    The official CELINE thread

    Seems to be the traditional negotiating phase's hyperbole, although as a creative one tends to be peripatetic and thus one wouldn't be surprised if HS moved on to another endeavor.

    I feel like 4k now is low for a leather jacket, how crazy is that?

    Peak of my collection.

    The official CELINE thread

    I like a lot of the new stuff! I could say my usual caveat, except the giant logo, but won't bother! This is basically perfect for me but too close of course to the blouson in brown I purchased last year. It happens to be my best fitting leather.

    ***The Official Dior Homme Thread***

    Yes, I don’t have the suits with me now (traveling), but can almost assure you that they are a touch wider than SLP suiting, 1-2 cms sounds right. SLP feels more constrictive in the shoulders and upper arms.

    ***The Official Dior Homme Thread***

    Interesting. Are you in the States? I see a few fitted models under the tailoring section of the webstore. I can give a quick rundown on the suiting by location that I’ve personally visited: - Midtown Manhattan - best selection, can customize (MTM) fabrics, buttons, etc. But will still be based...

    ***The Official Dior Homme Thread***

    I went TTS, although Dior Homme gives the option for Court or Regular in terms of length and button placement. SLP does not have those two options IME, all regular. The Classic Suit is the Hedi model. It has a more tapered body. The Fitted Suit is a bit of an update from KVA, with a slightly...

    ***The Official Dior Homme Thread***

    I’m quite familiar with them. I was in Paris in 2023 and was checking out the latest suiting. I haven’t checked them out this year though. Any specific questions?

    The official CELINE thread

    I suppose this is an inflection point but could just be some jostling for a higher contract and/or more creative prerogative, although I had the impression he already had carte blanche. I recall the last discussion on Chanel was that it’d make too much sense, and he’s be able to write his own...

    That's some great photography above. I read a little while back about the expansion of the cosmetics market, especially post pandemic and the increased face time via screens.

    Looks great. Perfect fit and very versatile jacket you'll enjoy for years.

    The official CELINE thread

    I believe 44 is the smallest it goes and leather jeans from HS tend to be cut very skinny so you’ll be good. This will future proof you too in case you gain a few pounds ;).

    The official CELINE thread

    Yes, always have those button holes made functional, the surgeon's cuffs. They look cool if they leave the last button closest to the wrist unbuttoned. 50% of the time the tailor will forget though, so may need to prod the SA to give the tailor a reminder.

    The official CELINE thread

    Yes, I always have my jackets taken up a touch from the shoulder, not the sleeve. This preserves the designer's intended flow or cut. If you reduce the length from the bottom of the sleeve it'll throw off the proportions of the buttons and in terms of tapering the sleeve opening I wouldn't worry...

    The official CELINE thread

    DTOB that jacket looks great. What a classic timeless piece. Fit is spot on too. I agree the classic cut is the way to go with Celine and way more forgiving less constrictive than the SLP cut. I always wear my size in Celine but would consider sizing down if they made 42. Not sure though as...

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    Oh yes, it was a perfect fit. They all sort of sit well on me with a slight constriction and excellent drape. I did not find the cut odd in any regards, sleek classic is how I’d describe it. The pads aren’t unusual in any way. In fact, it’s the exact same cut and pads as two other blazers I have...

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    Tight, you’ll feel it. Like you can raise your arms but you wouldn’t want to wear a sweater underneath or do jumping jacks (not sure why that popped into my mind, but it’ll be somewhat restrictive but at least can still dance a bit). :) I remember loving the fabric and cut. Annoyed I went in...

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    Maybe 2019, but was told doesn’t change much at all. I have some experience there as the new blazers fit like the old ones to me.

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    Gorgeous piece. I've tried it. Opted for Dior, not sure why, as SLP does look cooler. I went TTS, 44, it is cut slim, high arm holes, like the old-school jackets. The waist on the trousers is reasonable, but you'll need to have the seat adjusted most likely and some tapering for the pant legs...

    Wow love those white jacnos. They would be perfect!
