Back in the day when I was curious about EDC heh heh

Jade Margiela side zips?

Are those ^ the ones that are painted/coated and which will crack when worn to expose the leather underneath?

 

[max_r]

They def look spray painted. Pretty cool color imo.

No, but heavy bias as all of FP's stuff looks bad to me

Anyone have any suggestions for a nice bomber jacket? Specifically, I'm thinking of getting APC's. I noticed that there seem to be two versions, a wool-cotton blend one and nylon one. Would one be better than the other? (They look identical as far as I can tell)

Asymmetric or regular lacing system.

 

[nahneun]

regular. asymmetrical lacing looks bad 99% of the time

 

[arnoldpettibone]

regular. asymmetrical lacing looks bad 99% of the time

ann d sneaks look pretty good imo

How accurate are Zozo's measurements usually? This Remi Relief shirt is so goofy, but going by the measurements I'd want a Small, which has never been the case with any of their other stuff

kinda want to make it work, just not quite sure what's wrong, i do agree they fit awkward. maybe i'm not used to it?

i took another pic, changed the shoes i was wearing

Size down if you're really trying to make it work. The shoulders are sloping more than they're designed to slope and the length looks to be a bit long. Ideally the horizontal torso line should reflect a slim cut, the line flaring out until a point slightly below the waist, then receding back to about the torso line.

i had an acne charles (tried all sizes at the store and they said most people size down one or sometimes two) and i agree with nahneun, the unstructured cut combined with the soft droopy material is pretty unflattering on most people. shoulders look limp, and the excess around the waist flares out. also the material is pretty lightweight so won't actually do much to keep you warm, if that's a consideration.

I think the coat works best on people with a tall, athletic build with somewhat broad shoulders to compensate for the limpness. Additionally, without the broad shoulders, the flaring at the waist is definitely accentuated.

My only qualm about this coat is that, like you said, it won't keep you warm. I don't think this coat works with temperatures under 30 F (with windchill factored in), additional layers needed.

Narrowed down my white sneaker hunt to three choices. All cost around the same in the end. The Buttero's are fairly well known around these parts, the first is from an up and coming Korean brand called Wooyoungmi.

Retail pic here along with price.


I dont mind the branding (I can rub it off pretty easily if I felt like it). Key features include the captoe, one pair of brass eyelets. that its really really white (the whitest shoe I have ever seen in real life), and it is vibram sole'd (will find out if they are resole-able). They are chunkier in real life than the Buttero's, I suspect because they are lined and because they are vibram'ed.

EdIt: All of them are terrible is a reasonable answer.

I've been really digging Wooyoungmi, but between those sneakers, I like the Butteros more.
