Which one is the "good"/slim fitting vest? I can't figure it out on the web store. Trying to avoid the shiny garbage bag look if possible.


I have the quilt one coming tomorrow, i saw it in some magazine while getting my hair cut. It looked pretty good. Although they were sold out in all Smalls, so I had to get a medium which will probably be too large on me.

do stores still carry their striped oxfords + extra fine oxfords?
online does not :[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[


Nope, had suddenlee check the extra fine for me this weekend and they have none in the stores. Guess they rotated it out because its considered light fabric.

they need to do a better job restocking on the site


I know right, practically everything sold out.

I'm really not one for chinos but I got a pair just in case, not sure if I'll keep them now. I'm a ~32" waist and I got them in 30. They fit snug but feel like they'd stretch out comfortably. The rise on my pair is more like 10", otherwise the site measurements are pretty accurate.
The fabric has a kind of fuzzy/napped texture to it, almost moleskin-like; it isn't smooth and flat like a typical twill, so I wouldn't want to wear them in warmer weather. Also seems like it picks up lint easily because of that.
I haven't worn them yet so I can't report on how they break in.

if anyone cares:

the blocktech fullzip jacket fits a little big: I have mediums in all the shirts, sweaters, and whatnot, but got a small in this

sweatpants also seem a little bigger than the size chart says on the US site. The medium size sweats are about an inch longer than according to the chart

the navy heattech fairisle beanie actually looks more like purple (but fits fine)

Yup

So, does anyone actually own the twill jeans aside from me? Wondering if the thigh will stretch.

I had to size up on my twill jeans, but ymmv. The thighs stretch like any other pair of jeans, but I keep mine washed so it shrinks down. I'm normally between a 32-33 and I sized 33. I could probably do a 32 no problem but I preferred the slouchier fit. To be honest, the powdersoft overdyed black jeans I sized up to a 33 in are way too big in the waist and I'll probably have to get a 32 or the waist altered.

I picked up green, gray and black.

31 I tried on back in Aug/Sept were way too tight. I tried on the 32x34 real quick and found them comfortable, but now I'm wondering if a 33 would have been better. I think we the same size. :fu: which means I probably would be better suited in a 33. My bro thinks these are skinny jeans and I keep telling him they slim fit. #dead

Well my TTS I would say typically is 32/M/48/38. So, sounds like I need a 33 :fu:

You guys in the bay think it would be safe to take the BART this weekend, Sat.? Takes an hour for me to get to Powell.
