i just got a pair of "new rinse" .. not happy at all with the fit.. anyone know if these will shrink at all with a warm wash?

yea after a closer look it seems as if there were shoulder pads in a lot of the jackets?!

maybe another throwback to early 80's fashion..

 

The cuts of the jackets and coats are reminiscent of what 80's UK  post-punk bands wore (see the wardrobes of Orange Juice - whose lead singer and guitarist Edwyn Collins  was shot by Hedi in Jan of 2012 - Josef K, or Aztec Camera). 

 

Good catch.. just checked out this music video from 83 which is right out of the SLP playbook.. i can even see some SS14 & FW13 with the hawaian shirts, drop shadow plaid..etc

anyone order from the (new) EU online store? i never received any confirmation e-mail/receipt/shipping info..??! all i got is an order# at the end of my purchase..no login or anything to check my order either...wtf??

.. hedi's never hidden the fact he takes his inspiration from vintage items & thrift stores, it's pretty obvious and his recent move to LA has encouraged that even more.. but it isn't anything new (he did it at DH) nor exclusive to Slimane, many designers take cues from vintage period items (just look at the MA-1 or Varsity jacket craze) imo it's perfectly acceptable to take inspiration from a 40/50 year old iconic item, but a complete different thing to jack a designers collection/look presented only months ago.. but FWIW i do see the irony in dropping several K on essentially a shrunken flea find.. but I do like Slimane's lux interpretations at the same time.. i just wish the YSL name (and price tag) didn't have to be attached to it..

sandro have been ripping hedi for years but have stepped it up a notch for fw13:

i'm letting go a big chunk of my LVC stash, all purchased first hand at the (now defunct) LVC store in Paris in between 2008-2011. these are all in pretty much excellent condition, some like the 505s have been worn only a handful of times. proper wash & care, no crotch blowouts or anything sketchy.. these have got tons of life left in them (and plenty of fades for the most part!) i'll be sad to see them go but i've got a huge rotation (+30) and simply don't fit in these anymore..my loss you're gain:

can anyone advise me on the 60/30 sizing? website says to go TTS but the measurements for say a 32 read 34" technical waistband...whatever that means?! is the waistband stretchy or something? should i really go TTS?

As for the East vs. West thing, I don't know, maybe Japan is slipping but I still feel it's like thinking the grass is greener in your case. Would you really rather produce out of Europe if it was financially viable? Japan has the centralization, everything from the atelier to the factory to the store is an hour away and all in one language and one currency with one set of laws. Those are the reasons I've always chalked up to Japanese quality (maybe even more so than the obsessiveness on the part of the designers). Europe is a total shit show in comparison and the fact that anything gets made to any real quality standard is amazing. Most of it is getting outsourced now anyway, I find it hard to believe that the factories in Japan that have been making the same stuff for the same brands for 10+ years now or whatever have deteriorated more in quality than European brands that in the same time frame have gone from producing in their own country to producing in Italy to producing in Portugal / Turkey / Poland / wherever.

 

interesting convo.. as a European, i can chime in and confirm it does sound like a grass is greener case... MIJ goods are generally considered the ultimate in quality here.. it is true that the European high standards have fallen from grace.. France, UK & Italy are historically the countries with the most savoir-faire but that sadly doesn't mean much anymore... you need to check labels in obsessive manner for country of origin.. even made in Italy doesn't mean much these days as sweatshops have invaded the Milan suburbs. UK heritage brands have also started to outsource to China (fred perry, barbour, baracuta..) and even my beloved French lux houses, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Margiela etc now have a good chunk of their goods made in Romania, Turkey, Lithuania, Portugal etc ( this is an unfortunate trend i hope will change as the economy picks up... ironically i've heard it is the (nouveau riche) Chinese customers that are keeping European lux brands afloat these days.. 

 

All that being said, i don't think UC is representative of the best Japanese quality can offer, especially at it's price point. I'd have to agree it's cult status here has more to do with design & hype. We aren't at the fabrication level of CdG, Junya or repro brands..

I got the Yeez in raw, sizing was definitely a PITA but I ended up going tts.. super low waist and saggy but gives a good fit if you're not rail thin like the usual APC customer..
