The What Are You Wearing Today (WAYWT) Discussion Thread, Part II

[ghostface]

thanks for all the comments and thumbs, guys.

Good good

Now the indigo hype the forum has been experiencing can dye down a little.

haha, gooooood one.

@ghostface That is a lovely jacket and what looks to be one serious drop shoulder. I'd like to see some more details of the construction.

the construction on this is pretty interesting. imagine a single* large piece of cloth that is folded over a horizontal bar. the front and back halves are then stitched together at the sides, creating the side-seams, while leaving an opening at the bar for what will be the armholes. the sleeves are then attached to the open armholes. so there are only three kinds of seam--the ones at the sides, the ones connecting the sleeves to the body, and the ones on the sleeves themselves.

*note: what at first appears to be a single, large piece of cloth is actually composed of a number of long vertical strips of cloth that are handwoven together. you can see it in the close-up that shows the "ridges" in the fabric:

^^ i´d love to hear more about the mysterious Gramicci pants myself

gramicci is a company based in california that was big with rock climbers and surfers in the 1980s and 90s. they're big on "freedom of movement", gussetted crotches, and the like. i think you'd really dig the cut of their pants (look at the cotton "original g" model, which is what i'm wearing in this pic). they have a long rise and relatively straight legs that also look good pinrolled a bit. all of their pants in this line are garment-dyed, and some of them have great colors. and they're priced really low compared to niche designers we normally discuss here.

^^thanks, i´ve been looking at the original g pants forever without commiting. Any comments on sizing?

 

[ghostface]

they have an elasticated waist and internal belt, so sizing is somewhat flexible. i'm wearing a small and have a ~31" waist. the hem width on these is something like 7.75". the hips are narrow-ish, which is good for me but probably not as good for guys with more lower-body bulk.

in deciding between medium and large, i think it would probably depend on how much volume you want in the legs/seat.

This looks like a not-too-complicated project to attempt for practice, might have to go for it! just have to get some really sick fabric

@lesamourai I'm not well versed in baller boot design but is that a reversed zipper? So you zip it downwards to secure it instead of upwards? Interesting...

(those zippers are part of the pants and not the boot)

I bought some good fabric from Jim at kimonoboy. There is a section of sake bag fabric that would make for a great piece. He is american but lives in Japan with his wife who also happens to have an Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/indigobluejapan She carries most of the left overs jim wont put up on his store
