The last four characters in the product code are RB15, so I think it's a good bet.

Im looking to get another pair of jeans that fit similar to an Earnest Sewn Fulton Line Dry (sz 33). Any recommendations to similar fits in raw or one wash? I'd like to stay around $200. Im thinking maybe some 5eps or Acnes

They carry APC NS but I asked and the smallest size they have is 31 Anyone know any online sites with APC NS 27x32 or 28x32? EDIT: Should I just go for Nudie Slim Jims?

They have them at the APC site: http://www.apc.fr/us/en/fiche_articl...7M&color=JEAN2

Well that was my last choice. I guess I'm being a little cheap by asking for another site because some other sites give discounts or free shipping.
Well, I guess I'll buy from the main site if there isn't any other site.

This is more a men's clothing question, but they don't have a question thread. I bought a Calvin Klein black velvet blazer for going out for $80 (retail was $365), which I thought was a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, it runs a tad big. Really, it needs to be taking in, maybe even a tad in the shoulders. I can still return it. Question is, is it cheaper to have alterations done, or should I buy one that fits better right off the rack? Basically I'm asking, how much do typical alterations like these cost? Also, would any respectable tailor laugh if I offered them a CK velvet blazer? Thanks.

Return it and find one that fits properly in the shoulders. Shoulder work is expensive and it would have cost you more than what you paid for the coat.

how much are we talking here? also, what about just taking in the waist?

Suppressing the waist area is cheap, most likely between $20-40 usually. Shoulder work is significantly more expensive because it's time consuming. Based on my experiences, you'd be looking at around $100 to start for getting the job done decently - if anyone gives you a quote that's much less than that, I'd be skeptical on the quality of their work (assuming you're in the U.S. of course).

the only reason im asking is because I can't find a "reasonably" nice velvet blazer at anywhere near that price point. so I might be willing to pay more than the price for the alterations.
