Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

My first thought was that this is from the Armoury FW lookbook.

Letiquette made a pair of high waisted APCs that have me considering actually breaking in a pair of raw denim again. I still have a pair of new standards that I broke in back in like 2008 that I can’t wear with any shirt that has to be tucked in due to the crazy low rise. The funniest thing about those jeans is when I bought them after the early aught boot cut years, they felt insanely skin tight slim and by the skinny jean era in 2013 they seemed as big as JNCOs and now they’ve come back around and feel pretty middle of the road (low rise notwithstanding)

levi's (lvc anyways) 605 / 606 models have a ~11" rise , these were the first skinny straight and slim straight jeans , i think they get slept on for some reason but an option if looking for generously-risen slim denim

I'm curious what you consider a crazy low rise. Proportionally you can get away with a low rise on slim/skinny denim.

it could also be fake Jens Lekman lyrics and now I just threw on Night Falls Over Kortedala

I suppose it’s a bit relative as with my impression of how slim jeans look/feel: what felt like “normal” rise 10 years ago feels really low in the current era where higher rises are on trend. I remember when the movie “Her” came out a people thought Joaquin Phoenix’s characters high-rise pants looked ridiculous but now they look like something I would wear.

I still wear my old pairs of APC NS and RRL slim fits (which have an even lower rise I think) but I reach more frequently for Orslow 105s and some vintage 501s nowadays, especially if I think I’m going to try and tuck my shirt

Another one I found Googling something unrelated (Agyesh, Stoffa):

The coat looks like a straighter silhouette, which is more in line with my sports coats, and still seems to work with the pants.

My Ralph chinos are still en route, but this gives me some more ideas. I normally wear my SC's closed, but this might look better if I wear them open. I hope the rise isn't too low though.

You picked up some Ralph chinos?

Still figuring out the straight silhouette myself. It seems the options are either sack suit or suppressed waist in what I've been looking at. Incidentally, I have recently come into possession of one sack-fit and one suppressed-waist sport coat, both of which I have yet to integrate into my wardrobe.

mid-COVID I realized what I wanted was Polo RL chinos in a straight leg fit (what they call "classic") with a full break. I bought a pair on ebay and after evaluation, grabbed a bunch more (either used or new oldstock) in various colors. pretty happy with the fit. here's a photo from last year

Yeah. Someone recommended Ralph Lauren's "Andrew" Chino to me, and it appears to have basically the same silhouette as what we've posted about, including J. Crew's giant chino.

It seems there is a tonne on eBay.

Sack suit should work if you can find it in your size. Your size seems rare in terms of sports coats, but common for overcoats.

I’ve been looking for a pair of “easy” trousers recently and tried on a pair of Gramicci pants. I really liked them, but can’t stand the belt. Can anyone recommend something similar (of equal quality or better, perhaps), but with an elasticated waist? Just wanting to get something casual and comfortable for running errands/going for walks that’s a step up from wearing track pants.

^ I love the belt on the Gramicci pants, because it works! Way more precise than easy pants with a drawstring.

I asked my partner to get me a pair when she's in Paris next month. I gave up on APC a long time ago, but the jeans have always held a special place in my heart.
