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

[wogbog]

imo you can buy those if you promise not to wear them with slender denim notwithit!! (or at least not always) (because i think given your style, brown boots would almost always be preferable?)

 

[notwithit]

I pretty much live in LVC 501s anymore, so very little risk of slender denim. After I started running regularly, I found that a sub-8" knee measurement didn't feel comfortable anymore.

Thinking about these a little more, they may be too close to just being a bit with a sneaker sole what with the metal eyelets, speed hooks (why would you want both speed hooks and a zipper?), and pull tab. I think CP training boots and RO Ramones play in the same space a little better by hewing closer to sneaker norms.

They are really ugly TBH. The toe is going to crease horribly. Save your money for some real Black Friday shopping. Do not settle. (Stay strong.)

Arket snowjoggers to carry myself through the coming months?

 

[Superb0bo]

Did anyone try on/out any Arket products?

Yeah they were. At some point my feet got bigger and I had to stop wearing them.

I really liked them once I figured out I could take off the ugly logo patch with a seam ripper.

 

[FrankCowperwood]

I like them.

But wow there are strong opinions on these.

Make my robe game strong AF (Wings + Horns cabin fleece robe in winter, this robe in summer) by keeping this $525 Turnbull & Asser robe I thrifted OR take the $300ish profit..

^ definitely take the $300 profit. I feel like that shouldn’t even be a question.



I’ve been looking for a jacket to throw on that isn’t a bomber or an overshirt.
I didn’t like the fit of the Craig Green work wear jacket I bought.
Suede trucker?
I’m hesitating cos it’s Neighborhood so I’m worried it fits small like most Japanese brands.

 

[flowcharts]

Looks more workwear than your usual.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Yeah it definitely is. It would still work with a lot of Lemaire and some of the RG and OAMC stuff though.

I like it, although depending on your climate, camel suede isn't exactly "throw on" if its raining etc, or if you go to bars/play shows often unless you are willing to spray it down regularly. Have you considered just a normal denim jacket/trucker? Other suede truckers I've seen from non-Japanese brands include LVC and Schott, although those err on the denimbro side just a little.

My go to is an old Wings+Horns natural indigo dyed M65 Field Jacket in cotton, and a good compromise between a heavier silhouette and not being cold. A balmacaan or topcoat would also work pretty well if you are looking for something heavier.

 

[dieworkwear]

Jacket looks cool, but Neighborhood stuff is very much sized for Japanese customers. At least from the few pieces I've tried.

 

[dotcomzzz]

Both them and Wtaps run very small, in some cases more than a size. Shame too love their stuff.
