Just picked up the raw edge jeans from ssense and I wanna get the length to fall similar to the runway style with boots on. I need to hem an inch off and wanted to get advice before I started scissoring. How are you guys hemming?

​Aren't the shirts hella long on you if you're 5''6?


I'm 5'6, 120, and I always have to have my SLP shirts taken up a couple inches (as well as sleeves, and usually in an inch along the sides), if that helps.

Teddy should be 42 or 44. If you have muscular shoulders/pecs the 42 might be pushing it, but it'll look better in general since the jacket is a bit large relatively speaking.

No need to be sorry, it feels horrible on me, so I feel the same way haha

Do you think a 54 will be a much better fit than this 52 or is it just a lost cause?


I don't think it looks so bad; but I'd venture it's a lost cause sizing up one if you're hoping to achieve the svelte rocker look. I did a quick google search, but this is pretty representative of what I think the brand has in mind:

700


Obviously, other people wear it differently who aren't 110 pound models, but one gets the idea.

For what it's worth, if I can comfortably zip up my leather jackets, I personally think they're too big. Grotius' pic is how I like them to look.

I actually think the leather looks pretty good for a bigger guy, and I wouldn't size up if I were you. I say keep it.

Need some help. I was wondering is $500 sounds a overpriced for a leather alteration? Sleeve slimmed and body width.
It's a calf. I have a lamb one too, he said since it's lamb it's not as difficult - that one was quoted at $250

Is this guy guaranteed good? I used a guy that reduced sleeve and body length perfectly on a calf stooges for 360 (had to move zippers and such). 500 is high but the key with something as expensive as an L01 is making sure the tailor is top notch. Better to pay more for a good job than pay less and ruin the jacket.
