That was confusing to me too, especially because gilt labeld the sale simply 'lady gaga'

And explain this to me.... "Model is wearing a size 52. Model's measurements: Height: 6'1.5", Waist: 32", Shirt: 15.5, Suit: 38"

i've seen that a lot in gilt descriptions ... dunno if this is how they manage to do it

did you measure yourself and send them in or have a professional tailor do the measure for you?

 

[the shah]

you should probably be measured by someone else even if not a tailor.

if not a tailor I'd have my mom do it, who, has been sewing for years so isn't completely clueless, but probably won't be as good as a professional tailor (love you mom).

Yeah don't measure yourself. The #s will come out all wacked

Couple of things I'd kop from that sale if I had more disposable income, but presentation for the loss

That kilt sold out pretty quickly

word. they only had one of the LS in size L so I let my friend get it (got enough CP). but they might have an S if that is what you need. for wahtever reason, seven only got sizes S and L this season.

Great, great question.

You're probably better off having your moms do it. I was looking at the web site, and they recommend having a layperson take your measurements because a tailor will pad them based on what they think a garment should measure for a normal/comfortable fit on your body (e.g., measure a 40" chest as a 42" chest because an OTR shirt for a 40" chest would probably measure ~21" pit to pit). I wanna say the entry level price is $480 (without fancy fabrics, &c.). That's what I'd go for if I needed a suit right now.

is raw denim still generally the better bang for the buck if you want jeans? been waiting patiently to see what kind of denim is available and i am still contemplating whether to just buy a pair of APC or try something different like 'our legacy' etc. etc. and skinny vs taper vs straight. skinny jeans out now?

i don't own any jeans currently anymore and feels like forever since i tried a pair.

I really don't get the need for 3 NYC locations when the more effective and cheaper option would be to branch out to other US markets (Cali, maybe Chicago). Edit: Also, I very, very nearly bought another pair of ponyhair boots. These Bottegas would have likely been mine if it hadn't taken so damned long to get a parking space

You and me both, boss.

Two things that always amuse me about clothing:

1.) People who ask for critiques on jean fits and proceed with shirtless fit pics. Dude no one wants to see pale, flabby stomaches. I understand the reasoning but, come on...

2.) People who post "critique the fit of item X" pictures with a variety of poses like arms straight out forward, to the side, straight up, etc. Once again, I understand the reasoning for this but I've seen people take well fitting winter jackets, do this, then put it away. Oh come on, how many times will you be waking zombie-arms through the snow storm and have mild discomfort ruining your day?

I read this three times and still am not sure what you're getting at.

Check any fit critiques on MC, though I saw it a lot in person also.

 

[gettoasty]

something like being cold vs. ill fitting jacket? where the former > latter
