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

[whorishconsumer]

Oh I see, was more curious about whether there was an actual story behind it since I recall seeing it several years ago. Someone should be held accountable.

****** quality wares and and unhappy labor conditions.

I'll try. They seem to be one size and modeled by a woman who is 163 cm tall. So maybe they'll be too small for you?

I think he wants to be talked INTO buying them.

Favorite color, love it, buy it. One thing to note is although it doesn't look it, these jackets are thin as hell, like vintage bandana washed a billion times thin. Great for summer tho

Also with the previous poster, I love the Ovie studio aesthetic, I followed them on Instagram but they post too damn much. Either way but it, anything out of that store is tight.

Yeah, I know, right? Too bad those jackets are crazy small. I tried on a size 5 (!) and it was still a bit too tight in the sleeves for my liking...

Thoughts on this zara cotton/silk polo? at $50 it's quite pricey for a Zara shirt but I haven't been able to find this kind of knitted polos even in the higher price range. Let me know if you guys know some good ones around the $50-$100 range

I like that jacket, but don't like the color. As Peachfuzz noted, the fabric is somewhat thin. You can get a sense of it here:

Sorry to have to tell you this mate, but the purple color is awesome.

COS cotton/silk polos are in that range, and fablus.

Alden Cordovan LHS loafers.

• I will only wear casually and wonder if I will therefore actually wear these.
• I am also concerned about upkeep, given what I understand about water stains, etc.
• I also feel scratches are more noticeable on cordovan, but maybe that's just my perception.
• Finally, I am tired of breaking in shoes, as it is a miserable process, and it doesn't seem these would break in all that easily.

So, why do I want these?

This style may not be everyone's cup of tea but someone talk me into buying these trousers:

Instead of chickening out and getting a slightly safer design (which also has the bonus of being a wool gabardine rather than a polyester):

Hope you went ahead and got these!

You don’t. Pass. FWIW, shell is easy to take care of and I have never encountered water stains.

Regarding shoes with break in periods. I have always wondered about complaints about this on SF. My solution is only to buy footwear that fits comfortably out of the box. Are you a difficult fit?
