one of the best margiela knits Regis!

@OccultaVexillum i think you've said you don't much like that coat but it looks great

 

[OccultaVexillum]

@robinsongreen68 i actually really like the coat, and it looks dope which is why I keep wearing it. it’s just not the best fit for me (tight shoulders and arms, the shoulder doesn’t actually sit on my shoulder because I can’t get my arm in all the way)

@OccultaVexillum how do those compare construction-wise to paraboots? I've always been interested in getting a pair of those.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

@KamoteJoe the only paraboots I’ve ever handled are the Lemaire collab (obviously), which I think were just the Michaels with a few tweaks. But I only handled them in the store (my size was oos) so I can’t really give a comparison.
With all that said I really like the ERKNs and am just waiting for a pony hair or suede so I can buy another pair. I’ve found them way more versatile than I expected and they are solid af and very comfortable from day one.
Size down one for the 002 though. I’m a US12 and wear a UK10.
The boots are rad too (CHCM has them) but they are true to size and they only made up to a UK10 so I can’t get a pair
Erik is also incredibly helpful if you email directly with questions.

I disagree. it looks fine as it is. He’s wearing the coat with a thin knit, but with a chunkier sweater the sleeves will move up a bit.
Plus he’s muscular so shorter sleeves would ruin the proportion a bit imho.
Regarding the button thing, it’s part of the aesthetic, the designer’s vision.
