saw in spam that aitor was being carried at okini and got excited, but it's just lame prints for stupid money

stitches should get the Margiela Regis tattooed onto his back.

FTFY

does anyone have a good recommendation for super thin, long and cheap dress socks? preferably something like bamboo that doesn't fall apart after one wear. i have a bunch of uniqlo socks, but they're a little thick for some of my dress shoes, and too short

Depends on what cheap is. Nordstrom has those OTC cotton socks in black/blue/brown/gray that thin, durable, and cost about $13 a pair. I wear a pair everyday and they last years.

I have a lot of pairs from PRL or RL or something like that that I really like, which I'm pretty sure are a cotton/bamboo blend. I always just buy them at marshals or ross. They're the seamless-toe style, which is all I can wear. CK and Perry Ellis also make seamless variants (also at marshalls) - the CK ones are a little thinner, but the PE are comfier and haven't lost any of their stretch. I think the PRL are my favorites. They're all thin enough for dress shoes/boots. They're all usually available in 3 packs for 8-12$

So I've had this jacket for a month now, and I'm still figuring out ways to style it.

was thinking black carrot-shaped trousers. (related thought: time to buy some black carrot-shaped trousers)

What you say?

Spoiler: the jacket

When you shop online in the future you will be able to pull up a real size hologram of the clothes and virtually try them on.

Thanks to everyone that posted up the links to Siki Im retailers!
Definitely going to wait for the stock to update again.

After today's Ervell sample sale, I'm fairly sure I'm going to stop with Ervell for a little bit and switch over to different designers.
Schneider, Dana Lee, Margaret Howell, etc..
I'd say I'm content with my Ervell collection at the moment.

Gonna take a test. Will probably get rocked by it. Will want to emotion buy. Its my version of feelings eat.

Go for it. To tell you the truth, I don't think that jacket looks great with jeans. Carrot-shaped trousers would look much better.

I don't think the jacket is ever gonna look good with anything, because it's like an awkward cross between a kimono and a pajama top. I'd sell it.

alternatively, stop trying to wear it with casual clothes. it's a rip of a tuxedo jacket, no? so try it with some grey dress pants, black shoes and a white shirt.

Here are other versions of the jacket from other seasons. It's inspired more by kimonos than tuxedo jackets, which is what I dig about it-- lots of volume, but in a controlled sort of way. Not really meant as a formal piece

 

[slstr]

There's not as much volume on you which is part of the reason why I think it looks a little odd. On you it's quite cropped and fairly slim (judging just from that photo) and in the looks above it looks a lot more voluminous.

Also the fabric looks weird in that cut, sharp, classic suiting fabric cut weirdly like that doesn't really work for me, the jacket in the right picture looks great because the fabric is a lot more textured and unconventional, which matches the cut.

In other news, you have a really good face.

 

[dfagdfsh]

well for one, those jacket models look better, and fit the models better (more volume). second they are wearing it semi - formal - dressier shoes and dressier pants. i don't think carrot shaped pants will help because you don't have enough volume on top. it walks this awkward middle ground between baggy and slim.. it honestly looks like a robe someone chopped in half.

 

[Bam!ChairDance]

Yeah, my pic makes it look much slimmer/shorter than it does in real life, which is kind of annoying. I'll have to find another angle to do it more justice. Interesting point about the fabric though

Oh, on a completely different note, has anyone had success selling Kris Van Assche (clothing, not sneakers) on ebay?
