Pocket sweater and suede elbow patch.


I picked up the elbow patch sweater too. I thought about the pocket sweater but decided that I'm too much of a pasty white guy for the bright white one...maybe if they'd had the ivory instead. Missed out on the tan one :fu: if it was even available in my size to begin with...


Edit: also picked up some s2a grey jeans the other day

No, I've never been. I mean, I like brands like Engineered Garments (which had some workwear seasons, but is more broadly "Americana") and WWM, but my look is more... I think that Brian SD called it "killer cowboy". So, imagine if Self Edge had a lovechild with Atelier. Recently, I've been dressing a little like Javier Bardem's character in No Country for Old Men.


Hilarious, when I read killer cowboy, my first thought was Anton Chigurh. You don't seem like a boot guy, though...

I got my Golden Goose sweatpants in. ($29 on that yoox final sale) and they uhh... don't leave much, if anything, to the imagination. Description said they ran big so to size down, and I figured I would be fine with the XS since I'm normally like a 29 or 30 waist anyway.

I think I'll keep them anyway for lounging around in since they're pretty nice and the price was right, but I'm not sure if i still want to make them into cutoffs to wear with leggings under.

I also got two other new things this week that are cool but I'll save those for WAYWT

I wear my Trickers a fair bit, but more chuck style kicks, mostly different types of Common Projects, including a pair of blood red captoes . Maybe there is a bit of Dwight McCarthy in there. Use your imagination.

I just think it's coarse and not that great. This is from the pocket sweater but the cadet sweater might be better. Either way, baby alpaca blows that stuff out of the water.

Aloha Rag has their Gyakusou drop. Cheaper than Tres Bien by a good amount, considering both will charge you for shipping anyways. Too bad that orange convertible jacket is sold out in my size...if anyone spots US stockists for the purple or orange jacket in small talk to me ;)
