Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

Haha, I could see anything seeming bulky compared to RO! What do you take as your usual size? I've heard that people tend to size down 1 on L01 to get a trimmer look, unless they want to layer heavily, but then there's this ongoing debate as to whether or not you should be able to zip the jacket.

I've only had leather tailored at the boutique where I bought it, and even then it's with the utmost skepticism. Tailoring the sleeves a touch seems reasonable in terms of tightening that seam, although I'd worry about it lining up correctly, the type of thread used, etc.!

Never heard of sizing down on an L01! I am somewhere between a 50-52 and I roll with a 52 which fits snuuuuuggg when zipped up.

My calf L01 did fit wider in the sleeves.

Thanks for that! I’m same as you and went with 52 as a little more of an athletic build up top. Appreciate the feedback

@nekromantik : fit looks good.

Thanks
Don't think the sleeve length too short?

Personally, I think they may be short for a dress shirt, but for a casual shirt like that I think the sleeves look cool like that. Do you plan on wearing the shirt under a blazer?

Nope plan to wear it under either a hoody or zipped cardigan.
I didnt know the Hedi wool shirts would be much slimmer and have shorter length sleeves then the cotton ones.
In the cotton flannels the sleeves are a tad long as it overs wrist bend.

I'm not a fan of the SLP flannels, but given how much people in this thread rave about them, I might just be weird on this. I actually like some of the leopard print and Hawaiian ones from this season, and could see myself picking one of those up. At any rate, I like the fit of yours as is.

Since people were talking about this a short while ago, I noticed that Mrporter has some Blackmeans biker jackets up on their site, and they're super tempting.

It appears that the first one has YKK zippers, which I know people tend to denigrate. But they look pretty amazing to me, and the fit seems to be really slim.

Not a fan of SLP flannels! Should he be banned?

Those jackets do look nice, but would you feel like a rock star in them? Half joking/half serious.

In fairness I've never looked at the flannels in person, so I'm open to the fact that that might convert me. I'm actually looking hard at SLP double riders now, even though my two previous attempts at wearing them (a John Elliot and an infamous TOJ) didn't jive with me. They're really hard to pull off imo.

those product pics don't do the jackets justice, they look even better in person- join the blackmeans club ?

I fuckin' love mine for what it's worth

If I were to size down one, no way to zip it but I know, it’s not really meant to be zipped lol... I’ll throw up a fit pic or two to get some opinions, I could be over thinking it.

Bro don't alter it. I would advise be happy with it, or take the L and exchange for a smaller size... or a diff season... I don't own, but I hear L01 fit very diff from year to year... especially the SS12. BTW, I can't close any of my riders... actually, one of them I may be able to close but never tried ha... the calf hair which I posted on the celine thread.

 

[Bill H]

Arrived today what do you guys think of the fit?
It's surprisingly different fit then cotton flannel from same season!

I like it.

 

[nekromantik]

Thanks both.
The collar does seem to sit slightly high on neck which feels odd lol

i know that the SLP bags / wallets have serial numbers that allow authentication - do the clothes also have something similar?
i bought some stuff online (flannels and teddy) that i want to bring to a store and see if they'll help me authenticate it, otherwise i'll return those items. i was wondering if there's anything that a sales associate would be looking at outside of an eye / visual inspection.

Yeh on the care tag there is a style code and of course you can also tell by the font/spacing texture of tag etc.
