There is some room in shoulder area. Would you suggest sizing down or does it look ok for a sweater?
Yeah haha SLP website calls it oversized as most of the sweaters from that season were slim fitting.
Sizing down? Not unless you want a wetsuit looking sweater.

I wouldn't buy that personally. I also have no idea of what you want to achieve, so I can't give you adequate advice

Yeah the Lurex look is not for everyone. Ignoring the design I am looking for a nice comfy fitting wool blend jumper that I can wear with jeans. Dont usually like super tight or too oversized looks. Looking for comfortable and warm.

Maybe it looks better IRL but there's so many better options than SLP if you want a decent quality sweater that has a normal fit.

the sweater itself doesn't have a lurex vibe IMO maybe it's just the photo. the fit looks like its kinda loose but its not loose at the same time, which looks pretty odd. You can always ask the SLP or Celine forum for opinion

Edit: I think you should look for a sweater that has a slimmer fit or silhouette, but doesnt fit like a wet suit

Some tech stuff:

Arc'teryx Aerios mids


1328132


Arc'teryx Palisade pants


1328133




Snow Peak quick adjust belt

1328134


And I picked up a 45 RPM flannel and Sage de Cret easy pants, both from from Grailed. Plus a Rickson's Gibson MA-1 from Yahoo Japan that I immediately resold because unlike other Buzz stuff, it runs kinda big instead of small and I got the wrong size. Plus, it was probably too heavy for LA.

just copped this off grailed.
"worn once" is what seller says so good deal at $300 if true.

“How did you determine this is worn once/NOS/NWOT?” is my favorite (and sometimes most revealing) eBay question.

Been waiting for those Aerios Mids to come out in a proper black. They released them in two shades of navy for some reason last year.

yes, though one was kind of anthracite grey. I almost got that one but once I saw the black was coming I waited a few weeks to grab these.

So this is a cross post of sorts. One of those things that’s just way too iffy and expensive to buy, but have also received a decent amount of eyeball time. I tried on a yellow pair in Las Vegas’s amazing Retro Specs not too long ago. 80s Wings glasses by Bausch & Lomb/Ray Ban. Mint, no prescription, and in the rare hideous cough syrup color I wanted. $1.50 at Goodwill.

Thank you, thrift gods! Here they are in Magnum PI :p
