marc jacob blazer

yea i'm not in a hurry. I just discovered yoox. nice website but it looks like there's only very small clothes or really big clothes...in between there's not much choice. i'm regular type of guy. 180lbs 6'2''. I'll check it out often. Might be lucky one day

I ordered shoes online for the 1st time in my life... expensive experience

shoes = 420$, shipping = 40$ (by plane ups express), brokerage and taxes = 60$, mmmk so far so good

shoes are too small... return to store 30$ shipping + 6$ for a box (by boat) 1 month. Ups express was 140$ for me and 40$ for the store cause they had a special deal with em.

awaiting new shoes in bigger size, will probably pay brokerage and taxes again (even if they're supposed to declare the package as low value).

So i don't know if online shopping is really an advantage. maybe for rare stuff but otherwise you gotta be damn patient.

It is, if you know exactly what size to get and you don't urgently need to get something

yea but still... best think is to try in a real store and order on yoox or other site

like those dior homme jeans i tried in a store.. they were 560$ ish...and 280$ on yoox. pretty nice! if you can try it before to save some cash and time.

ck collection on yoox has near full size runs (36-46) on a lot of blazers and suits. shoot for 40 or 42. much better than marc by marc stuff which isn't terrible but unremarkable for the pricepoint.

How's CK collection like compared to the regular line?

Ck collection > phillips van huesen Calvin Klien white label --- OP, the jacket looks like a cheap version of a band of outsiders blazer. Looks like they couldn't get Martin greenfield to produce a blazer for them (like scott sternberg got for his label) so they just got some cheap-o store brand, threw a marc by marc jacobs label on him, kicked him a few bucks for the license and tossed some hedi slimane era Dior Homme esque peak lapels on it... it would be a very casual blazer limited to night clubs and bars, or dressing like thom browne dressed you, and pairing it with ridiculously short shorts
