The CM Graveyard: First Sartoria Partenopea... next J. Crew?

[Proleet]

The Oct Tenth SoH is different than SoH though?

yes regular soh is GY welted in Spain. Definitely amazing value. The oct tenth is a collaboration with a Chinese maker and is HW.

Speaking of Armani, they released a heritage suit last year:

I guess it didn’t sell too well:

Well I was looking for a 4x1 RTW, never thought Armani would be the one to deliver, only problem doesn’t looks so good...

It’s a tribute to his early-80s era. Unfortunately, it would look like a costume if you wore it now.

I would wear it on Halloween, but not to the office.

Here’s another one:

looks a bit better as a sport coat, but barely (imo). Also unvented.

Yuck.

 

[clee1982]

yea by not space the top button so wide it improved dramatically, but still big nop...

Both models look like they’re cut the same. But the pattern on the SC seems to work better with it.

Yuck.

Keep in mind that if we were working in offices in that era (I was a toddler), we would probably be jumping on that trend as well. Can’t underestimate how influential GA’s look was at the time.

And to keep the tribute going...

Yeah, hasn’t aged well, though. Trends do come and go and I’m really curious to see where suiting goes post-pandemic, whatever time frame that ends up being.

It doesn't help that the suit doesn't fit the model, the sleeves are too short, and the shoes don't go with the look

Anyone check out the latest planet money episode on the j crew bankruptcy?

any good?

 

[sushijerk]

any good?

Rather uninteresting from a clothing and trade perspective but I did not know J Crew used shell entities to transfer ownership of its own trademark around to screw over creditors to the tune of hundreds of millions before the whole bankruptcy thing.

Yet another debt-financed takeover debacle...
