The linen officer jacket this season is not only one of the best piece of outerwear that I've seen from Geller, but it's also cut quite roomy. The 52 would probably work for you
Yeah I've got my eye on this but I've already pre-ordered the FW Baracuda jacket so now I just need to decide how many Geller jackets is too many (I'm guessing there is no such thing).

Little Asian lady at the coffee shop asked about the Richard jacket and where to get one for her nephew. "It's super cute!" All I could think of was the Alden thread.

Two questions concerning the black denim:

First, are there any websites that list thigh measurments for each of the three types? And how much do Geller jeans typically stretch?

Secondly, I'm sort of debating between one of the Geller jeans and a pair of the Saint Laurent ones. Is anyone in a position to compare the two brands in terms of quality, durability, etc.? I appreciate your feedback on this.

it'd really depend on which Geller jeans and which Saint Laurent jeans. I only have experience with 5-Pocket Skinny/Type D/RG1 (i.e. skinniest cuts) in Geller and D02's in Saint Laurent, but quality in both brands are pretty hard to beat. I just blew out my Saint Laurent's, and I've worn them consistently for 1.5 years. Geller jeans in general will have looser top block and hem width than Saint Laurent jeans (at least the AW13 Saint Laurent pairs). consequently I think Geller jeans look cooler stacked and slightly slouchy, whereas the D02's look better hemmed and tight. but considering Saint Laurent jeans cost $100-200 more on average than Geller jeans, especially with the new Denim line being a lot more affordable than the older RG jeans, I'd say it's hard to beat Geller jeans in terms of fit and construction.
