    Engineered Garments FW 11

     The bib things are usually a reference to fishing gear, no? Not that this affects their 'wearability.' WWM had some similar items in FW09. Maybe earlier seasons as well, come to think of it.

    Engineered Garments FW 11

    Daiki Talks About Engineered Garments Making The Collection We’ve sometimes had themes for the collection, but lately I suppose the pattern has been to absentmindedly pick up a few things that I’d like to do and somehow finish them up, even while I can’t really picture the outcome. When I...

    Woody Allen Movie Thread

    Re: late Woody Allen, Sweet and Lowdown must be the most overlooked/underrated film of his from the post-mid 90s. Vicky Christina Barcelona and Match Point are the only other legitimately good ones. The rest, depends on how much you enjoy Woody Allen. Most have an entertaining scene or two but...

    Fall Trends

    Nice try at twisting my words but you're the one who made the either mis-informed or ignorant broad-brush comment about Junya just putting trends down the runway. Not trying to twist your words, just trying to answer what you wrote. Anyway, my original comment was intentionally provocative, on...

    Fall Trends

    Aesthetically alone, has very little in common with TB or EG or Woolrich. Junya is not about Americana or Amerika-ji as you seem to be implying here. Not to mention that Junya design and construction is entirely unique and vastly superior to any mid-tier brand. I've seen people argue this...

    Fall Trends

    ^i don't classify junya in the same category as all this woolrich eg nonsense How do you figure that? For the last two or three years Junya has picked up some trends pioneered by Thom Browne and mid-market Japanese brands and put them on a Paris runway. I like the clothes, but it's obvious what...

    Recent purchases - Part II

    The pants seem to be amazing quality, especially for the price, but they're very much an MC cut. I resisted the temptation after I saw fit pics that showed a top block that was too generous for me. I like my pants to show some delineation between where the ass ends and the leg begins i.e. you...

    loopwheeled sweatshirts

    I thought "loopwheel" indicated that it had been made on a circular knitting machine, and the sign of that was seamless tube construction? Neither of my loopwheel sweatshirts have that kind of backside...

    The WAYWT Discussion Thread

    I think the Junya faux-denim is great (full disclosure: picked up a similar pair Tres Bien Shop had this season). They seem like a sly/funny comment on the cult of jawn authenticity, the ultimate "fake" distressing.

    >>> Help! WAYWT Learning Thread; Mistakes Are Permitted; Maybe You Should Start Here

    I guess I don't see them as wretched. I would wear leather loafers if I found any that were comfortable like house shoes. I think thats the appeal of these, they seem comfortable and as though they'd go well with jean/chino fits. I couldn't find it, but there's a fit Rye did last year with them...

    Am I going too far buying these Yuketens?

    ^^ Go for the visvim shaman. I could see them with f/w09 junya.

    Even if someone could ID that, you'd then have to track down some random denim jacket from 2003. Something very similar: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/html/indigo527j.htm

    Engineered Garments FW 2010

    I feel like the country blazer would be nicer without all the added straps and tabs. If they had matching cords it would be a nice alternative to the similar suit that Our Legacy just did. Are the bike shirts faux short sleeves or are they just layering them in both pics? Country blazer used to...
