those jeans are grey?

I recall him being annoyed that his local shop did not carry size 1 in The Viridi Anne. Since I can fit into size 1 and wear size 29 jeans, I would imagine that even many Japanese brands are too big for him.


It's true, there are even a number of japanese brands too big for me, Viridi-Anne Size 1 fits good though and Julius, Lad Musician and a few other brands also would probably fit fine going by measurements on proxy websites.

I'm a natural 27-28 inch waist so I usually end up wearing 25-26 in jeans and 27 in trousers, I do end up buying womens clothes a lot, though there are thinks you cannot buy womens such as suits, some pants and some shoes. It's definitely tough being as small as I am but when I get more funds I'll probably just suck it up and buy something slightly too big then get it altered as best as I can whilst keeping the proportions.

I think that happens to a lot of people on the forum in regards to nice items and styling

Not sure what specifications are approved on boat shoes so asking here.


I don't care about boat shoes, but I should figure out where the hell you are finding these deals at.

Shonuff doesn't have any special hookups he gets all his stuff from the clearance racks at bloomingdales at south coast plaza, I think his wife or somebody just gets him employee discount there. Occasionally they do a double discount but it's not much.

DL, I like the print but that jacket is a bit boring.
