Thanks @tdes81 @NO MERCY @kjb

Yeah, @tdes81 it's ts(s). I really wanted the waffle cardigan when I saw the lookbook before the season, but ultimately decided against it. I think the parka/hoodie looks really cool and have been digging longer pieces lately. The drug rug look is something I'm going to have to get used to, though haha

Let @cyc wid it buy this and use it as a throw, while you buy that blanket and use it as a shawl.

I almost bought that RRL cardigan too... already have too many thick knits though. Half of California is still on fire and it's 97 outside right now.

Anyone know how the sizing runs on their hand knit cardigans? I wear L in their western shirts and was thinking L for this, but it looks like this might run small from the measurements on Matches (which seems odd)

Large should work fine it has a lot of give to it. And yes, go for it:

Is the build quality on the EG x Vans collabs pretty much equivalent to regular Vans? I'm guessing the price premium is mostly for the design right.

It's a Vans Vault collab, which I believe is slightly "higher quality" than the usual Vans collection. But I don't know the differences between Vault and mainline. I have a pair in white and like them, but they do get dirty easily, so I clean them with Jason Markk's sneaker cleaner. I dig the style. Also, people will absolutely comment on how you're wearing mismatched shoes.

Deciding on whether to keep this jacket trouser combo from Séfr. Intention to use it as a casual suit to either dress down with a tee (and possibly low profile sneaks) or dress up with a shirt but I'm concerned the wide peaky lapels restrict it more to the latter so I would like some thoughts on the below look.

Lack of side pockets on the jacket is a bit annoying but the fabric is pretty gorgeous.

I think the suit itself looks really good on you. Can't see texture, but think a plain white tee doesn't really do it justice. However, tees of other colors, and/or with more interesting texture, I think would work well.

Cheers, the texture is a sort of micro-corduroy and quite shiny, none of the product photos really do it justice.

I see what you mean with the white tee, it's a bit cold next to the radiant suit. I reckon a cream or pale pink would work better for that end of things. I think I'll keep.
