I think the sweater is making me look chubbier than I really am. I don't have the massive love handles that sweater seems to show. I can't really start lifting as more upper body mass is the opposite of what I need to do for cycling. I just need to be better with my diet (nights out are killing me right now) and shave the fat so I can look like this guy.

Your last two points are kind of contradictory. I can't try uniqlo **** on because I don't live in New York. I'd like to take a trip there at some point, but it isn't really in the cards right now.

A good direction for you would be to start emulating Kvc06 style. Get slimmer chinos, wear some bootymabobs, grow hair out slightly and you can do that college kid hunter/gatherer steez. Seriously, emulate him.

I actually like his style and we both picked up the same jacket a few weeks ago (totally on accident, although I think his fits a little better), so I'm off to a good start. I'm telling you guys my hair looks wack grown out though. But I'll let it go for a bit and throw up some pics.

Thanks. It's TOJ, Levi's 511 cords, and navy nubuck CPs.

I like that, nobunny. What's the bottom? Digging the hair, too.

Synth: Hehehe, I have sinned.. both scarf and sweater is from D&G. Warm as **** and good-looking garments, though. Helps me get through the -25 celsius days......

 

[softy]

I'm a little disappointed to discover that it's a scarf + sweater. Was hoping for super shawl sweater, but oh well. You look is pretty austere/severe, but it works for you.

[softy]

I think I'm also getting a cpo shirt jacket type thing for christmas and I just got a green utility jacket (the one kvc wears), so I think I'm going to pause on outerwear for a while. Next year I'll look into something similar to softy's jil coat (that thing is dope).

 

[Synthese]

Nix a peacoat, get a capable hairdresser, look at aeglus and mellowfellow and hordes of other super-stylish self professedly "short" dudes for how to not look stubby.

Did anyone get a chance to check out Bally's F/W knits for this year? They're not super original, but stunningly nice in person. Holy crap. Additionally, I was not impressed with prorsum's seeming outerwear quality, but, Nobunny, everything I handled from D&G this year (and gucci) seemed absolutely stellar (if not exactly my joint).

And, on a related front, Zara has like a department devoted to seam-for-seam prorsum rips. Oh, and some Rodarte sweaters with this hideous acrylic yarn. Shameless, and barf-worthy materials. That being said, too bad the closest one is in New York.

gonna tuck R&B long johns into ma socks into ma CP boots for all y'all tonight, just so you know. Additionally, progress on the linen fremen robe is going swimmingly, thank you very much for asking. Basting is done; time to fire up the machine, line it, and get some horn toggles up in this *****. Mm-mm.

Could you try this one next, Synth, dear?
