I like the first better but really want to dive into that photo and fix your collar gap. The second jacket goes with pretty much nothing you already own.

those stutterheim jackets look nice but not really comparable to toj fishtail. One is a winter coat the other is a rain coat.

also $700 for an elongated Norse x Elka jacket

Chuck bass scarf would go well with all the designer stuff you have, though $275 is pushing it


Jil Sander black leather penny loafers (used) for $200.
Y/N?

No, what season? Probably churches

Trying out a couple of terry-loop jacket/cardigan (carjacketgan? blazardigan?) thingies.
(A) is a little lighter in color, two-button, and has the ladyfriend's approval, but it's dry-clean only. (B) is a bit darker, cost less, and is machine-washable, but the front quarters(?) cross when I only button the top two buttons. Not sure if a trip through the drier would take care of that.


Think first one is a bit cleaner, second one has a weird button stance, too high imo. Neither is hugging your shoulders though, think these are better fits for someone with bigger / bulkier shoulders

Forgot to mention - if (C), any recommendations for an alternative?
anyone know anything about these cafe'noir?


inexpensive side zips

I'd be slightly suspicious based on the sheer volume of the brand they always have on Yoox.

On the other hand, I think it's free shipping for all orders, so if you're ok with losing $6 or so on return shipping, you can always check them out and return them if they're no good.

yeah.. they have a ton of MOMA too, and supposedly they're pretty great, but I like the look of these best.. shame I cant find a country of origin. Might just order and do a quick a review for all to see.

oh cool! I ordered these a few days ago.. peeps raving about em so I'll see whats up. Thanks!


You remembered to size down 1 on them right? They run large, I'm normally a 10 but I got a 9 in them and they're still a little long in the toe box though I think they're intended to be like that.

Same exact situation on my end, like exactly.
