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

[zissou]

Great looking shoes, shah. I especially like the brown pair. It's funny to see MOMA grow in popularity when they were the shoes I wore when I first joined SF. (granted, they were split toe chukkas, but still)

Dramatic alterations rarely work out, in my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience. It's like trying to have the shoulders taken in on a blazer; you can do it, but you probably shouldn't.

I decided to say what the hell and go for it. Rather than think about what else I can/should buy, I'm going to focus on making the things I own enjoyable. It's an unstructured linen jacket, and I really just wanted the sleeves shortened at the shoulder. Then, the tailor started talking about mostly disassembling the jacket, and then have me come in for a fitting before reassembling it. She's altered a few pairs of trousers for me, and I've been happy with them. So, I'm fairly confident...

reversenabling alert ! post has been reported.

i am leaning toward the browns, i think the smooth leather is much nicer.

quality of leather isn't fantastic but of couse you get what you pay for -- moma is probably a good entry into the bulbous realm. but they are surprisingly comfortable

That's what I thought about mine, but you all shamed me into donating them to the local thrift store.

 

[snowmanxl]

What? We did no such thing..did we?

I like the brown, even with they eyelets. The leather shines nice off the beautiful bulbous toe

Mr Shah, while not personally a fan of "the bulb toe" I can see how they go well with le chemineau chic. I lean toward black just because I think it will go with more stuff.

zissou, I've recently had a few things altered (fairly complicated stuff) and can't say how happy I am now. Funny how just a centimeter here or there can make a huge difference... from a jacket that just hung lonely in the closet to one I now can't wait to wear.

 

[zissou]

Great to hear, Parker. The jacket is very nice, but really unwearable with sleeves that were two inches too long. I thought the shoulders were fine until she started pinning them a little narrower. I'll definitely post a photo after it's done.

I'm realizing, finally, that I have enough nice clothes to last about a decade at least (save for the occasional new shirt and socks/underwear), so I'm just trying to enjoy what I have more.


snowman- yes, but they weren't actually that great anyway

Love the color and cut on these... If so, what footwear should I wear with them??

Ahhhhh see you've joined the MOMA club. Glad to have enabled your entry!

Those will mesh really well with your style I think, I'd suggest keeping both pairs, considering the price.

Last thing that I want to add is a decent sweater. Thoughts on this one from Roberto Collina?

I was also considering getting it in yellow instead...
