  1. The Margiela trench is belted, yeah -- a trench without a belt doesn't wash with me either! Probably the best detail on it are the epaulettes, which are covered, so it's has subtler military styling to it than the usual, which is what drew me to it in the first place.

  2. Well-timed thread, this. Picked up this Margiela trench in small, from Dover Street Market before Christmas. Haven't worn it yet -- undecided as to whether I'm a "trench person" and thinking of returning it. What do people think?

  3. Hello. Hopefully there's someone who knows tailoring and alterations inside-outside who'll read this post.

    I am wondering how feasible it is to significantly reduce the size and fitting of a trenchcoat -- narrowing the width of the arms (which have buckles around the wrists), taking in the shoulders (which have epaulettes attached at the shoulder seam) and the sides (awkward panelling that meet the side seams and pockets close by) ... basically taking the whole coat down by at least one size. I often have shirts, suit jackets and the like taken down a size or two, but never a garment of this size or complexity. Any suggestions? I'm in London.

  4. Navy blue, id-height sneakers from Dries van Noten's spring/summer 2007 collection.

    Waxed canvas upper, corrugated rubber toe-piece, grain leather toe-shield, and crepe sole. Nice low profile and an up-market alternative to Converse, etc.

  5. Silver metallic loafers from the Lanvin spring/summer 2007 collection.
