Those perforations might be really nice for the warmer months, though I'd be really self conscious wearing them.

If I was young and full of money I'd kop so much CCP. His tailoring is really nice.

Yeah but you kinda need both, lol.

I'll probably pick up some derbies and tornado boots when I see them, and I'd like a taped short sleeve T and a long sleeve wire shirt too. All CCP wardrobe would be pretty amazing. His pants with the internal belt and all the handwork are just so tasty, the fencing leather is breathtaking and his jeans / casual pants are great.

I wanna add some CCP but it will be over time. Some of the stuff he does is just breathtaking.

Matchesfashion sent me a 50 pound gift card because they flaked on my MMM kop.

That's rather kind, especially as other times I've had to chase up e-retailers just to get my money refunded when things haven't gone through.

I feel pretty much the same way; I love a lot of the pieces, legitimately enjoy the aesthetic, but dislike a lot of the faux-highbrow discussion that goes on, and I find it all too homogeneous. I think I would mix a lot of it with my current wardrobe/similar things and be pretty happy. For example, CCP perf jeans (like I'll ever afford) I think could be worn in a lot of neat ways, and wouldn't necessarily require painting bloody tears on my face. Same thing with a lot of the leathers/basics/individual things. When people start posing with swords, I kind of have to roll my eyes.

I'm going nuts trying to find a remake of this sweater from a slightly cheaper brand.

I did find something that looked relatively like it recently for $25. The only problem was that it was from Baby Gap for toddlers.
