Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

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.

Nice. Wish I could get some hands on a fw13 version. My opinion is based on what others have discussed, pics and measurements. But my L17 13 is definitely much nicer than the newer calf (16) - so I assumed same thing with the l01 '13

I love the Classic Wyatt 40 Harness Boots. In my affection for them, I'd love to learn more about them.

1. Hedi Slimane created them right? Now that Vacarello is creative director, are the boots presently available the same as the ones Hedi introduced?
I know there are at least 4 different versions of this boot, with the difference so minor that I didn't notice them at first: the shape of the leather piece around the top of the tongue is curved on some models and straight on others, the metal pieces are lighter on some (the ones presently for sale are darker), one without the "Classic" in its name has a very different, even more slender silhouette, etc. And the model numbers are different.
2. When a new designer takes over and the prior designers pieces remain available, does the new designer usually alter their successor's pieces, however slightly, as might be the case with this season's Wyatt?
3. The boots aren't listed as part of SLP's permanent collection (http://www.ysl.com/us/shop-product/men/permanent_section). Does that mean they'll no longer be available in the near future?
4. While there's a user reviews of the shoes, are there any pieces that go in-depth on the shoes? A thinkpiece even. Would love to get into the nerdy details.

Thanks.

Slp or mcq shirt?

 

[TheSneakyTruth]

What you want for an untucked shirt is for the hemline to be flat. Curved hem shirts are designed and cut to be tucked in and remain tucked during movement. Of course this is all a tie-over from classical menswear and traditional tailoring, and there are no hard and fast rules in fashion, but it is something to think about.

If you absolutely had to choose between those 2 shirts, I'd say the McQ looks better untucked. SLP shirt looks major pirate-core being so long and scooped.

 

[SirGrotius]

$15 - $25 and a tailor will take up that hemline. I'd also get some length off the sleeves.

I don't think an almost transparent shirt would be as versatile, and the logo thingy is not helping.

Does anyone have cp Achilles and sl10h? How does sizing compare between the 2? My Achilles are a 42. Thanks!

McQ one fits better

I have both. I wear 43 in Achilles low and 44 sl10h. 43 in wyatts/jodhpurs for reference too.

43 in SL10H and 42 in Common Projects here. 43 or 42.5 in SLP boots.

I checked out some of the new (for me) RTW on the website, some of the pieces are interesting. I may be the only one, but I like the mid-top sneakers in distressed leather...if only they didn't have that insane writing on the sole.

Thanks! That's really interesting on ysl it says to get 0.5 smaller. Was about to get a 42.5

 

[Regg]

I think a 42.5 would be fine too, either way though, so however you want them to fit vs. the CPs

I recently bought an SLP shirt at 70% off and want to compare it with a McQ by Alexander McQueen shirt I also got. They don't have a big price difference between them because of the discount on the SLP.

I love the SLP look, but I'm short and stocky and have ended up before with things that just don't work on my frame, so I'm adding items to my collection very carefully.

My current mission is to find a simple white button-up shirt that I can wear untucked.

Being an SLP fanboy, I WANT to like the SLP shirt more, and it has a thicker, more substantial fabric (The transparent McQ shirt needs an undershirt). But it's longer than all my dress shirts and I don't know if it looks properly "drapey" and natural, or if it's completely stupid and impossible to wear it untucked.

Can I get everyone's opinion on which one I should drop?

if you want a shirt to be untucked, try AMI

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.

Thanks for the response ;D

I tried to ask the SLP customer service on sizing. They said to go TTS with sneakers for the cropped Suede Jodhpurs.

So I guess I'll just go with a size 9.

Time to save up. Almost there.........
