I love em. They have a slightly retro preppy look, with the trim. Nice. But yeah, I'd be reluctant to go 150 for them. J. Crew makes a cashmere/cotton blend version of their cardigans for much less.

second one is a little feminine, I'd go for the first.

Thanks, 2nd one is out, 1st one is a possibility.

Here is another possibility, from Yohji. Opinions?

My rule of thumb is that if I need to ask some guys on the internet if I should buy something, then I won't.

However, if I buy something, I probably think its cool and will post it on SF.

Looks like it is Yohji in a landslide. Let's see if I can make it happen.

So awesome, I saw a yohji mainline cashmere/silk blend double layer jumper a while back and the fabric really put it in a league of its own, unfortunately the price did too, at $2k au.

2k au = 1500 USD, which is not a whole lot for a mainline Yohji piece, especially a big fabric piece like a jumper. Still a good amount of money.

B store jacket

I don't like that it looks like rick owens rip off, but still love it.
Are b store products well made ? This would be my first item from them.

Bikkembergs, really cheap like 70% of the price, an acquaintance bought them in black, he doesn't like the color so he is selling them.
