Fit looks spot-on. Is he still using the same deliciously soft cotton as from previous seasons? Almost wish I still had my pair.

Yeah, super nice cotton on these, especially the grey summer jeans, those feel the most lux. The beige grosgrains are ridiculously light weight and the navy summer jeans feel like a hybrid chino/cotton dress pant. I love the silk lining on the inside, gives a nice unseen touch. The only thing that sucks is that I can't see a way around dry cleaning the pants. Has anyone washed Ervell pants/jeans on their own with success?

^ tonio, what size did you end up ordering? Your normal size?

As for washing Ervell jeans, I've only dry cleaned them so far. I kind of fear washing them might ruin them.

Nice kops platypus

Kinda funny how even new people see how SW&D is split between Superdenim / SuperCrew and SuperFashion / Supershopper.

Holy crap, those are some great purchases. Love the Guidi bag.



Marc Jacobs ankle boots. Yes, they're kind of boring, but I wanted a versatile pair of boots that I can wear on a regular basis, and these pretty much fit the bill.

In the shirts, I ended up going with my usual size (small) and the fit was spot on, XS would have been way too tight. They are definately being worn tucked at my height though (5'8"), untucked would be too long. As for the jeans, I am typically a size 30 and sized up to the 32 and the fit was right for those as well.

And the jeans/pants definitely seem like dry clean material, but was curious. I'm not chancing it either.

They are both the lightweight oxfords, one is blue and the other is grey.

Love the Marc Jacobs ankle boots.

Picked this up at J. Crew yesterday on impulse.

Okay, thanks! Does anyone own the chambray version? If so, please post a pic.

kinda off topic but to me, boring and versatile don't really go together. Even if it's the most basic kind of item (like black boots) if I can't get excited about wearing it I usually won't.

@Platypus: I saw this stuff posted on SZ and then got really excited seeing it again here, SF can always use more people with good taste.
