Kidding me, Bene wishes he looks like that thought I haven't seen what he has posted lately

love the navy color of the entire suit. The bottom just looks small, 1 size too small? Not sure if Shah can have the seat and hem taken out more in order to salvage it.

I would have bought it but I've got enough heavy weight wool gab for a season. right now its all spring time goodies and colors.

missin out

i think you've misunderstood, the fabric is not heavy at all. in fact i wouldn't wear this setup till early spring. that's the beauty of wool gab, well one of them

sadly i won't do anything. i rather not split up the suit and just wear the jacket(s), nor do i trust any tailor to do anything properly. it'll find a new home, i suppose, and best for someone in 5'8-5'10 range.

Recent Sales hauls...

Almost copped that Mt Rainier shirt but the measurements just didn't seem right for me. What's the shirt below it (yellow plaid)?

Band of Outsiders (from End).... It's great.

Testing my new Pany GX1 + 20mm f/1.7 lens by taking pictures of my recent junhashimoto footwear purchases. Love how I can now take indoor shots in a poorly lit room without the aid of a flash.

And I gotta add a plug for junhashimoto's footwear-- every pair I've bought so far are just great! If you can fit into his limited 41,42,43 sizing them definitely give him a try. Sizing is easy since everything fits true to size. All the ones below are horse leather. I have not yet seen any of the other leathers he offers.

Wow bb1 do you really like monkey boots? Derbies and Backzips are great, other ones I'm not a fan of. I have the CDiem originals of those brown derbies.

If Jun hashimoto carried larger sizes I'd be all over it, shame.

I don't particularly like monkey boots either, but in my opinion jun's version only bares a passing resemblance to them. They certainly don't look like a classic monkey boot design. For what it's worth Jun calls them "military backzips" and they do look good when paired with a down filled M66 jacket which I often wear. They're far more rugged looking than the other footwear I own, and for some outfits this simply works better. Plus in the snow they are perfect, whereas the other boots are nearly unusable.

However if I could buy only one of jun's boots, it would definitely be the black CDiem style S21 backzips since they work with nearly anything I wear.

New roommate

Do the backzips ever come in that waxed horse leather you have on the derbies?

did u shoot them all yourself fuuma?

those monkey boots look great, lens working nicely too

bb1 making me consider ordering some back zips

someone buy these guidi please

For some reason, I've always liked the J Crew rollnecks. Their lambswool is pretty decent, and I couldn't go too wrong for $35.
