does the fw13 oiled calf L17 have shorter sleeves? i’m 6’0 wearing a size 52 and the sleeves end like 1.5 inches above my wrist when i straighten my arms. i was thinking maybe it’s been altered but the sleeve zippers are the same length as other L17s. i’m thinking you would need to shorten the zipper to shorten the sleeves? from some fw13 runway/campaign pics it looks a little cropped but just wanna be sure
Hey i have a fw 13 l17 size 54 if you are interested in trading

Hello All,

Just looking into SL boots and found these on Yoox. I actually like the slightly squared off toebox, figuring it might be a touch more comfortable, but I couldn't determine what style SL boots these were, as I couldn't find anything else with the squared off toe. Are these older mainline SL, or something produced for Yoox at a lower quality?
Any insight would be appreciated.

I think those were called the Miles boot

I had these in black suede and ended up selling them because the shaft + buckle was too wide for how I like to wear my denim so I ended up never really wearing them

They are nice but only good with wider pants I guess. They go for peanuts on eBay so don't buy at that price on Yoox.

Has anyone here had any experience with handwashing or machine washing their viscose shirts? I have a couple of them and so far have always just had them dry cleaned but is that really necessary. If I could get away with washing them at home I would.

Has anyone done this and had any shrinkage disasters?

This has definitely been discussed in the thread, so if your searching skills are on point you'd probably be able to find some information. I feel like this is the type of thing that probably has a good youtube tutorial.

I see that cool leather jacket has popped up on the ysl website. It says it's "75% lambskin, 25% sheepskin", whatever that means. The dumb pins look like they come with it, as someone in the thread prophesied.

I always hand wash with Woolite. Have never experienced shrinkage or fading.

Unfortunate, but expected. They did get rid of one of them, for some reason. The circular one is also different. Would prefer it without the pins though.

Also noticed Anthony is once again out of ideas and is now recycling the jorts for FW.

Sizing advice on the Wyatt Chelsea boots?
Measure size 8 on Brannock.

Those jorts look weird with the blazer and that shirt

When the jorts were first introduced he styled them that way as well which makes sense because it's for summer. So you can wear a light shirt with jorts and when it gets colder in the evening you throw a blazer on top. I just don't really understand the vampiric top half with jorts on the bottom for the winter.
