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

Thoughts on this Kaptain Sunshine smock from last season? I’ve always been partial to things like this but I’ve never ever seen anyone wearing these kinds of clothes in public haha

more pictures here.

Smock looks horrible. Pass.

Poet vagabond, no thanks.

Poet vagabond, no thanks.

Agreed. Trying a bit too hard for the hobo fisherman look.

Love it

I find it pretty non-controversial, simple vintage mil/outdoors style. Might be bit difficult to style though if you don't commit to the look.

So @dieworkwear has me looking hard at Stoffa and 11-11 now and I'm kind of loving these patchwork pants.

 

[tdes81]

Also wondering how wearable these would be...

 

[Superb0bo]

^I find the pants to very "gimmicky", although I liked the brands entire slow fashion agenda. The slippers are nice, although very specific.

Pants look a whole lot like By Walid, not just the patchwork-ness which would be pretty generic but the fabrics and the way the patches are put together.

Stoffa has always been on my radar for their MTO casual wear, just can't afford it yet. Agyesh, definitely has an eye for interesting textiles and fit. However, I simply don't know what to make of the patchwork stuff. Maybe its the large panels that throw me off. Definitely reminds me of By Walid like @oulipien said. Still, If you love them go for it.

The chindi coats are my personal favorites from the new collection.

I too am thinking of some patchwork pants. Quite different than those though.

Thoughts?

The chindi coats are great, and if I already didn't have more coats than I knew what to do with I'd probably be down for one. They are a bit loud however. I feel like the patchwork pants would be a bit easier to wear and would fit well with the rest of my wardrobe. I have a thing for patchwork.

The paler patchwork fabrics look really nice, moreso than the darker ones IMO.

I really dislike those patchwork trousers from Stoffa - both the patchwork paneling and the cut.

There are much better makers of patchwork trousers out there. I would not go to a CM trousers guy for patchwork. It’s like going to a CM shoe brand for casual trainers.
