Screw tennis balls. How many leathers can you fit under your leather?

It’s a cool jacket. Unfortunate you couldn’t get it for less.

Yeah it is a beautiful jacket in person, and the S fit me like a glove. I probably don't want to ask him if he caught the price on it.. :lol:

IMO, the nice thing about the five zip is you can achieve a kind of interesting, high fashion look with fairly "normie" clothes. With Rick, you need drop crotch pants, the right shoes, maybe even a drapey tee. But with five-zips, you can wear regular slim-straight jeans and white t-shirts. You can also do Margiela GATs, CPs, or side-zips, which a lot of guys on this board already own.

I was looking at Sacai's leather jackets for men, and while I like the idea of dressing so conceptually, I don't know if I really have the ability to pull it off. And then, even if you buy the jacket, it's like -- what pants, shoes, shirt, etc.

This was one of the upsides of ToJ before the brand went down in flames. The look is sort of boring now, but for a while, some of the models looked really good on such a wide range of people, and it allowed you to wear things that looked more "high fashion" than repro brands but without going full CDG/ Rick/ Geller/ etc.

I could never get into that look, I know cop, rick, bbs all create clothing like that but I just cant do it.

Generally for rick/ccp I need longer proportions for my clothing but then again I never tuck in anything and most things I own are longish.

did you ever cover any avante garde stuff on your blog?

This jacket is laying flat. How would you measure pit to pit? From pit seam to pit seam? Or rather from the broadest edge of the chest to the other side?
