I like the first blazer better, but as your first blazer purchase I think number two would be better as you can mix and match it with more things. What about plain navy unstructured? I wear one with denim a lot.

This would probably be kind of stupid, but I already have the matching pants for this jacket and I kinda want to go for the full suit:

Color IRL is a bit more like this picture:

Balenciaga SS11 lightweight quilted gilet, looks awesome but measurements provided by seller look very slim (sz44, chest 42cm!!!). Hoping to find someone who's actually tried this on in-person and can comment on the fit. Seller's measurement could have been taken at the bottom of the armhole though which looks quite low in pics.
@conceptual 4est I somewhat remember you posting about this in the eBay thread at some point, any chance you ever got to try it on in-person?

I remember that one!!!!! So dope, especially if you wear other cool tech stuff. Fits TTS but slim, - that model is probably wearing his correct size. I imagine you would have to be very skinny to wear a size 44...

only thing I am concerned about is the front of the boot in the middle would that fill out and look normal with a foot in it?

Hmm I like the colorway, and they added a zipper which was the reason I sold my old pair, but I wonder if they're too boring

I kinda like them. Somewhat like CP Bball hi's but with less branding.

I feel like they'd look a little better in all white, but YMMV.

What about a leather MA-1? Does anyone like these or does the inherent bag bagginess/puffy nature of a MA-1 look too sloppy in leather?

I'm having the same problems but with a silk McQueen ma-1 I bought.

Not sure how to style it, fits great in the body but the arms are really long, not sure if it's meant to be that way to simulate the puffy effect, but it all stacks towards the cuff.

I've just been flipping the elastic cuff up once to shorten the length to a neat fit.

So I've been somewhat interested in picking up these ETQs, but the fact that they've lasted so long at multiple stores means the rest of the world probably think they're fug. What's your take?

fug is part of the appeal of so many hyped designer sneakers, I like the hefty sole of etqs but... I dunno I kinda just always pass on them in favor of something wit more character and more fug.
