Le De Bonne Facture Thread

[zissou]

What's wrong with the oversized? Was thinking about picking one up (down a size)

I'm tall and skinny, and anything in oversized linen looks like I'm swimming in it.

If I’m only wearing one brand, it’d be dbf.

Agreed. I'm vetting my closet and one criteria is anything not De Bonne Facture or A Kind of Guise goes.

I’m really hoping the pique mock neck is coming back. Planning on wearing it with suits this fall.

I’m really hoping the pique mock neck is coming back.

It likely will. Last season, I picked up the pique crew and tneck in navy, and the mock neck in chestnut. They’re all wonderful.

The moc neck is a staple so I don’t imagine it disappearing.

Would anybody here be interested in a pair of the clay linen drawstring pants from this season in a 52? Fits like a 34/large. New with tags, I only tried them on but it was an impulse buy and not something I need.

Funny, I bought the two pleat wide leg version of the red pants. I wonder if I’ll have similar feelings about them.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Don’t get me wrong, the colour is amazing. I have the oversized linen shirt and have worn it a lot. The low rise on dbf just isn’t great for me and I really want 10 pairs of pants I wear a lot instead of 40 pairs that I feel obligated to wear.
If the cut works for you I’m pretty sure you’ll love them.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Oh yeah, and those pants are sold already so...

 

[zissou]

The two pleat wide leg trousers are wonderfully high rise. I bought three pairs this season because I like the fit so much.

DBF 2 pleats are the only "wide" pants that work for me. The whole wide leg fashion look thing is cool but I think it looks good only if you're built like an ectomorph like most runway models.

Edition 13 is up. Well, not officially but I found it anyway (the text on the left is still for the Spring stuff). I don't think we've seen that plaid or houndstooth used before. It also seems like the trousers are either flat-front or double-pleated. Hopefully, the single-pleats make an appearance later on.

Coats look great

 

[IJReilly]

Wow, this is 100 percent my taste.

These looks are basically what MC casual wishes it looked like (I would wear most as is). The coats are always strong, but I really like the short jackets.
