I have sold all my black plain skinny jeans!!
In the market for new ones.
I want the SLP 15.5cms but I don't think I'll be buying those any time soon. Perhaps I'll buy another pair of N&F super skinny guys in 1 size larger
i find 17.5cms too skinny but it might be because i have the selvedge, perhaps in a different lighter fabric they may be skinnier
atm im waiting for this guy to drop the price on these dh clawmarks and some other guy to drop the price on this slp waxed

I need to sell all of my jeans. None of them fit the way I want them to any more  Or maybe I'm just looking for justification to replace them with wool trousers.

What kind of shoes are you planning to wear with that brown belt? Make sure that the belt matches the shoes you are wearing.

here is how I'm doing it

Left: Roberto Morelli's oxford style shoes (black polished) + shiny looking black Tiger of Sweden belt
Right: Magnanni's brown broque shoes, derby style + Canalli's brown belt, same color as the shoes

Looks great. May I ask from where you have these nice shoes?
|
Haha I have the exact same shoe trees.
|

the easiest way to match the color of the belt and shoe is to get them from the same manufacturer. I have a pair of Allen Edmonds Strand with a matching belt and it's a sick combo imo. Leather sole though, so I can't really wear them in the rain.

Now just need a lamb/calf jacket
|
so no clue if this is true because I don't really follow toj, but apparently the reason for delays is because:
drew invested the sales from the last run of jackets, wallets and day packs into his new restaurant and bought an M3 and now can't afford to make the jackets, so he is using his restaurant sales to slowly pay off the jackets to get made, leaving an 18 month queue
that's actually the funniest thing i've heard this week
|
where did you hear this from? Wouldn't be surprised since they don't respond to emails or provide any updates whatsoever. So much for promises lol.
|
It sucks being a short guy and skinny guy, most stuff basically don't suit me at all and the smallest size for pants (size 28) usually will hang loosely around my waist and is too long for me. Is there any brands out there that actually cater for people like me or do I have to go for custom made/ alter every piece of clothing I have?
|
Do any of you guys have any experience with J.Crew? Especially sizing and fit for chinos? I've read that you have to size down and that any cut other than 484 (their skinny fit) is actually pretty straight and not so "slim".
|
Why would you buy from jcrew in France though, shit's overpriced as hell
I actually heard the same rumour about drew a while back, can't remember where though. Makes sense to me at least.
|
That's a good point, but I was wondering if I should try nonetheless :p
|
You might have to size down one if you go for the urban slim which is "slim straight". I have 2 of those since there was no way the 484 would fit me. You can pick them up for 35-50 USD which is pretty much the same price as a banana republic chino. Jcrew > BR > Uniqlo imo for a difference of maybe 15 bucks.
