Not sure about the blue.... doesn't seem like it would go well with much.


Anyone?? I thought these would be very polarizing...

I think they'd look good paired with some gray denim.

If I find a 36 of the 5-zip, I'd probably insta-cop, that new one, would probably still pass at 75% off.


It is a 5 zip though, isn't it? Just with covered zips and triangles :shrug:
I can see why you wouldn't like it, just sayin. I think it might look alright irl, in a slightly different context

The original 5-zip looks more simple (cleaner) and better. This new version has an over-accentuated detail that goes all the way to the bottom and you really can't even see the zippers, just looks like two arrows pointing to your face. The new also doesn't have a paneled back and tabbed cuffs (which is extra long too), just minor details but it does make some difference. And basing on the pics alone, for some reason the 5-zip just looks more rugged.

RFX-both of those you posted are current season. The top is lamb, the bottom is horse.

melonade if 900 bucks is a ton of money for you, don't buy that leather - the leather is kind of cheap...(and god, is that roden model horribly styled in that pic) otoh, it would be a fun piece to have to mess around with, but not really a staple at all... and fwiw - i had that green bomber with the weird lycra or whatever panels from last ss. it was pretty awesome, but 44 and 46 both fit weird so i returned it...rock that ****
