The Rubinacci Thread.

[dauster]

Well my “Manny’s” arrived today. Very different from anything else I own and the generosity of fit threw me. Something to get used to for sure as I just felt like there was so much trouser around me (and I did go down a size from my usual)

nice, back to posting Rubinacci relevant topics - they look great not as "dramatic" as I remember them

I have a couple Manny's. Love the waist styling. The fit definitely takes some getting used to. I'm sure this will be considered heresy, but I've had my tailor take an ever so little but out of them.

People do react well to them though. Have a pair in bordeaux that always gets complemented.

I will literally fight both of you

Larry David is a goat among goats and I will not hear anything different.

I don't think he's a goat he's only pretaaaaaaaaaay pretaaaaaaaaaaay pretaaaaaaaaaay good.

how is the raise compared to "normal" rtv? I emailed rubinacci for measurements but forgot to ask for raise... I think I'll be 52 but I really don't want raise higher than 11" I tried his casentino coat but had to return it because it's made for taller people.. (coat was too long, shoulders borderline too narrow, sleeves too long, etc...) too much to alter but can't size down because shoulders was just marginally ok over knitwear...

well they’re a high rise trouser, and they’re very much supposed to be. Mine sit at natural waist around my belly button. That must mean at least a 12” rise.

it takes getting used to, but it is very comfortable

well.. comfortable, yes... but when you take off the jacket, look is not for everyone...
for me, 11" inches is on/a tiny bit below my belly button, so 12" is too much...

problem with high rise trousers... you have 2 guys, let's say 180cm tall, one wears 33 waist, one wears 38... so the same model trousers on 38 waist will have much higher rise, while 33 waist will have rise as intended...

 

[shrink1061]

I guess that’s one concern, and I suspect off the peg tailoring is unlikely to ever suit someone of 180cm with a 38” waist. That’s approaching niche. I’m 175cm and between a 32-34 waist. I find they sit just right and look quite classic. My lady friend agrees!

Rubinacci Black Cashmere Roll Neck. I got it in size 46 which was sizing down for me because I wanted it to be very fitted. Sweaters in the "correct" size for me look too slouchy and usually not a in a good way. The only thing is the length is a little short but when I looked at the knitwear sizing for Rubinacci it didn't appear that sizing up would change the length anyway. Regardless, it's not too short so I don't mind.

This is probably the most brand whoring purchase I made in years since I paid full price.

Is that the the Tactical Turtleneck????

I didn’t invent the turtleneck but I was the first to recognize its potential as a tactical garment.

? when I went off to buy a black cashmere turtleneck the first thing I thought was “it would go well with the silvery gray sports coat I’m getting” and the second was “just like Archer”. Also he talks about having 10 of them, 5 in black and 5 in darker black and I get what he means; the Edward Sexton is definitely “darker” black at least in photos.

When Ray also had the black tactical turtleneck and Archer wanted Ray to change. Ray was like why?

Archer-we look totally gay
Ray- I am gay
Archer- Well I’m not!
Ray- then why are you wearing that turtleneck?

Classic stuff.

Finally splurged on some Belgian loafers thanks to the Black Friday sale

Does Rubinacci vanity size at all? I typically wear a 30/31 in most US pant sizes, but my actual waist is 34. I want to order some Manny trousers but want to get the size right
