Interesting I didn't even think that the lapel may roll back when it's unbuttoned, it's funny the site doesn't give any indication of this. 


If it's Yoox - they button all the jackets, even the 3 roll 2s. The lapels on that one do look skimply but loks fine for casual wear if you don't button the top button.

Aspesi, cotton/linen blend. Pretty sure it can be worn as a 3-roll-2.

Thoughts or opinions, helps if you have seen or handled..........
If this is the one that shows different colors at different angles and is shiny almost to the point of iridescence, it's extremely eye-catching and might not be the most versatile piece of outerwear imo. Isn't this one like 3 years old though? Where'd you find it?

SNS Stark cardigan for $70?
Has been tossed in the dryer and shows effects of wool pilling.

Still worth it?

I have $214 right now, been selling stuff trying to get a TOJ but I'm lost. I found a pair of CP bball highs in white hardly used came up somewhere for $165 shipped and I'm not sure if I should cop or keep saving for a toj. also, I don't know what toj I should get. toj0 2013 in gray with black lamb sleeves and black hardware for$380/charcoal ma-1 for$450/black lamb BCDR with silver zips for $780. I feel like I need a toj or more interesting clothing than I have to wear the bball highs right now. but I don't wanna miss the deal :( already do have a pair of Achilles low vintage, though... help me decide on what to get, SF

That's a damn good deal on some CP's.



I know. ****. I don't wanna knock out that much of what I earned right now since it's hard to make money without a job (although I'm looking, most places won't hire at 17) but I figured I won't be able to find a pair of cps this cheap again

Well you just answered your own question. "I figured I won't be able to find a pair of CP's this cheap again."

So buy them.

ToJ can wait.

From another perspective, you are 17. You are hopefully going to grow more. I'd hold out on an expensive ToJ till college.
