    glad to see this thread is still going strong, lots of great fits. :slayer: managed to get my hands on this 6.1 the men aw91 coat a little while ago and has worn it every day since then! Heavy heavy gabardine, this thing is built like a tank and I could it last a lifetime. Finally got a coat...

     I agree with wire, I don't think there are any fakes. That jacket that came up before had a weird tag, looked very strange to me, but otherwise I'm not sure it actually was a faked item or if someone just messed with the tag. Those first pieces are these: aw01 coat - iconic aw91...

    Arche, I'm fairly sure they have never attached the size tag like that so someone else must have done that. Also I don't think anything has been made in France since the 80s? In which case it doesn't make sense that it's brand new, and it shouldn't have number sizing in that case. Sounds very...

     it's not uncommon with pressed pants, he does those every season and can be seen on every runway. I have several pairs with a front crease/press, for instance the Dr YY suit, which can be seen on the runway. It was especially common in earlier collections. Pants look good, btw!

    ^would you say it's worth the ~£20 or so from amazon? I'll probably get it since the dimensions look good.

    ^they did those in several iterations but it said flannel wool in the listing for that particular auction so... well, I'm guessing it's not gabardine. The slits probably go through, so not pockets. Never liked the styling with the silk scarves through the slits, there was another blazer in the...

    Always good to see your posts MoK, I really liked this last one. Short DB coat looks fantastic and DMs are always good (of course). Perhaps the pants could be switched out some relaxed wool pants with a better drape and perhaps slighty deeper rise. Hat looks great too. Good stuff.

    ^Congrats on getting a great suit, Ivwri. It has definitely become on the staples for this thread's members, there's at least 5 of us with full zipper suits, and if I'm not mistaken I think stadsvandringar also have one of those jackets? The standard wool gabardine definitely changes between...
