 Regis, do you own any brands other than Margiela? Seriously, is MMM the only stuff you like?

Margiela and Orlebar Brown for swimwear since I can't be far from a body of water. That is unless Margiela starts putting out some trunks. I don't plan on fixing what is not broken anytime soon though Margiela offers me both work and play wears with just enough "**** that looks cool" while still staying true to my simple and easy way of wearing them

Nothing's more hopeless that single-brand zealots

Thanks for your insight, Regis!

I tried almost everything before finding and sticking with Margiela. No joke I might of been all Nom De Guerre had they not gone out of business

I like NDG, but as someone who saw the collections as they came out 95% of their clothing was awful derivative streetwear junk.

Reminds me of bb1 and wjk. His stories of how much he hated his brother still resonate

I disagree Teger. They had some misses, but they put a lot of staple pieces from knits, to denim to collaboration pieces that were beautiful and well made

You think so? I can imagine there's a certain solace in it, and if someone finds that MMM fits them well and really enjoys the artistic vision (which is strong) to the brand, why not? Maybe they enjoy uniformity to style more so than diversification and trying out new designers' visions. It almost reminds me of the well heeled NYC/London guys who find their bespoke tailor and stick w/ him and only him.

This one.  @oboy_oboy
, the L would probably fit you, if the fit is similar to that of the cardigan.  iirc, you are about a large, right?  I think that it would fit someone with a 42" chest "nornally" pretty well.  Above that, you might be getting in the the "slim" category.  

Thanks Fok. Yeah, I'm perpetually between a Medium and Large in most things though w/ the trend in SNS I'm now more of consistent L with them. I'm more of a 40" chest but my M Fisherman is sorta tight so I think all new SNS are gonna be L's for me. Dig the Army Mix--didn't see many places buy it this season.

MMM

N&F


The Naked and Famous slim shirts are the nicest fitting casual OCBDs I've come across, well built too. Taking a sizing gamble on these MMMs, will probably require some tailoring but I've been after slim black wool dress pants for eons, hope they work!

Ive owned over 15 N&F shirts at a period in time "just got rid of the last of them" and the material on all of them besides like 2 was so uncomfortable! and there were loose threads everywhere. Beisdes the shoulders being tight and the collar being to big on me the cut and detail was fantastic. Not a bad shirt for the $40-$50 range.

I agree with the loose threads.

For me it was the sleeves that were too slim, and the back being too narrow. The shoulders were, IMO, really wide for the slimness of the rest of the shirt. I was wearing the regular cut too.
