Quick question:
How's Nudie sizing compared to APC;
If I'm 30 in APC Petit Standard, do I get 32 in Nudie Grim Tim ?

Hows sizing on Dries van Noten jackets (specifically bomber jackets)? I'm 5'10' 140, 38 chest, 29 waist about 17-18 Shoulders. I'm guessing medium? Or, since bomber jackets are meant to be a little looser fit would I be a large ? :embar:

I Second that. Have some chucks, fit TTS.

@everyone: I'm looking for a lightweight, white or off-white, slim fit, casual pant that i can where with Ts, button downs, ect. Under $100 and ideally at the $70 mark.


I think the "chucks fit large" thing comes from the fact that they are sneakers but they fit larger than most sneakers. I am a 9.5 in Nike and NB, 10 in PF flyers but 9 in Converse...Converse is more like dress shoe sizes.

For the price, it's going to be hard to find good slim fit casual pants. Epaulet would probably be your best bet. Or J Crew Urban slim fit chinos. I actually got some pretty nice H&M (i know, i know) grey linen pants in slim fit for 30 bucks and they are very good for the price.

This is a question for the SF gods:

So I've only recently found out about the company Inverallan, and it seems they've just gone out of business about a year back. But because they used to do custom orders, is there any chance that they still do custom orders for people with the right connections? Can someone point me in the right direction?

What is the accepted jean length? I just bought the 501 shrink to fit in a 29W 32L and they just hit the back of my loafer after the initial soak. I know this is slightly short, especially for a pair of raw denims, but is it too short?

REALLY bad picture, but you can see the length. Are these too short?

It depends on whether you want to cuff or stack...you might be able to slightly cuff if you like it high. If you don't care about either, it looks like you have a perfect length for not catching on footwear. Hopefully you got all the shrinking out of it.

Alright, another Q: Is anyone familiar with the quality and sizing for the Vintage Shoe Company? I have my eye on their Langdon brogue model in the tan/tobacco colorway, does anyone know where I can find them sub $200 (I'm a size 10)? Here's a photo from the Steven Alan site:

Hi,

I bought my first Lanvin. I really like them, but to some, they are too bold/bowling shoe like.

Anyways, what kind of fit should i be wearing with these shoes? I was thinking some deepn indigo jeans and some blue/grey shirt that is more conservative. Does that sound right?
