Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

John Terry's mum stealing there !??

[I just want this season to be over. I can't bear to watch anymore...]

 

[Haawy]

Considering getting this pair of pants. Yay or nay? Not sure about the fit though, does anyone here know?

If you want white, I personally like this Dries coat better (available in S still). http://www.ln-cc.com/invt/dvn010062whi (though it does kinda look like a lab coat )

 

[Caveat]

That one looks like a lab coat. I like the belted one, as long as you have the shoes to pull it off.

 

[sipang]

Yes to the Dries pants, I need some like that myself.

No to the Dries coat, it's too short and it's way too dramatic, can't see it working well.

I'm completely in favor of white outerwear though.

 

[pickpackpockpuck]

I'm waffling on the Dries pants because I think they might be too big and they have zips at the hems, so if they're long there's nothing I can do. I want them to fit a little cropped. We'll see. Waiting on measurements.

 

[sipang]

Yeah, plus zips might hinder proper fabrics flow and compromise hems structural suppleness, something that shouldn't be overlooked.


But I really like that collection too, I was just browsing through the lookbook and there's some interesting bits about the various exotic materials used, the provenance of the prints etc etc, maybe I should post some of that stuff.

And that white coat is not dramatic after all, it's just too short, double breasted trenches and the likes shouldn't be that short.

 

[pickpackpockpuck]

Yeah, which makes it tricky to buy online without being able to handle them and put them on. Internet shopping is

Also, not sure if you were saying that to me about the coat, but it was Dles looking at the white coat. I'm just interested in the pantalones.

Yes I am trying to find some, and it is a pain **********.

I like that Norse Projects white raincoat posted in RP yesterday.

Also the unicorn bless white hoodcoat.

There has to be more though.

 

[sipang]

Well since you're not averse to synthetic fabrics and are looking for a thigh-lenght option, Stutterheim stuff might be up your alley. I posted about the brand in another thread a while ago but here it is again

i really really like the white one, haven't got around to getting one yet. I would probably use something more functional as my go-to raincoat though. Oki-ni has some fit pics.
Here's the lookbook also

Marsell:

i saw those on sale somewhere recntly, marsell is pretty good quality, if you like shape then go for it

 

[notwithit]

Overall I do, but I'm (a) not 100% sure about the shape of the toebox and (b) not sure how much it makes sense to get these when I just got a pair of Butter-oh's.

100% camel hair jacket? $5 @ thrift store. Yes or No?

 

[KingJulien]

I don't really like the shape of the boots, they're too straight or something. I think if you need a pair of boots and they're cheap-ish (like under$200) they might be fine but otherwise I'd pass.
