I agree too. I would have get one if it doesn't have those paint/paint effect on the jeans. I somehow feel that the color of those paint does not match with the denim itself (well just an opinion). I've bought the 15.5 black jeans in 13AW with 1 side of the knee ripped, it has the same paint effect as this black destroyed denim. I just feel that may be the jeans would look better to me without those paint.

what size are the aw13 you have?

Is there anywhere I could possibly find the chain Chelsea boots in black or tan suede (size 44-45)?

I'm thinking about picking up one of the classic duffle bags in black leather. I'm thinking that the duffle 12 looks a bit small for men, making it look like a handbag:



So I'm thinking about the duffle 24, but I'm just concerned that it maybe looks a little big for day to day use. I'd be using it for things like the gym, going to my course or for day trips when I need a folder, water bottle, food, book, sweater, etc., overnight stays, etc. Anybody have any thoughts on them, or experience with them?

You think the 24 looks like a purse?


He's being flippant. The 12 is way too small and yes would seem like a large Luis Vuitton Speedy bag. The 24 is what you have to do, however, it's more of an overnight bag and not an every day bag. If you want something every day, I'd look into their satchels (but different purpose) or backpacks. Their black nylon and leather backpack is understated and fairly voluminous.

Thanks very much for the reply. I like the plain backpacks a lot, and actually my favourite bag of all at the moment is the rock back pack:



However, most of the time I'm wearing my peacoat, chesterfield, a blazer, dress shirts, or sweaters such as the cashmere sweater, and a back pack wouldn't really be right with them (and would probably damage the shoulder padding in the outerwear, and cause pilling on the sweaters.

Another option is the rock sport bag, which is a little smaller than the duffle 24 and a little more casual looking, but I don't think it looks that nice because the proportions of the compartments don't work anything like as well as they do on the rock back pack (I won't rule it out though, and will try and look at it in the store). Satchels have the same issue with causing damage to clothing if carrying a lot of stuff, and the briefcases are a bit small, and a bit work looking (plus I prefer plain leather over grain de poudre for how it ages).

I think I'll see what the staff suggest.

If you stayed TTS with Dior get same size 28.

I sized down one for raw dior and got 27 and my saint laurents are 28 my tts, if your looking for similar tightness to the diors go with 15.5

My TTS is somewhat in between 29-30, so I sized down 2 sizes for my diors 19cm. Once my raw diors stretched out, still had a little space for the waist.
The 17cm and above for saint laurents uses fly buttons right?

Use it uses button fly 5 button, since you sized down 2 sizes for Dior you could probably go with 15.5 if thats the tightness you are looking for

The 17.5 is similar except the calves is looser, if you want 17.5 then size down 1 probably.
