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

[odradek]

Reverse opportunity cost: finally found a buyer for that less but better shirt that juuuuuust doesn't fit me right juuuuuust as i'm making my peace with how it fits me. realistically it's good that i'm letting it go but i'm appreciating how cool every piece of it (even the pieces that didn't work for me) is and i'm going to miss that cool. just took pictures of it with every appropriate pair of pants i own to convince myself.

[germinal]

can we get an update on your big cop, "secret" cop?

[odradek]

it was purchased in october and kicked off no-cop november. there is a waywt ~somewhere~ on reddit that shows me wearing it. it is rad as heck.

[whinefields]

anyone have any experience with marni shoes? i just bought these my girlfriend - i think they're awesome but they didn't have her half size.
if not, anyone know how velvet stretches? sometimes leather will stretch a half size (i'm looking at you - engineered garments vans) but i know nothing about velvet

[Syeknom]

I've been after all season is back in stock. Am going to hit Margaret Howell in sales but no idea whether these will stay in stock till then. Hrm.

[RycePooding]

Oh my god that thing is beautiful

[hirokinakamura]

the top half almost looks like armour, sort of wool chainmail

[bels]

Looks great but also pretty forgettable. Also I think COS have a ripoff.

[bels]

Idly looking around for parkas and saw this beast on The Beaurau

https://www.thebureaubelfast.com/shop/1 ... ol-is-coat

£1400

[odradek]

that thing looks fucking bulletproof. wow.

[Syeknom]

That is one hardcore parka, but that's a lot of pound coins.

What's going on with this

[hirokinakamura]

something something azn girls syeknom

[bels]

One Thousand Four Hundred Pounds is an entire winter wardrobe and not even a uniqlo one.

They have a "cheaper" fishtail (half the price...) but it doesn't have a zip out lining and instead has goretext bonded with fleece or something similarly weird sounding.

[ramseames]

It's $1700 cad direct from arcteryx which I think is cheaper than that. Still crazy money though

[Syeknom]

Shit there's a 50% founders sale at mr porter ()

for that price. Broguing is reflective like cat's eyes under certain light in person.



They also have those current season light blue distressed shoes even cheaper but I'm not so sure about them.

Help!

[bels]

Can't believe mr porter does founder's sales. So wack.

Are you meant to be cop freezing or not syekmoms?

Either way it sounds like you didn't care until they were on sale. Or at least I didn't hear you caring.

[Syeknom]

Not cop-freezing but planning to drop my cash in london sales so my money is to be spent on anything i want with a good discount.

I've been interested in these shoes since I first saw them in person as AW was rolling out but not €600 interested. Made a mental note to come back to them come sales but I doubt stocks'll last at the store here and their sales start at 30%.

[bels]

Buy them then

[thomaspaine]

Damn those are nice.

[ramseames]

pretty big day today. photos are abysmal but i'll take some actual fit pics soon.



fits basically perfect with a hoodie underneath, little bulky without which is cool for bombers anyway. dunno what retail was but I feel like i totally fleeced that guy getting it for $50+shipping, 9.8/10 condition.





kinda splurged on this one but the detailing is impeccable, blows the rest of my wardrobe away. retail doesn't even feel that egregious.

oddly enough apparently WM sizing got big this season. I was expecting to be a 3 or a 4 but i tried the 2 and it fits well, and one of the dudes who works there said that he's a 1 in pants now coming from like a 3.

mad musician

Don't even think I'm going to buy a parka anymore. All the ones I want are £600. Might buy one next year or something.

[midvh]

i can't get these out of my mind
anybody got an idea of when/if lncc starts their sale?

[Syeknom]

Those are lush in person midvh, highly recommend.

[kill-9]

this APC cable knit.



but I'm afraid of itchy wool. Or else a SNS herning fisherman.

[hunnish]

Don't get SNS if you're afraid of itchy wool. SNS is really hearty and tough and not very comfortable on bare skin.

[soundclip989]

Grabbed a nonnative pullover this morning for about 5,800 yen

[Syeknom]

Ooh, that button fastening is wizard

[hirokinakamura]

Visvim painter cords

[Syeknom]

What distinguishes those from "ordinary" cords?

[bels]

They're heel stabilised
