Does moleskin stretch and wear with use similar to denim or what?


edit:
Ugh

Non-wool fabric for trousers like cotton are really not flattering on me. The only time that I can remember is back when I wore Nudies, but that is different because the denim molds to your leg shape with each wear no to mention the beautiful fades... Nowadays I cannot buy cotton bottoms without odd creases, unclean lines due to the fabric being more rigid. This sucks. I guess to be more specific, fabric that will loosen up with wear or has an inherent characteristic of being light and flowy e.g. linen, silk, viscose(?), jersey cotton etc.

Christophe Lemaire makes some beautiful clothes btw. Fabric feels wonderful, thick, and construction is really well done. I think the silhouette of his trousers would fit a lot of guys here. Gradual taper but not aggressive. As seen in his lookbook for each season, the tailored bottom with thick knit or long, billowy coat is fantastic! Something majestic and romantic about the look... I am sad, I cannot wear your non-wool pants Mr. Lemaire :(

Luxire maybe the only viable option to get specific colors and have it done in a wool fabric.

Maybe... try it out and see. If you are under 5'9 then maybe not a good idea.

I say that only because I have learned to appreciate the style / cut the designer intended his or her garments to be like and it will either fit my body type or will not. Obviously minor things like taking in the waist or hem is fine, but when it comes to the seat need adjustment or you get a knee bulge etc. I just don't mess with it. Hell, even if it is too long and depending on the designer some here would suggest just rolling up the hems! If you I cannot fit into a certain aesthetic because the cut of clothing is too slim, big, short, long etc. I just walk away from it and admire from afar...

Certainly you can say how great the fabric is and I was trying to convince myself to keep something for that very reason, but it is a bit foolish.

I know what they say, but if any native speaker would like to provide the translation, by all means please do!


I think my English isn't very good, but I give it a try. ^^


Space and time While it's genesis, in the studio the scenic designs for the Milan La Scala were painted. Today, the big loft, only seperated by shelves, has to fulfill countless functions, it is a showroom, workspace and warehouse all in one. In the foreground: The inner life of a Carol-Christian-Poell sport coat.

Narrow silhouette There aren't any photographs of Carol Christian Poell. Who doesn't meet him in person has to be content with the outlines of his figure. The model (here on the hook) is made from the same green paper as the patterns.
