was the it the blue denim shearling jacket or the red shearling cause I already have the red. Got it from sacks at 70% off

any regular tailor would do it way cheaper.... But then again would I risk a fw13 suit getting fucked up at all...

That's mr. porter, it's sold out though.

Thank you

The argument that it is "still Hedi's team designing" is irrelevant at this point. A creative director's primary job isn't design--it's curation. So even if it is Hedi's old team making designs (though supposedly most had left when he did), without him to approve or disapprove what makes it into production, what we get are products that are unedited, unfocused, and in poor taste. Hence why the T-Rex from SS16 worked (playfully irreverent, borderline ironic nostalgia) and why that horrible shark from Spring '17 doesn't (strange color combination, unnecessary text). The shark was a leftover design from SS16, but it was left on the cutting room floor for a reason. The pink-white-pink T-Rex iteration only found on one sweater in SS16, and not plastered all over t-shirts/wallets/backpacks. Without Hedi (or someone as confident or capable) editing and curating what the designers are sending out, we just get bad product decisions. Keep in mind this is a counter to the "Hedi's team" argument of Spring '17. If AV really had a hand in creative-directing Summer '17 (which I believe he did considering the distinct change in aesthetic), then I personally just don't like the direction he's taking the menswear.

Well said.

Wow, that's a great find on Mr. P.
I wish I stumbled across it; would've gladly purchased a L17 for 70% off, no tax, and would've paid for the overnight shipping/Saturday delivery.

They do charge tax now unfortunately, at least in California.

The end of an era and a final farewell.. with the score of the century

Damnnn. Man I always miss these! First the biker denim on barneys now this

Anyone with experience with the 85 boots? I think they were commonly sold in a "French" leather treatment that's basically a kind of wrinkled sort of finish. Appreciate any comments or opinions/reviews. Seems to be less commonly seen than the usual Wyatts. Ditto for the 60 (or is it 65?) boots.

Been told 30£ for having a pair of trousers shortened in a SLP boutique in London...

Doesn't that seem like quite a ******* lot?

That ridiculous, I pay around £12 at a tailors in the south east. A tailor wouldn't be able to stay in business if they can't even shorten trousers so I wouldn't be particularly worried about them messing it up either.

Finally grabbed something from FW16, after spending the fall stocking up on PC items: the black satin western shirt. Went one size up, per Mr Porter's instructions. Hope it works out.

Aside from the odd PC item, this may be my last SLP purchase for a while moving forward. Suitably enough fromHedi's final collection. End of an era is right.

Hey guys. Last week, I copped the black harness boots, and I absolutely love them. The problem is, I don't think I'm wearing them/can pull them off to their full potential. Here's a couple of fits (sorry for the bad pictures - my mirror at home kinda sucks for taking pictures):




I think all of the fits look fine, but I think the boots have the potential to make a fit look incredible, and I haven't done that yet. Also, I hoped to absolutely kill with them in my favourite black jeans (which I wear 4+ times a week), and again, I just don't think I do.

I'm still in the time window to return them, so I'm just looking for some advice/thoughts about how I'm wearing them, any suggestions of what to wear them with etc. Feel free to be brutally honest.

Keep them cause they might be gone forever soon. This is the best out of the 3.
