Happy Birthday Hedi Slimane

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.

I agree I think it looks good. I'd zip up those sleeve zips though, looks too flared when they are open. Regarding the sleeves being long, I understand the intended look is to be cropped, but if you were actually wearing this to ride you want the sleeves to be long to cover up your wrists while holding the handlebars, so I wouldn't worry to much about that.

I forgot which wool composition for the teddy was superior, 88% vs 80%? I remember one pilled more than the other. Any help? Thanks!

Hey guys! My first post here.

I was looking to get a pair of Cropped Jodhpurs, but I'm not too sure on sizing.
I'll be getting it online, so I won't be able to try them on before I buy them.

How does the sizing usually work on these boots? I know estimating a size is kind of stupid, but that's what I have to resort to
I wear a size
9 in Nikes
9.5 in ultra Boosts
9 in Clarks Desert Boots

^ The jacket posted is perfect in 44, don't get one that you can zip up comfortably. For leather outerwear I'd only ever wear with a t-shirt underneath anyway.

Surprised nobody has mentioned that the sleeves will naturally ride up when creasing at the elbows, so don't go gung-ho on alterations until you've broken it in...

 

[objectivelyappealing]

Thanks for the feedback everyone much appreciated. And I can see now that sleevs looks much better when zipped up.

Speaking of L01s, can anyone comment on quality of whatever is currently available in terms of the classic lamb (not distressed):

i.e. the one available on mrporter currently is:

https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/saint_laurent/leather-biker-jacket/915731

on the ysl website it is the following, with stylecode 397290Y5YA11000:

http://www.ysl.com/gb/shop-product/...le-jacket-in-black-leather_cod40121342no.html

also saw this one on grailed:

https://www.ebay.com/listings/2587821-Saint-Laurent-Paris-L01-lamb-skin-leather-jacket

^ edit: POS forum software is re-writing my grailed link to eBay (lol?) with affiliate links.. niiice. Correct URL is as follows:

https://www.grai.REMOVE_ME.led.com/listings/2587821-Saint-Laurent-Paris-L01-lamb-skin-leather-jacket

which the guys says is from ss13 - from my understanding these are cut tigher/are higher quality but can anyone attest to that?

Basically trying to figure out whether, IF I was going to get the classic black L01 before they start adding cats and **** on to it, whether the difference in quality between seasons is discernible enough to hunt down specific style codes.

(for reference, I got the SS16 L16 in the mutton leather which I'm very very happy with - very happy I got this specific version but maybe with the classic lamb L01 it's a different story).

@ohyehhh

When it comes to Saint Laurent I'm a newbie but as far as I can tell the quality of my L01 is really great. I can post some high def photos later if you want?

 

[Randeep]

That would be helpful, cheers.

I'm also curious to know where you land on the sizing here. I would suggest that you go with 42, based on those comparables.... Do you want leather or suede jodhpurs?

To be honest. As seasons went by from 13' the fit got wider and sleeves got wider as well. I believe it has remained almost the same overall though. But quality in the 2013 is much more full and fitted. I think its best to get from 2013-15. Thats my finding.. But its really the same. 2017 seems the fit has gotten more cropped and slimmer, but the quality of leather isn't as good. Im really not sure, but thats my thought.

FWIW, I wear 10 in Nike and Adidas and am trying to decide between 42.5 and 43 in the suede cropped jodhpurs. 42.5 seems good in length but too narrow in the toebox. 43 seems a little long with maybe too much heel slip but overall more comfortable. Would the 42.5 break in to be comfortable? Would the 43 break in to be clearly too big? I don't know! I wear 43 in the current batch of leather Wyatt boots (after owning and selling 42 and 42.5), but this is my first attempt with suede.

I can attest to the quality of the L01. I was at the Chicago ysl store and tried on the L01 in the newest season. Thought to myself.....it's nice but not worth 5k. So I started looking for deals/discount online. Found a fw13 version L01....my first thought was "yes, this is worth 5k". To me atleast the fitting was more flattering.
