I'll try to do better next time.


Jil's is mad uggz.

If you want designer kicks check Oki Ni. The Margiela and Christian Peau selection is dope. If the price gives you pause PM me.

What do you guys think?


Among these two, I would go with JM. But LLBean also has the same style bucks, its like 75 or something. Looks exactly like these two.

RRL officer chinos? They're really nice and fit me well, but I feel uneasy about the idea of $185 chinos (I can get them for $150, but still...). Then again, I have an RL store credit, so it's either these or more Rugby buttondowns and maybe a patchwork madras popover.

I'd say $150 for mtm trousers with a great trim cut in a nice fabric of your choosing is a good deal.

You try on a lot of clothes, don't you, Bruno?

They actually appear to fit pretty well considering your slight build. Yes, one-fiddy gs is no small price to pay. But if you think they'll be of significant benefit to your wardrobe, jump in. Don't think of buying a patchwork madras popover, I repeat: DON'T THINK OF BUYING A PATCHWORK MADRAS POPOVER.

Unless, of course...

Your dressing room fits always look better than your WAYWTs. Those chinos look great and the shirt is cool too. What is it?

Thinking of getting the W+H SS09 Bomber jacket in black.

I like the black and it looks good when its abit faded. I've heard the quality is good.

Any advices?

Thanks!
