Le De Bonne Facture Thread

[DBF Gerald]

I own this sweater- I'd say it's more of a dull ochre, the DBF product shot is accurate. In person the color is excellent, as well as everything about it. One of my favorite pickups this season.

@zissou I'd agree with @jmiller123 on this one . In terms of temperature, the colors are pretty accurate to the photos overall. I do find East Dane's photos to be a little more washed out than other sites in general. So, it's not like... dull-dull, but not supersaturated, if that makes sense.

Whatup y'all, anyone listen to Parcels?? we just launched a new section on the site called 'Worn By' and shot some photos of our friend Anatole Serret, a musician for the band. Hoping to get some more homies and interesting people for the new series to photograph and tell interesting stories.

Included some of the pics below (shot by Edward Rivera), but you can check out the rest of 'em here. What music is everyone listening to right now?? I'm always hunting for new stuff. Currently listening to the new Duster album...

Nice! Haven't seen the Queen and Slim movie yet, what'd you think?

Good movie...a little long...underlying message was powerful and it was beautifully shot.

Fwiw I ordered that honey mock neck sweater off East Dane and the XXL fits like a slim La..

the colour is really nice and it’s fairly light weight. Sizing just doesn’t seem to ever work out for me with DBF.

I’m returning it today unless somebody here wants it first, it was under $200 iirc

Yea, the shoulders and chest on her knitwear are always tiny

They are designed for Frenchmen, not us fat Americans.

I have a size 48 olive green linen blazer and just wanted to check to see here if there is any interest here before adding it online elsewhere. Here is a quick picture in mediocre lighting. I can post measurements and better pics soon if there is interest. Looking for $150 obo (includes shipping to US).

There are some nice sale prices at MrP and Matches right now. I picked up a couple essential shirts at half off from MrP (really 35% off, which is still good).

 

[rodgers12]

Tried copping, but the price jumped from $150 to $180 for no reason when I tried to go to my cart & check out

Picked up the Relaxed Jacket off the Mr Porter sale. The recycled wool is super-soft, as advertised. Might have the sleeves shortened just a tad but otherwise perfect.

Some cool shots of it here:

こんにちは。toffの鈴木です。 春夏シーズンの大半はシャツがメインになる事が多いので、朝の支度にそこまで時間はかからないのですが、秋冬シーズンともなると、あれやこれやと悩んだ挙句2周も3周もするというのが朝のお決まりになっています。 そんな中で、やっぱり”ジャケット”という物は特別な物で、ついつい何か羽織ってしまいたくなる…そんなアイテムかなと思っています。 昨日の続きでは無いですが…今回のDE BONNE FACTUREのジャケットは肩肘張らず、羽織るのにちょうど良いバランス感のジャケットに仕上がっています。

How accurate are Mr Porter's sizing suggestions are on the shirts? Seems kind of strange they recommend to size up, I found them to run TTS mostly; the model is wearing size 40 on a 38" chest...

 

[zissou]

I have a 39” chest and can wear a 39 just fine. I prefer a 40, though, if I’m not planning on wearing the shirt under a sweater. Finding the right size also depends on shoulder width and arm length. DBF shirts seem to be fairly accommodating to both.

I'm still terrified of this stuff not fitting I won't order.
