blazer and it's really great.

 

[Bam!ChairDance]

Nice. Sad it's local only. They need to get in on this globalization thing

 

[Working Stiff]

Well he divides his time between Toronto and Berlin, so that's pretty globalizey. But yeah I don't understand at all how it works as a business.

Love the drifter jacket in that fit

SO GOOD

MOAR !!

congrats, tegs.

fishbones, ghostface - great stuff.

I nominate ghostface for best new regular waywt contributor (maybe you've posted more before?). Great fits with a solid and focused aesthetic I don't think anyone else here pushes atm.

thanks everyone for the thumbs and kind words.

sev-- i can't believe you're selling your grey drifter. if anyone ever comes across one in 46/48 (which fit like 48/50), please let me know!

conceptionist-- thanks man, that's very nice of you to say.

stitches-- the texture on that blue blazer looks really nice.

it was well deserved.

thanks, ghost. it is pretty cool. i wish i knew what it was called. i just call it crepe, no idea if that is right.

 

[fireflygrave]

awesome fit working stiff, you give me hope that the IM blazer I bought that has super cropped sleeves can work

to clarify, i didn't realize the sleeves were cropped when I bought it ...
