With more snow today it seems ridiculous to buy anything summer related, but it will be 90+ in Chicago before we know it.

I was looking at those T's earlier today but passed cos they seem like they'd be too see-through.
I'd appreciate it if you let me know how they are once you get them.

It's a good thing you quoted the photos again, otherwise we may not know which tees you were referring to.

Yeah, you don't have to quote the whole post, you can spoiler it or just leave one. I have had them for a week or two now, just got around to posting them. They aren't see though at all really. The white is slightly, more translucent of the two 90/10 and the 100% linen are heavier and aren't see-through at all.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm really afraid of buying any of his white tee's, the two I own are almost transparent and it just looks goofy.

How is the fit on T by AW? I'm pretty tall so I need a long but slim shirt (30" length). Is XL alright?

I went ahead and purchased the Acne dip dye sweatshirt will let you guys know how it is. Hopefully XL is not too big.

Barena via Yoox with the current code, it's 100% linen, should be nice for summer:

Nah, an XL is going to fit like a tent. I wear an L and it its still pretty relaxed fit. I would suggest you go with a M.

Tried 3 Sunglasses from different brands (Salt, Super, Oliver Peoples) and now I know that its not the shades that are small, but my head that is gigantic. Good for you Regis, good for you...

I found that finding a pair of glasses that fits (regardless of style), then finding the size of the glasses helps immensely. I found that I need 50-51 mm sunglasses (consequently, my two pairs of OPxNDG-1 that are my back up glasses are 50 mm, and my classic wayfarers are 51 mm that I lucked into when I ordered them from Mr Porter a couple years ago), and now I just look for a frame I like, and then try to find that size. My girlfriend got me a pair of Clubmasters, but they were 48mm so I am going to go to Nordstrom this week some time to exchange them for the 51s.

But once you know the size you need for glasses, you can order and then not be worried about if they're big enough for your head, but instead whether you like how they look on your head!

Cutler & Gross is like Margiela to me, everything I've tried fits (so far). With the exception of the Wrong Size Margiela Wayfarers

Yup, they're pretty huge. Imagine a Rick Tee that has been stretched 50% horizontally.

Pre ordered Schneider Merino. Someone bought that Rick MA1 I was eyeing anyway.
