Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

Went to the JMM pop up in NYC. Tried the Bouregards but they looked not so good on me. Then I tried on their Bandit model that comes out next month and I'm in. Slightly alterlered version of the Reynolds style. Put myself on the list for a pair. Thanks @RegisDB9 you should get a referall fee.

where is the pop-up in the city?

@kjb 248 Columbus Ave. Open till 7. I think only today not certain. Their USA sales rep is there and the staff was really helpful and honest about what works and doesn't.

Whenever people on SF (almost always CM dorks) call pants “strides”, “trew”, or “pents” a part of me dies inside

I've never used the other two, but I use "pents" as a technical term reserved for pants made by Ambrosi.

I regret to inform you that in light of the terrible rolled and cropped pants seen over here, SW&D has lost any moral high ground in this domain

I like that look. Reminds me of junior high in the late 80s. But we would usually fold in the hem before rolling for a more pegged look.

Thought I’d ask here too since this thread may get more traffic,

Any bespoke tailors in the Philippines? Asking for a friend leaving tonight..

I highly recommend Cornell's in Makati. Makes excellent pants and shirts. Jackets are OK. Haven't been there for several years though. There's a thread on this. There's also an area of Manila called Kamuning that sells good fabric, but you have to know what you're looking for. @kevinyapjoco, whom DWW recommended, is a member here too, but he hasn't posted here or on his blog for a couple years.

Is Uniqlo heat tech still alright? I need to gear up this year for inside lounging, as I froze ****** off last year. It doesn't snow or anything here, but gale force winter winds in an old house isn't the greatest.

@Coldsnap ive bought heattech in tops and leggings in the past year. Lasted a full winter of daily wear but the leggings are starting to thin out. I'd recommend if you're okay with something semi disposable. They also make it extra warm heattech which I haven't tried.

Cool, yea semi disposable is ok. Can't afford any full wool gettups, although hose wear out just as fast.

I thought it worked fine, but I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem of the length being short on the sleeves and pant legs.

I've rotated my 9 pairs of heat tech long johns every day since late October and they're holding up well. It still feels weird living somewhere that actually has seasons

I really like the ultra HT stuff.

 

[Mulan]

@Coldsnap they're great as an affordable easy to clean option. I have two that I continue to wear as undergarments when it goes below 20F/-6C, purchased in 2010.
