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

[Zassiliss]

I own a few knits by them, typically TTS and really nice quality.

@Zassiliss whats true to size though if it’s numeric?

This flannel has popped up in the Uniqlo thread, one of the nicer ones I've seen this season (at the lower end of the spectrum)

It's cheap and basic. If you like it buy it. Simple.

Already have, I was posting it in reply to another post talking about flannels

Considering these but I have no experience with FDMTL. Should I or should I look for another maker?

too hokey

@jtorres94 it's too much. Did you look at the atelier & repairs or 18 east versions? I think blue blue Japan did it too but don't remember how it turned out.

Probably should go with something with less, so Atelier & Repairs is a good direction. Didn't even think of Blue Blue Japan but i know they do patchwork jackets

Junya Watanabe does the best patchwork denim. I don’t mind that FDMTL pair if that is the look you are going for, but might as well go with Junya.

Atelier & Repair does good work also, but more subtle and a completely different aesthetic.

I'm not a stickler for authenticity, but I prefer ones that look a bit more authentically repaired. B-Sides does this for womenswear, and the fits are a bit more high-waisted and cropped. Don't know if they would work in a men's outfit, but you can basically buy used jeans like this at a local thrift, then bring scraps of denim to your local alterations place and have it repaired. These jeans below, which are $350, are basically just recycled vintage.

All of mine are a size 3, which is roughly a large. They're also pretty regular fit too--not too oversized, and I have 19'' shoulders and a 41'' chest if that helps. Haven't seen any of their bottoms though.

Thoughts on Nonnative guardian vest in black.

Looks cool in the pics but not so sure about in real life.

@Timbaland I would pass on the NN vest. Seems rather boring. To me, it does not add much to the fits in the photos.

Also, depends if you are a vest wearer. I have a couple of EG vests that I bought with the best intentions, but find I never bother to incorporate them into anything I am wearing.

 

[Timbaland]

Thanks, I'm pretty much a t-shirt and pants guy and wanted something else up top for layering. I hear you on EG vest thing, I'd probably do the same thing.

I got this NR Geneve jacket from yoox and it looks like it fits a half size big, but not terrible. Should I keep it? Usually a 42R and this is an XL.
