^^^Did you size up? Mine just shipped and I ordered a XL but I fit in mostly M in Jcrew and L in W&H, Supreme, etc.

Got the Stephan Schneider jacket, at last. Unfortunately, it's too long and big, and I'm neither big enough to wear it fitted, nor not lanky and tall enough to wear to slouchy and oversized. Meh. Anyway, the first dibs got a PM. If I don't hear back from him, I think that there is a second dibs...

What size did you get / how big are you? I need this info for my mental database

This is the military blouson with wrapped hood, right?

 

[Adam24]

Paul Smith, the 'Nash' model. I don't really need these and I'll probably end up wearing them less than 10 times/year.. but at 140$ shipped (on eBay) for a barely worn pair, I couldn't resist.

I don't wear them often and I go through phases where I will bring one into rotation for a long time then retire it for awhile. Things like tees are too simple to interest me even though I wear them often, button ups aren't as comfortable even though I have at least 25 or so and pants while nice I mostly just wear my apcs because they go with everything. I love the tactile sensation they provide and the design variance is huge which are a couple of the things I like about them. There is also an enormous difference between a mall brand knit and an epicurean one.

Should start the world's first sweater museum

How are button ups not comfortable? What ****** sandpaper shirts are you buying?

 

[jet]

vb, margiela, jil, raf, ss, dries

 

[driveslowk]

A navy crewneck knit over a tee is much more comfortable than a button-up.

Some cardigans over tees or dress shirts flow well and feels snazzy.

There are some heavier ones that come out maybe 2-3x a year.

 

[driveslowk]

Button-ups are not comfortable because a well fitted one restricts certain areas when you move.

 

[KitAkira]

? All but one of my shirts are slim/skinnyish and I never have problems with movement are you guys trying to pass Boot Camp with your button ups on?

Maybe I just need to get all swole so I can experience this

 

[Nil]

All my button ups are tight in the lats when I lean or move my arms forward.

As for purchases, plane ticket to visit the family for Thanksgiving. Didn't really want to go, was actually sort of excited to spend it alone but alas, I was guilted into it.

It's nice to see Lodger making a foray into more mainstream market; usually reserved for Mayfair types with money to blow on 700gbp limited edition albeit beautiful one skin shoes. I quite lyketh the chunky soles to add grippage from the mean greasy sidewalks of Londinivm.

the other boot matches my ltd edition anniversary grensons and would fit aesthetically in my row of shoes/boots.
