Personally I like the first one a lot better, beautiful deep blue colour, and like dieworkwear said, the workwear-esque styling work a lot better for me. Never been a fan of the Drugstore Cowboy/Near Dark aesthetic.

Opposite for me

They've both got interesting fabrics. The Nine Lives is actually multicolored up close. Something like 6 or 7 different colors of yarn, though it mostly shows on the underside. Wouldn't be surprised to see some crazy fades.

The BBS denim is just supposed to be heavy as **** and has his usual dye stuff going on.

Patience? Now what fun is that?

Seriously, though, thanks for the input, all. I think you've convinced me the Nine Lives is the better jacket, which makes me all the more confident that my reservation is because it wouldn't work with the other stuff I have. Which is a very valuable insight.

Would like those without the transparent panels, which feel a bit cheesy to me. The colors are nice, and the shape is decent. Could work well in a very hypebeasty fit.

I passed on so many margiela knits with the elbow patches and I sort of regret it now.

the problem of the elbows is that it asks to match with another piece of the same color, eg a light blue jeans or a cream/white chinos will look strange. it also gives a more adult and informal look, and less casual.IMO.
