W+H continuing to dominate my basics game.



from tira's shop. think i could quite happily buy any/all of their pocket squares.

Were those the 43s from rakuten? Such a good deal.

 

[kgfan5]

yep. was hesitant they would be too small but worked out great.

@kgfan5 - what did they go for?

the 1950s cut is standard, pretty relaxed. Tried on the "generation shirt" in black linen today, slimmer cut, the armholes were too high for me.

Around 300$ if I remember correctly, was about to kop when suddenly the 'buy' button disappeared

Couple of purchases for me today: As you may or may not know (RFX45 posted my photo here before I joined) I had purchased the Raf Simmons holographic Space sneakers from Ssense when they came out. Ssense was out of my size 45 so I tried my luck with a 44. When they arrived they had several scuffs that wouldn't come out, one of the tongues had a cut in the fabric, and they were slightly on the small side. I sent them back and have been searching for a replacement pair off and on ever since, and finally found a brand new pair in my size!



I also have been searching for my first pair of boots since the early 2000's when I bought a pair of black and white Timberlands. I have tried on a few pairs from a few different brands and all seemed to hard to put on and take off, or weren't comfortable. Once I put these on I knew they were too perfect to pass up.

Thanks Bill. Thats a good price. Guess it was not meant to be yours. Oh well, something else might come up and you might find yourself lucky. There is a Vaz Rajan Guidi black reverse backzip boot on sufu for $300. If it is to your liking, you might want to jump on those.

I've simultaneously become a double breasted and Paolo Pecora fan, same exact design as the blue cotton but wool/poly blend instead:

I like it

 

[gettoasty]

There's better ones on Yoox...

 

[canstyleace]

yeah sewn button over chest pocket looks kinda silly to me

I looked through every DB on Yoox and there a couple in my dreambox now but they cost three times as much as this discounted Pecora. Design-wise the Pecora's still my favorite and the "cheaper" fabric gives more of SW&D style I'm after . A longer DB might look better on your frame though.

The pocket's sewn shut and I don't intend to use pocket squares with it so doesn't really bother me.
