Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

[BreezyBirch]



Yeah the one im looking at is 61. I get 59 when I measure which I guess would probably fit fine though after seeing your post (l=60). Nonnative laborer in rabbit which looks like a felted wool so I figured it would shrink. I always thought nonnatives were letter sized though.

if you check the sizing link on coverchord, there should be a corresponding cm size to the number size

also, i have shrunk a hat significantly by dipping it in just boiled water. is kapital boro hat and still the top is a bit wonky. really risky i think and wouldn't bother getting a hat you know is too large...

I kinda like this space suit crew neck thing. Haven't EG or some other brands done something like this before?

Nonnative actually did last year or the year before.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Tim Coopens, Isaora, Wang have all done things like that. I know there are others too.

EG's was a vest, from what I remember.

Our Legacy have also had a "sweatshirt" similar to those for a few seasons

anyone got leads on flared jeans for men, not quite bell bottom status, slim with some stretch? like the uniqlo slim tapered up top but you know not tapered

levis standard bootcut jeans are gross frat status

preferably somewhere with a good return policy or a physical store in LA in case this experiment is a horrible misdeed

devoa

h. lorenzo carries it.

Devoa, as Nahneun said, or if you want more "standard" jeans try RRL : http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11750064

They do a "slim bootcut" in a variety of washes - if you check SF's Buy and Sell you may be able to find some for much cheaper than retail.

Pretty excited to start interning at NMWA today

I love your optimism. Did you ask what happened to the last intern? Last I heard, he was living in the basement of Men's Warehouse, living in a tent constructed of poly-blend suits. That's why you always hear crying whenever you walk into that store.

Maybe you were looking for this, @coolron ?

Does SF have something like this? Would be golden. Especially if we have some people trolling

How loyal are y'all to good retailers? At what $$$ amount will you simply choose the cheaper option regardless of how good the customer service is? I've got a couple fantastic local stores with staff that (I believe) tolerate my presence pretty well and (maybe) enjoy hanging out and talking clothes with me. I try to buy at these stores whenever possible, but sometimes the difference is $200-300 vs. ordering across the country from another store (with good customer service) or $300-400 vs. ordering from an EU store that doesn't care about anything except whether I've paid them, doesn't answer e-mails, and forgets my orders. Those aren't insubstantial sums of money, and these are businesses, not charities. I feel bad "windowshopping" local stores, and if it's less than $100 difference, it's a no-brainer, but with higher-ticket items.. the price adds up.

On a side note, I wish Hide-M stocked Layer-0

I'd say about $250 on a item priced in the $1-1.5K range. That's based on recent experience. However, if a localish retailer is selling something for $300-$400, and the overseas retail is $170 or so... c'mon, I'm not that loyal. I won't showroom though. I'll simply buy the product from overseas.

On other note, I wish that Guidi would deliver my MTO Guidi 017s (reverse horse, that off white color) to Hide-M already.
