A few of us have been talking about a Bay Area meetup. I posted a note in the San Francisco Bay Area Members group with more details. If you are interested in the meetup, please respond to this post.

Also, if there is a better/more relevant thread that I should post this on, please let me know.

I also posted this on the Blamo Podcast Slack and there are about 15 folks who are interested.

Does anyone have experience with a more recent fabrication of Grenfell raincoat, specifically the Campbell? I got their size chart and the sleeves seem shorter than they should be, at least for a western market. Unfortunately haven't yet received a reply as to how they're measuring.

I'm going to be in Paris for a few days, from October 16-20th. Does anybody have recommendations for men's clothing stores (independent multi-label ones and brand-owned boutiques) or vintage stores (curated or otherwise)? I'd also be up for checking out any department stores with a good selection.

I already have De Bonne Facture, Dover Street Market, Jinji, Kenzo and Rendez-vous on the list, as well as a couple of CM-leaning shoe stores. If Le Bon Marche and La Samaritane have a good selection, I may consider checking them out.

My tastes currently lean towards more relaxed fits and workwear, with some ‘contemporary’ + Japanese streetwear pieces here and there. But I'm willing to check out places outside my wheelhouse. I'd be curious about any stores that stock “advant-garde” brands, as well as any shops that may carry Sacai, Undercover or Yohji.

I'll also be in Athens, Greece during October 14-15 and would be curious about any good food spots or men's clothing stores.

Thanks in advance!
I think Brut Archives vintage is still there in Paris https://brut-clothing.com/

Thank you for the Paris recommendations, @Texasmade @sipang @garigo @Rookoobay @d4nimal! Some of these places I have never heard of (Va Chez Ammar, Harpo) while others I had forgotten about (Brut Archives, Beige Habilleur)

@Texasmade I wish their chore coats weren't so big on me. I bought one from a local retailer years ago and it didn't work out, so I had to return it. Great suggestion regardless, as it's a quality product.

Margiela designers just trolling @RegisDB9 at this point. Has anyone seen these out in the wild, ever?
