Those suede joints actually look good in that photo. I usually find black suede boots to err on the side of feminine but that's clean for sure.

the super skinny jeans are different every season. this season they're a stonewashed blue and grey. you have to look carefully for them though, they look very similar to the regular skinny stonewashed blue and grey. and yes, they're really, really skinny, with a 14ish cm leg...i couldn't even get them on in my normal size. i'd have to size up one if not two. so if you're going to order them online, make sure you know your size.

the black destroyed have kind of a strange rip at the right knee, like many of you have said. also, on some pairs, the rip is much lower, and falls way below the knee, which looks silly. don't ask me why, just be aware when you're ordering online. the staining is less "blue" than last season i think, so they look more monochrome.

the blue destroyed jeans fit skinnier than the black ones this season. they will also stretch less. the thigh rips are pretty extreme this season, though, and they show a fair amount of skin. i like my pair more than i thought i would, the wash is pretty amazing.

there is also a slim version of the blue destroyed jeans, which fit very nicely, and maybe look more proportional. but not of the black destroyed jeans, afaik.

the raw hem jeans fit wider at the thighs, and then taper a lot through the leg. the coating and fabric is pretty remarkable, though.

the "old vintage" jeans fit tts and the wash is much better in person than online. the denim's not too flimsy, the cut is severe but not ott, with a true 15.5cm hem. they're probably my favorite pair so far. highly recommended.

lol slp sizing issues never end.

Thanks for the info! On the raw hem, is the waist the same size? Also how does the wash on the destroyed compare to the older season Blues? Is it actually more dirty?

it's just my opinion...the raw hem jeans have a slightly different shape than the others. wider at the waist and thighs, and then tapering to become narrow through the leg (15cm-ish). they look a little funny on me, like a little carrot-shaped maybe. it's a shame, because the coating gives the fabric a stiffness and sheen that's pretty amazing. i think they would work well on really (truly) skinny people though...like toothpick skinny.

the wash on the ss blue destroyed jeans is a little more contrasty than last season, i think. so they look a little "older", if you like. it's not more dirty in the sense of a brown or orange overdye though. if you want that tone, try the "old vintage" jeans, they have a tinge of rust in them.

also, to clarify, i think the new release of black destroyed with the big knee rip in stores is still technically fw14. i'm not sure if the ss15 design is just carried over, or actually different like the sample pics (i.e. more slashes, less big rips).

hope that helps.

also, it really doesn't help that the website is now (mis)labeling D02 skinny jeans as "D01". lol.

Thank you very much for your help! Now I'm debating canceling my order for the raw hem I ordered from luisavorma. I don't have toothpick legs. It seems like they are more of the Kanye west APC jeans cut? I kind of see what you are saying In the attached pic but they don't look too bad on the model. Most of my slp jeans fit like the ones on the left.. Do you recommend sizing down if the waist is bigger?

Yes, the old vintage wash is exactly what I want. Can't find those anymore.

while i'm at it, more fit notes.

just my opinion...

the new season biker jackets are pretty exquisite. but they fit really, really boxy. the officer biker jacket (i.e. the gold embroidered one) is boxy enough i could wear my thickest sweater under it in my regular size comfortably. the studded one is a little smaller, but still quite boxy. what i was unhappiest about was that they have wide sleeves and big armholes, and are about a half inch (i think?) longer than previous season jackets. almost as if they're cut for muscly dudes with big guns who work out like the world's about to end (which is fine, but it's definitely not me).

i haven't tried the new season L01 and L17 yet, so i don't know...but last season's were so big that i returned both of mine.

i'd strongly recommend getting an fw14 jacket if you want a slim cut...and an older one still if you want a severe cut. my first season jackets are tiny compared to what slp is making now. like for example the studded collar jacket and the studded L17 were both cut very slim.

from what i understand, the jackets are getting bigger to accommodate more generically sized people...head office at saint laurent is calling the shots and deciding to size stuff like the gap. but they just don't have the magic for me at least of a super-skinny slimane leather. it's a shame, with the officer biker jacket i felt like i was practically wearing a schott perfecto...definitely not cut for a skinny frame. sizing down doesn't really help, because the shoulders get narrower, but the sleeves don't lose their width, and the proportions don't quite work.

the bombers are still cropped and narrow, though. the varsities feel a little bigger, too. the blazers feel roughly the same to me. i.e., bigger than early seasons, but not quite boxy...yet.

so, i was pretty disappointed

jbidwal,

yeah, the apcxkanye jeans are a fair comparison to the raw hem jeans. don't get me wrong, they're not like huuuge at the thighs and tight at the ankles...just a little bigger in the top block then more tapered than regular slp denim. there's another apc model (it's been a long time since i wore apc so i don't remember) which has a similar carrot/tapered/cut. sizing down might work, but the jeans just have a different shape. i guess you either like it or don't. the old vintage jeans are on the website now in every size...so you could try that.

hope this helps.

They must have just added them recently. Might just get them over the raw. Luisaviaroma is painfully slow to ship at the moment too, 7-8 day delay.

Thanks. About to order a pair. Suggestions on sizing?

I have a moderately wide foot, and I find going TTS (43.5) is really snug, but the leather breaks in over time. I definitely wouldn't size down.

I wear a 43 in most CP models, for reference.

 

[The3rdConch0rd]

Not a dress up boot.

Ex.

Which SLP denim are you wearing here?

Thanks. I have a pair of CPs in 42 but I find them a bit snug. I'm a 43 in slp sneakers, 41-42 in the Arena. I'm thinking 43 then to be safe.

Are these more narrow than the ankle boots?

^^not be, but they are FW13 crash if I'm not mistaken. Also @Jbidwal

Hi, Can I get some advice please? I've recently been drawn in by the Wyatt Harness boots (they look amazing), and now that I've finally got over the fact they've got a 4cm heel and might attract cowboy comments, I'm weighing up whether to purchase. However the clincher is my winter wardrobe is for the most part dark colours, and whilst I'd like to invest in SLP ripped jeans, tartan check shirts and tan overcoats it's too much money for me to spend. So my only option (for now) is to make the boots work with an 'all black' outfit. So my question is, 1. can I wear the boots with the following outfit? I'm even concerned the sliver of red satin lining in the peacoat throws off the all black|+brown shoes image. 2. referencing the discussion on the quality of SLP boots changing (neonrider's posts a few pages back), this is slightly concerning because I don't want to drop £800 on a pair of shoes that inherently "know" were better quality in a previous iteration - is it possible there isn't a drop in quality and they did just change the zip style/cutting of the fabric for stylistic reasons in the AW14 release? I've added a couple of pictures I saved from instagram where the guys' Wyatt boots have a heavy exposed zip running diagonally, vs the smaller, suede covered zip running vertically in the shoes I've seen in the boutique. Your thoughts please!!!

Thanks. They look a lot better than I imagined. I think they will work with my wardrobe. Im going to give them a shot.

That's my picture. They're actually last season's "Dirty 50's" D02, which look a lot better in person than any website they were sold on in my opinion. You should still be able to track them down, but I would recommend sizing down 1 from whatever size you normally wear in Saint Laurent, as they run slightly big.

On an unrelated note, ran into Hedi today. Was too nervous to ask for a picture with him, so instead I took one of him walking away hah. Really nice guy, though.

 

[youwhat]

What jacket was he wearing?
