Damn, I like it, and I have an oddly long neck, so high collar is cool with me. Where2kop?

ConcernedParent, that trench looks nice, especially for $60.

Its UO and not on sale. http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban...SULTS&color=40 I'm really a fan of these long placket popovers.Check the article: http://www.valetmag.com/style/trends...er_041609.php/ Anyone know about where else to buy folk not from the website? I like that shirt in the article but I hate to ship from the uk

Is there really a difference? I mean, between skinny jorts and skinny jeans cut and folded....

Update. Bought it, the small was gone so I took the medium. Its real slim fitting, when I wear an BD underneath the shoulders fit perfectly, it's still a little baggy in areas but I can live with it. Quality sucks balls, materials thin as hell, would not cop for half off ($100).

Jorts = cut jeans or jean shorts. There is a pretty big difference between finished, "proper" shorts and cutoffs. I was just saying between finished shorts, cut off shorts, and cut off jeans, the latter are the hardest to pull of well, I think.

I find the lace cover particularly ugly. Would you buy these shoes if they weren't Jil Sander?

Heh, I'll give my $0.02, they are very modern and I think would not go with your style, they almost have a futuristic vibe to them, except they're a bit bland.

I thought they looked like futuristic german army trainers...I need white low tops and well...they're Jil Sander.
