lightweight wool miharas. the material feels amazing, and i'm now convinced that tropical wool kicks cotton's ass when it comes to summer fabrics.

only downside is they're kinda outlandish. the fabric has a sheen, which you can see. What you can't see is the outseams are "reversed," which will take some getting used to if I decide to keep.

But yeah. tropical wool. get on that ****.

[GBear]

^ Haha, that is no surprise. It definitely reminds me of the Caribbean.

I have those in my dreambox as well, B!CD

I opted for a pair of linen cotton blend instead

Which ones did you end up buying?

 

[yipjam]

Engineered Garments Shawl Knit Sweater. Although I do wish the materials were a bit better, it's boxy, voluminous and awesome. There's still a couple on sale at Context and I'd highly recommend it at 50% off.

Nudies Tape Ted in black. The High Kai's are just ridiculously skinny in the thigh.

damn didnt even know nudie had a cut like that...

 

[Jabonator]

Think High Kais are for girls.

Yeah, I got a 28" waist version of the High Kai's, the Tape Ted's I ordered are a 26" waist and they're still a bit bigger.

Think High Kais are for girls.

They're fairly unisex as far as I know. Definitely not cut with large hips in mind.

The boots are sadly too small, and the Corner won't let me just exchange them for a size 45, which means that the 30% code I used won't apply. I understand their rationale, but frankly I can't imagine why they think this is good business practice. I'm not going to pay another $120-something right now, so we're both probably losing out unless someone opts to buy the ones I return immediately. edit: the Corner will do a 30% price adjustment on a new order, so hell yeah customer service.

The jacket is Rag & Bone; I found it hiding in a re-sale shop nearby, and I got to haggle it down to a seriously good price. I just need the proper boots (dammit) and shirts to wear with it now.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I know where you got that. Been eyeing forever but the price was just insane. Good job talking them down.

I think my order went through...

I totally stole cyc and synth's idea and picked up that silk Boglioli suit. It's got a Bryan Ferry vibe and it's bluer than I thought which is fine by me. The sheen is great. Pants fit perfectly. Jacket is a skosh large, but will be fine after my tailor gets his paws on it. Price was about the same as a couple of cocktails at the Connaught.

 

[Synthese]

Very nice.
