I was lucky to find them secondhand!

I'd buy them third or fourth hand if I could, I just can't justify the price at the moment! But man, they're attractive shoes. Comfortable?

I'm a sucker for indigo and sashiko

Gerry this whole fit is AMAZING. Cat shirt is Kapital and jacket is BBJ?

Hey Guys. Is this a better fit with the Charcoal Margiela Virgin Wool suit?

With a MM Wool-Alpaca pullover and Mr. Hare side zips.

This is how I wear this suit out.

I originally got the next size up in the jacket and trousers but, even though they are designed "slim fit", both were too big on me. I looked like David Byrne.

@metranger8694 yes, that's pretty good IMO. Fights the urge to wear everything at once, which I think is the right choice. Or at least that's what all Regis' fits have trained me to think when it comes to Margiela.

I classify David Byrne style as aspirational, but I can understand that this isn't what you were going for here.

Thanks Frank.

I'm a big David Byrne fan but his oversized fits were perfect for him and the times. It looks wonky on my frame.
