Just to restate the obvious, if you're buying a $400 t-shirt to look punk you certainly could save youself $380 and hit up Etsy for a remake ;) However, punk has it's excesses just like everything else, so do whatever the hell you want, I say. You'll easily spend $200 or more on an authentic vintage band t-shirt if you can even track it down. It's more conservative to hue closely to 1976 ethics than make up your own today, which would technically be more 'punk', anyway. You could just make your own...

Just a note in general, thrifting used to be a viable option in the 70s, 80s, and somewhat in the 90s. Now, however, good luck finding anything you'd be interested in as everything interesting is either faked to look old (mostly imported from Asia) or impossible to find in the right size or $$$$ and won't fit as nicely as SLP :)

Haven't tried some of the other brands mentioned so I need to check those out...

Do the black raw D10 midwaist jeans stretch in the waistband at all? I ordered a 29 since that's my normal SLP size but the high waist makes them pretty damn tight in the waistband. Wondering if they'll break in nicely or I should exchange for a 30?

I wear the same size (29) in the D10 and the D02 for what it's worth. Waist band stretches a little but they should only start snug not tight.

needhelp - i was disappointed, too! If there's a silver lining, perhaps this is another indication that it's more so Hedi's team running menswear and that AV is focused on womenswear, which seems to be doing quite well from a random article or two I read.

On a related note, I receive the look book for womenswear F/W and it's admittedly great. No menswear!

Hello guys! I just got a L01 (lamb) from Mr. Porter and I'm a bit unsure about the fit it's a little tight around the shoulders / armpits and when I comes to zipping it up it's way to thight so can't really have anything other then a t-shirt under but other then that I like it. I am 171cm and 60kg. The jacket is a 44 so I'm considering going up one size to 46 what do you guys think? And will the jacket loosen up (stretch) a little after wear so it wont be so tight at the armhole.

Thanks.

Nice fitting. Generally speaking, lamb will stretch and mold to your body. The bad part is that a lambskin may lose its original shape over time and does not age too well.

Objectivelyappealing - fit is spot on. Don't size up, I don't think most people close their jacket too much. It's meant to be open.

One little nitpick is that the sleeves are a bit long, but some people like that with leathers if you try to channel the RO vibe. Obviously, SLP is meant to be more cropped.
