Exactly this. I have a pair of trousers that are 11” at the thigh and straight from knee to hem at 9.75” but they look flared.

I quite like those. The high rise and straight legs in that color have a hint of late 70s that looks good.

Guys on groiled are still trying to sell a Margiela currency wallet that you could get for like $140 in 2013 (around this time) for 7k, 5k, 4K….I think we risk world domination when two chat bots go at it

Funniest ones on Vestiare/Grilled are those when flippers dip their paws into a crappy collab like both of the post-Totoro Loewe x Ghibli ones, or Burberry x Supreme, etc.

They're called jibbitz you ignoramus. This is a fashion and style site, it's embarrassing that you don't know that. Elevate your circle.

Blluemade, but it probably leans too workwear for you

De Bonne Facture's recent linen is stuff is great, but again, maybe not quite your speed?

speaking of looser pants, any good recos out there for baggy jeans?

I mostly wear vintage Levi’s 550s these days (looser up top, but tapered) but I really want like a 9”+ leg opening.

I like the looks of the new 18 East jeans but theyre a bit too short for me.

Lithuanian Etsy stuff rules.

this is a good tip . fwiwi i've been dipping into linen for awhile and i've been pretty frustrated with the inconsistency of product ...

i do think rlpl was using good material for their tailoring as i have handled , i have an eileen fisher set that i've been holding onto forever to pilfer the material , that is a frankly incredible linen double woven and iirc it was irish but i'd have to dig it out to be sure ...

the belgian origin stuff i've handled ( i'm talking yarn here ) has been underprocessed which i'm sort of ambivalent about , i find it to be very gummy and a little unfriendly to touch , somewhat coarse . ymmv
