i'm 5'10 and my 30w is not EXACTLY on my knees so you might be pushing it. The blowouts are however large enough for no one to notice unlike the newer knee rips for example. A lot of people with those look like shin rips.


Any pictures of you with them on? My size is a 28, so maybe that will help a little.

Has anyone else noticed that on the YSL official Twitter account all Saint Laurent clothing credits now state Saint Laurent By Hedi Slimane whereas before it simply was credited as Saint Laurent. All these credit changes are post men's Palladium show.

it was originally this way. press went nuts, and wrote about it at the time of him showing up. search for news articles about it.

Anyone on the shorter side have any experience with the aw13 knee blowouts? Have an opportunity to purchase a pair, but not sure if they will look weird since I'm only 5'6.

I'm 5'6 almost 5'7 and I've bought a pair of knee blowouts before

definitely below the knee and I didn't mind in the beginning but eventually I decided that it doesn't look good at all

I feel like it makes me look shorter and I've stayed away from any kind of blownout jeans from slp since then

p.s. I wear size 26 in slp jeans so you can imagine them to be shin rips for you like someone said above

hell, i'm 6' and the knee blowouts never line up. i think they're best avoided unless by some miracle they actually line up, makes you look short and fat at the same time when they hit below the knee, double bonus.

The grey suede cropped jodhpurs look mighty nice. May have to order to give them a try.

i don't really feel any of the new cropped boots this season. western buckle ones are stupid, and the cropped chelseas are atrocious. the only decent ones are the grey. i don't get the logic behind any of the models this season.

Quite a few overseas webshops used to/still do that to minimize fraud. I haven't ordered from Matches in about a year though, so not sure when they started implementing this policy.

I don't know, I never had any site that required a license, passport or any of the sort when purchasing clothes online.

. These only came out FW2014 I believe, someone correct me if I am wrong:


I've been keeping an eye out for a pair for a while. The only thing I dislike is how high the strap is, I've owned a pair of the SS16 30mms and the slightly lower strap is perfect.
