Ugh dumb celebs in SL is the worst.

The first collection was ss13, not fw13.

You do realize you have absolutely no ownership over the brand or its concept, yes? Although, even if yo dou obviously subscribe to some sort of creepy Hedi-cult, furiously masturbates to what you describe as the "truly hardcore" and constantly act like an absolute fiend, I kinda like you. You have quite the extreme consistency in being a d-bag, which I cannot resist to respect.

lolol. fatboyslim. you've made a grand total of five posts on this forum, two of which are essay-length personal attacks. here's an idea, instead of freaking out and calling people names like a two year old, maybe try expressing your own opinions about and experiences with the clothes and the ideas*

*if you have any.

What's the deal with the wool nylon blends? My understanding is that the nylon blends are technically superior in that they're better in wet conditions, but I can't help preferring 100% wool as it just feels different. The caban from look 1 that I've pre-ordered for AW15 is a wool nylon blend, but if I find out it's available in 100% wool I'll probably cancel my pre-order and find it elsewhere.
I think generally nylon is blended with wool for warmth - it's essentially the difference between something like the wool duffle, which is not made for very cold temps, and the pea coat your talking about which is probably made for more winter climates.

Nylon is usually used for strength. They may or may not be better in wet conditions, and may or may not be better for cold weather - those depend much more on a combination of density of weave, surface treatments, and the thickness of the material. For the most part, SLP peacoats are going to be "okay" for truly cold weather, but they are not designed to be used on the high seas or anything. Military naval peacoats were originally made from 32 ounce melton. Some newer peacoats are made from 24 ounce melton. I haven't inspected the SLP ones in person, but I would expect that they would not be above 21 ounces. Many peacoats from fashion brands are meant to be for inside as well as outdoor wear, and are in the 18 ounce range, which is heavy for suiting and/or jeans, but not for coats.

They screwed it up. Mine are stamped the actual size of the boot.

Nice. I have that red and ivory linen blend pocket t-shirt from AW13, and had the bleached jeans from SS14 too. I really like both of those items, but I ended up selling the bleached because they were too big for me, even after sizing down to a 28. Seems like the outlets have some decent stuff. The one here in the UK didn't have a great deal when I visited.

That blazer is really stunning.

Thanks man. It was about 70% off.

I'm sorry only a 32 and a 33 were available, and I bought both. I can tell you that they had cream and white raw D02 in size 30 if you're interested. They even had black d05, high waisted and skinny, just like the new FW15 ones. I was so ******* excited when I found out it was my exact size, just to find out when I tried them on that the waist was so high that I couldn't button it lol.

Sounds to me like he's a 45, and they put 44 shoes in his 45 box, so they actually put the wrong shoes in the right box... much bigger difference.

How much were the white? Might consider them if they are cheap enough
