I don't know what I want (Buyer's guide)

[bels]

COS? that one brand on lncc with a name like... homespace.. or... normcore or something? Loophome?

edit: Fanmail

Actually every tshirt on lncc looks like that

Other shop own brand also has a boxy tee

[Bonobonobo]

I'm looking for a pair of light gray pants that fit loose with a slight taper, with some texture (but not of the wooly or sweatpants kind, more like distressed), less than $220. Bonus points for additional subtle visual interest on the front such as fatigue-style pockets or pleats. Here is a good example of what I'm going for, except not $400 and not so skinny at the ankles.



If you happen to see something like that, hmu I would be very happy!

[pirxthepilot]

thanks, always find cos tees flimsy and oddly-cut.
i actually bought some fanmail trousers that looked loose on the ln-cc model and when they arrived they were painted-on skinny (pretty sure i sized up too). so i think they've blown their chance.
other shop own brand seems a good idea.

bunch of M&S Autograph tshirts here as well whilst you're at it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/lay1969/m.htm ... 7675.l2562

[rublev]

was it the fanmail gusset pants you got from ln-cc? i was gonna get them 'cos the fit looks decent on the

[pirxthepilot]

i think the guy on the site is just tiny. i got the large (i'm normally a medium, 32" waist) and they were uncomfortably tight esp in the calves. like tighter at the bottom than a pair of uniqlo skinny jeans. might work better on you, i do a lot of sport.

yes :-)

OL glasses are on sale, ive always fancied them. is there a much cheaper and nice alternative i don't know about? are these a waste of 80 euro? i remember theese looking very good on me. sadly i lost the picture

also i just realized i only have two pairs of shoes and they're both white (adidas campus 80s and af1s) and both falling apart rapidly. does anyone who knows what kind of clothes i wear have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe some of those black and gold and white sambas

[harmsalmon]

Si/Sib this tite kenzo cord coat for a steal



e: Nvm i am weak and bought

[WalrusParty]

I have been searching for a pair of trousers with a similar silhouette like these from Yohji for god knows how long but it appears cheap alternatives are hard to by. My price range was originally <$150 but I'm feeling really grim that this is pretty unreasonable.

[bels]

COS or other-shop seem the best bets

If you don't mind going really cheap mkistore have something that might work.

[pirxthepilot]

yes best options at that price are cos 'relaxed fit'
http://www.cosstores.com/gb/Archive/Rel ... .1#c-22755
or other shop 'edward' trousers- slightly wider hems on these but you could easily taper.

First edition uniqlo Lemoore had a pant that looked like that one

ach, i like this look atm but feel like every east london fashun/instagram clone is wearing drapey qlomaire/acne coat. come winter i'll just go back to margiela/lang

Altering the proportions of your top coat and black trousers may not make you stand out as much as you think it will

[JewTurk]

Recs for cheap, sub $100 maybe, raw denim jacket? I was eyeing a Imogene + Willies wilkins jacket but it doesn't seem to be sold anymore.

which is your fave and do you think it's a poseur thing to wear these when I don't really care about Hello Kitty and just like the idea of a Hello Kitty x UC collab?

[haz]

can any1 rec some trousers that fit like this and

i dont wanna cuff - im a 31w 32l if it helps

e: @windowflowers i think dickies might be a bit too heavy for what i want

[BIGBEE]

What do you want

From these pics it looks like you want dickies

Supreme work pants are good. too better pocket layout and fabric than dickies . Im wearing some right now.

E: pic don't normally wear them cuffed but it's summer and bikes


I beat them up pretty bad (fixing bike, walking in the woods etc) and they hold up great

[trasparenti]

[soko]

Any recs for a nice plain tobaccoy brown corduroy blouson? Under 200 canadian, preferably.

[haz]

[pirxthepilot]

looks good. the more workwear-ish comme pants also fit like that but i generally have to cuff with them because of hem flare.

[Bonobonobo]

Thanks for the awesome recs trasparenti! Unfortunately I can't use them because I just bought a pair of Attachment pants. They're deeply pleated and have a belt cos they're huge. I'll probably post a pic once they get here.

[Copeland]

So I've been saving up since I saw the collection for this parka. But it's been so long and I've having doubts, I like the artist (Michaël Borremans), but I'm beginning to think that I'd feel weird wearing it and end up selling on Grailed for half when it's sitting in my closet and I need money. Please enable.

[pirxthepilot]

not like i need another coat so had talked myself into playing 'bela roulette' with this Marni (wait for sale, leave oneself open to daily anxiety/disappointment), but one stockist has already sold out ITS STILL AUGUST FFS. so... grey or blue?

[bels]

Should i re buy the PWVC ventile harrington that I got too big for? One is avails in the size up for a "good price"



Or should I just let it go? What's done is done? The past is a foreign country? Do I really need another jacket? Should I instead buy something woollen with directional design that won't work on the bike and thus never get worn?

Pros:
- Prada will get +rep from care tags influences like oucho and germinal
- Pockets lack fasteners so can slouch with hands in pockets
- Can wear with prada trousers and prada shirt for powerful brand synergy ranking
- Contains elastane for "improved bike ergonomics"

Cons:
- Probably overpriced if we're honest
- Ironically "ugly retro" design that only becomes elevated to "cool and hip" when worn by someone with suitable wealth signifiers is a bad concept.
- The bit that isn't elastane is polyester which smells horrible on me

OR


Pros
- Fit is probably more contemporary than PRADA
- Not cotton
- Have actually tried it on and can confirm I like it


Cons
- Fit is probably more contemporary than PRADA

[maj]

that prada check is way nicer, whistles one just looks like some tumblrjack print. if they're same price i'd go for the prada and if the prada is more than the whistles i'd get neither.
