I saw photo of Hedi wearing stainless steel sport watch with his L17 so it is Hedi-approved for casual outfits.

its been so long since I've seen these shots.. how times have changed, he looks dumpy wearing those baggy rags.

Are there even any good alternatives to the L17 or L01 (eu based) that aren't 3k euros? Really want one, but since im still dropping weight theres no point spending that amount of money

I'm sure I;ll get slated for this - but Sandro often have leather jackets very similar in aesthetic to SLP that are only around 800e, and their quality is great. They even go on sale too, often for around 450e.

lose weight, buy the L17, don't settle for anything else. do you know how diminuitive the zipper hardware on any other brand looks when compared to that of an L01/L17?

in my experience i wouldn't bridge the gap/settle cos i know i'd always yearn for what i originally wanted - plus what better way to motivate yourself to lose weight, can treat yourself after

@ohyehhh Looks sick! what size is that then a 48? Deets on the L17 too? Calf/Lamb? Season?

ss16, size 48. lamb (mutton?) leather.

i had originally tried a size 50 in selfridges which fitted well but you could tell from the back there was a lot loose fabric. i thought that was 'good enough' and i was on the cusp of buying until i tried a 48 in sloane st which fitted like a glove. the reason i'm pointing that out is cos i almost went for 50 on the basis of it fitting well everywhere else but i'm glad i went out of my way to try the next size down even though i thought i wouldn't be able to fit.

btw, refer back to neonrider's post/review with pictures here, which me 90% convinced me to take the plunge haha:

@ohyehhh congrats man looks great. I hope to you your red 01 back in rotation as well!

@cyc wid it killing it!! Agreed on the watch with the teddy..looks great

 

[thorns]

This is one of my favourite Hedi fits. Subtle, with some jewelry peaking out in his left wrist.

@ohyehhh so good man. love the short tee showing off the belt. I might copy this totally for dinner tonight haha. SS16 L17 is something special, the aged mutton makes it tougher and durable, but still has that oily look of luxury lambskin.

and i'm with you on not settling. it just makes the inevitable SLP purchase more expensive.

Thorns I agree. The 3 button blazer he is wearing is one of my favourite cuts actually (second only to the more classic 69 cm 2 button notch lapel). They haven't been back for a while though, and I think they made it to outlets, so I doubt they'll ever be reissued now.

All about the Geller tee though

 

[cptspaulding666]

Wonder if I'd be able to fit in a Size 32 or if they'd be **** too tight. Size 34 pictured here, very generous amount of room in the waist .
