Besides slp, anywhere else that sells really solid striped tees that fit the same aestetic?


I'm assuming you're looking for a lower price point? In that case, check out APC. Still good quality, although not on the luxe level. I'm wearing one of their striped sweaters now. Made in Romania. I like the fit. Has held up well over a couple years but I don't wear it much.

as i predicted a while back, most of you are beginning to like the new collection now. i think it's pretty visionary stuff. hell, at least it's interesting and it has a point, unlike most men's fashion these days. some notes.

the proportions on the bikers could be better. they're not nearly as slim and cropped as earlier seasons...they're longer and a little boxy.

the concho jeans are fun, if a little ott. the raw hem jeans have a treatment i still can't quite figure out...waxy in some light, but not in others...but you should note that the proportions on the raw hem jeans are different than the typical slp skinny cut.

the santiag boots are pretty amazing, very severe, well made, sleek, polished.

also, the wyatt cowboy boots are very hard to track down, only barneys ordered the black ones, and ssense and ysl online had the brown ones. it's a shame, because they're amazing boots. they look fantastic with everything, and stack jeans better than the harness boots.

the ykk zippers are annoying. in many cases early season slp stuff is better...my first season wyatt boots are better quality leather, more severe cut, etc. my first season biker jackets are like a whole different animal than what is being made now; they're super cropped, narrow, slim, soft...

i started a little site where i post and review slp stuff, http://modenoire.tumblr.com -- enjoy.


Any input on the raw hem? I ordered a pair In my normal size and it hasn't shipped yet. Are they too big? It looks that way in some pics.

Yes, 15.5 cm skinny! Fit is great as always. Surely people will comment about them, not with Lee Roth since Van Halen aren't so famous in italy, but i hope they will at least catch the rock'n'roll inspiration. About the creepers i found a pair of used black/red ones with leopard print on them and i am not really sure to pull the trigger on them; what would be a good outfit with creepers?

Not sure if the lace-ups fit differently, but I'd say the monk strap creepers could be about a .5 size smaller than tts, mostly because they are narrow in the mid-foot and toe. If you don't have a wide foot, probably not an issue. I have a medium-wide foot and just decided to get my size, a 10.5, and I'll work them in. After one wear, they already feel pretty great. They fit good from back to front right away.

For what to wear them with, you have a lot of options, I think. The green is great because, although it might look a bit crazy by itself, easily blends in once you pair them with other things. You could wear them with black, grey, brown - whatever. I'll personally be wearing them mostly with some black SLP skinny jeans or slim wool trousers. On top, anything goes but I feel like the creepers always look good when you have a bit more volume on top.

For the leopard/red/black ones, I think those are cool, too - I personally would wear them with blk skinny jeans and a white t-shirt, maybe a leather jacket. Or, a dressier jacket, smoking jacket or black jacket, maybe...

You can dress them up or down, either way but I do feel like they mostly beg to be dressed up a little bit.

the creepers all fit the same, like exangel said, big by at least half a size. due to the shape of the toe.
