Apologize for photo dump ahead of time, and cringe photos.

Recent purchases need to know if you guys think they fit.
1.) aura lee silk bomber size 4 (it’s labeled as oversized, but the shoulder area sticks up sometimes (maybe this will subside?))


2.) still by hand cotton jacket + matching pants size 2


3.) Barena ripstop jacket + pants (love the jacket. - the pants have a low drop crotch + short inseam with a heavy taper below knee.
Size 50 jacket 46 pants no idea how to wear the pants do I wear them at belly button, low waist? And don’t know what shoes to pair them with either. In the mirror pic I’m folding waist line so it’s less off a diaper butt...

I like how all the jackets fit. I’m not a fan of the fit of the pants but that may be a personal preference since I don’t care for too much taper.

The barena pants right? I don’t like them for that reason too...

1) Aura Lee silk bomber: I like this item best on your list. I think the shoulders look fine.

2) Still by Hand cotton jacket and pants: I think this looks good, but I imagine it was quite expensive. I feel like the jacket is probably a bit ho-hum for what I imagine to be the price. If those pants are the same ones you're wearing with the Aura Lee bomber, I like their shape

3) Barena jacket and pants: Most meh on this. I also think the pants are too slim and tapered.

Yooo! I got an insane deal on the still by hand. Final sale. Paid less than 300$ total for both jacket + pants. Normally 550 for jacket and 350 for pants

yeah imma sell the pants. I like the jacket it’s kind of dirty and wrinkly right now, but it is a solid basic imo. I plan to wear with some khaki fatigues and those Paraboot x arpenteur boat shoe/timberland looking shoes.

The silk bomber looked BIG in the 1st photo...
It must have took some courage throwing it in the dryer, because it looks great in the rest of the photos.

I like how all the jackets fit. Agree most meh about barena pants, but still not bad- diaper butt is a look, and can be embraced

New to SF, hi everyone. This Man-tle jacket has been on my mind. I love the fabric + shape, just having a little of a hard time imagining how it'd look on top of my mostly navy / blue wardrobe, in particular what tops/shirts to wear under.

I would wear that just like a chore coat. Would do that with a chunky cream sweater, some faded raw denim blue jeans, and then almost any kind of casual shoe -- Paraboot Tyroleans, some brown field boots, or white sneakers

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I was thinking, I just wasn't 100% sure the more stylized look of the jacket would mesh well with workwear staples. Where are the boots you posted from, by the way? I've been looking for a low-key pair of black boots and those look similar to what I want.

didn’t put into dryer. These photos are a minute apart. In fact I hand wash and air dry literally everything (including t shirts), besides gym clothes and underwear/socks. I’m super paranoid.
