I guess so. I can't believe I lost them and don't even have a drunken story to go along with it. Now I can't bring myself to by them again so have been eyeing the regular length flight pants instead

I don't think the 46 would be too baggy, maybe like the Roden Grey model, which I think would work for your aesthetic pretty well actually. My size 46 (RIP) fit me like the SSense model pics do.

Those fur collar Prorsum coats are incredible. In the words of David Cross, "remind me why I'm not selling drugs?"

LVR used to have very good pricing a few years ago but ever since they started that inclusive tax and customs nonsense their pricing is 20% above US retail.

I prefer to just follow the silly SF flash trends/Internet memes: non-replica GATs, Silent t-shirts, nail rings...I gotta figure out a few more, but I feel like that's a good start.

They tend to be relatively inexpensive, fairly decent-looking, and unlikely to be worn by anyone you see IRL. Also, I think it's funny for some reason.

Ha ha, yeah, gotta get on that train. I imagine a few will pop up in B&S in the not-too-distant future.

Edit:The reworked models they release each season sell for $650, and I've tried to buy those but even those are sold out at every boutique. I own a bunch of low tops and I imagined high tops wouldn't be difficult to wear, $1500 is a lot but $650 is a lot too. You can put sneakers on your feet for $20 at walmart, MMM doesn't do anything magical to justify it being worth $650 (craftsmanship wise). $1500 was worth it for the style and quality IMO aren't matched by any other sneakers, I guess this is relative to your income. I'm not pushing you guys to buy them, I don't have a problem keeping them. Anyways for me it's the same justification for buying kiton at retail, when one could find something of comparable quality at 1/3 the price. I much rather spend 3x as much on an item I really want then 1/3 price on an item that's not bad, again this is probably relative to one's income. Jordan Sneakers may be of value to you, but to me they're tacky, they could be worth $100 dollars to you but I wouldn't buy them if they were $5.
