My inner button went off when doing some winter sports (lol!) so I guess that's why. Another button went off. But that's the only problem, nothing else, bought 2020.

I'm so sorry to hear about these button issues, we will tell the atelier about it.

My experience with many really good tailors is they often insist that a thread pulled through enough times will hold and they don't need knots to really secure it. "Don't worry, that won't fall off, I've been doing this for 50 years!"

Hi y’all, Im gonna be letting go of my beautiful Le Bonne Facture x Mr. Porter corduroy shirt jacket. It’s a size 52 in a beautiful deep burgundy. Went to put it on only to find I’ve grown a little in the mid section since last year. Sucks because it’s such a beautiful color and the details and corduroy texture are amazing, LBF really killed this one.

I bought it for a holiday party and wore it once before having it dry cleaned and it’s been in my closet since. Attached are the pics from Mr. Porter but I can take some pictures if anyone’s interested - it’s literally minty fresh.

I paid ~$715 before tax but am selling for $400. Could be open to some trades possibly but more looking for cash.

Bit of a longshot but interested in picking up a plum check overshirt in XS (think only shopbop stocked this size)

Is anyone else having issues logging in to their DbF account? The captcha function freezes and does not log me in.

 

[Raspizdyay]

Worked for me just now, but I didn't weirdly didn't have a captcha . Could be a VPN, or maybe your browser that's causing an issue? FWIW, I'm on Chrome version 120.0.6099.63 (Official Build) (64-bit).

For those of you that own the balloon trouser and hiking trouser, which do you prefer? Huge fan of DBF but I’ve somehow haven’t tried their trousers yet.

Got two Balloons and three Hikings. I like both, but I'm skewing towards Balloons, probably because to me they are wearable "right out of the box". I've had to have extensive tailoring on two of my three Hiking Trousers.

Can't go wrong either way, both are great in semi-formal and casual situations. They are are on the high-waisted side (to me), and wider legged, so they're versatile when it comes to footwear choices. And most of the colors are neutrals, so they will complement your tops well. The Hiking Trousers have extra cloth at the waist, so they are more tailorable. I'm wearing my Olive Hiking Trouser with my Rose Cable Knit today! (Please pardon the rumpling.)
