Lanvin's aren't a waste of money. Just that shoe is generic looking to some other lower price brands that look similar. If you spend that much money, why not get something that looks different?

But I digress, I'm a bit more prudent. So thats just my own opinion.

If money is not at play. I like the camo.

Yeah, I ended up getting a tank in mint and another in sky blue. There's an off chance the mint one is going to be too sheer, in which case it's going back.

I think this is gonna be the case with most shirts of that ilk, and you can't really have them altered without losing some of the details in the construction, but the details in the construction are the whole point of the shirt. Basically, unless you're sure you're ok with the fit based on the measurements (which should be solid coming from BiG), it's probably not the best choice.

Also, re: jacket debate above, I much prefer the NC over the YMC, at least based on those photos.

Yeah, it looks super boring in the second picture.

this is the problem with all the repro-brand stuff. I like a lot of it, but I'm 6'1 / 36 so it always fits like ****.

No, he isn't. He looks fuckin bizarre. It's just styled really well, and a coat of that length lends itself well to good styling. edit: find a coat with a similar length that actually has a waist to it and buy that instead.

An awesome (and somewhat affordable) alternative to White M and Junya or over the top? I kind of love it.
