The vnecks are not the relaxed style, and they definitely are longer (which I like). They are indeed thick and could be worn as a tee. Yes, I take my regular size.

Does this look like a woman's jacket to you guys?






It looks very beautiful, but extremely cropped..Im not a very tall guy (172cm), but I'm afraid even for someone of my height this will appear ridiculous.

Thoughts?

That's part of what's attracting me, a medium is supposedly 30.5" long, hoping an XL will be 31-32".
how tall are you? a 32" tee would hand way past ******, and I am 5'11" with a pretty proportional torso. That length can look okay with Rick Owens style drapey tees, but for a heavier, stiffer tee, that length is about right for a 6'3'+ guy.

It's not my style, but it's meant to be cropped, even an exaggeration of the cropped nature of the double breasted biker jacket. I've seen them worn well with layers underneath.

Completed a DIY wax job on my Filson coat. It came out a little uneven, but overall I'm pretty happy with the results. Raindrops be beadin' up!

Thanks man, much appreciated.

@Fok - I am 6'2"-6'3" depending on who measures me. I like my tee's a little longer, John Elliot T's are about 33", the Machus T's I have are 37" long which is a little bit too long, so I 32" should be perfect; long without really being noticeable. We'll see, they are only $28, if they suck I'll just wear them to the gym.

whats the most damage anyone's done to a piece of clothing trying it on? My friend just snapped the laces on a pair of CCP derbies - he freaked out, but they were pretty cool about it, especially since those laces are apparently made of gossamer

I've googled and read guides and stuff, but just to be sure, what are some good shops around the Nepenthes area? Lots of good ones in soho but kinda far. Haven't found much else.

I emailed the company about sizing on the crew neck relaxed tees. They sent me back a size chart. Chest is 47.6" and length is 31.2" on XL.

I've torn a few shirts putting them on quickly or like seams on a knit, but if it's something I'm really considering buying I'd usually be careful with it anyway. As far as that shoelace, I know I wouldn't give a ****.

Not much, made a button fall off here and there and that's about it. My own clothing sometimes end up torn (even leathers) or with cigarette burns, just had a MMM jacket rewoven because I got a huge one at a party.

Reopened a finger cut while handling various AnnD boots, started dripping blood on a pair of white vitellos
