I measured shoulder seam to shoulder seam on my L01 size 44 and got 40 cm.

Out of curiosity, I measure shoulder to shoulder on my brown leather jacket that I’ve been rocking non stop from Celine and it is also a size 44 and 40 cm at the shoulder!
Hi guys, looking to purchase a Blood Luster L17. I think that I need either a 42 or a 44 but I'm confused about sizing because measurements across different listings online are very inconsistent.

I am 181cm, 50kg, 43cm shoulder, 76cm chest. In addition, I wear XS in a Rick Owens Intarsia jacket and size 1 in a Julius jacket. Both of their shoulder's measure to be 43-44 cm laid flat across the back.


The man in this video is much larger than me, and he wears a 46, but according to your measurements, a size 44 has a 40cm shoulder? Would appreciate some insight into what size I need. Thank you!

Yes, I’m wearing my Teddy now - I’m specifically 125 and it feels roomy at…42. It’s the only SLP item on which I sized down, because it has a boxy look which is all the rage otherwise @ Celine at least a couple seasons ago. All I can is it’s super luxe. I’m wearing a rather chunky yet slim Saint Laurent hoodie underneath. I’m surprised it’s held up so well over time and is probably better to wear now than whenever it was first released which was a bit out of control in terms of ubiquity.

Trying some old Paige jeans with my SL37/Ms, do you guys think they’re a bit too long? Should they be cropped above the shoe?

I think you’re fine the way they are. Personally I’d crop them but I wear all my pants short.

everyone in this thread has thrown money away buying stuff in the wrong size.
its a rite of passage.

you just need to do it and learn.
I own the leather jacket from the picture above but it’s too big for me. Occasionally I’ll pull it out of the closet & shed a tear.

How have you been doing with your sales on the second hand market? It seems like hedi slimane stuff is less in demand these days

In general things are moving pretty slow, some Celine items sell alright but it feels like I’m giving away my SLP. Same goes for just about every other brand I've sold: AMI, Raf-Calvin, Rick Owens, Margiela... Only thing that has moved fast were some Drakes blazers & ties I put on ebay, all gone within the week. Still have some RO & a few other random items I've yet to put up for sale.

Seems to me like Hedi era tailoring has dried up on Grailed/VC, at least in my size. I've had somewhat of a hard time finding suits/blazers.

I’ve been more of a Celine & DH buyer as of late but I did pick up this fw13 coat. I’m ready for this frigid 70F Texas winter. (Yes I am Scrubby Doo)(My room is always a mess)

Have the same coat but live on the East Coast. I cannot imagine rocking this in Texas considering how warm it is there. I'd be sweating buckets wearing it in 70 degrees.

Not sure what the average price is but this one was $550 with the dust bag & hanger, I found it on vestiaire

Congrats on that steal, you must have stalked that site like crazy to get it for 550 since some reseller usually nabs it whenever there are steals like that vestiaire. This and the aw14 on Grailed always sell for between 2000-1000. I paid 950 for mine but 7 years ago.

Epic coat. $550 for it is bonkers.

Edit: did you lowball him? For some reason I'm reluctant to do this.
