  1. ^i was just thinking they would be like the sweatshirt. don't really care about the cut but the fabric on the hoodies seems lighter and doesn't retain the shape as the one's they use in the runaway. same thing with the cotton jacket. i'm just pretty bummed with my seven pre order.

    I hear ya, handled the hoody in person and it's really cotton-y...

  2. That hoody was not featured on the runway. If you look at the hi-res photos here, the "master craftsman" hoody has similar sleeve seams to the "dead prince college" jumper -- the "memory ware collector" seems to be a different cut alltogether, with drop-shoulder seams like the oversized short sleeve tops.

    By the way, Barneys has the cropped duffle in sizes 34-40 for $1620.

  3. i think you're just used to low rise jeans. pull up the trousers all the way and then hem them accordingly?

    This.

    You have to keep in mind trousers are not meant to fit like jeans. They are usually cut with a higher rise and fit looser through the leg. There are a few notable low-rise exceptions (Lad Musician "slim slacks," certain Balenciaga cuts, and these Jil Sander trousers come to mind) -- we'll come back to these later.

    If you are used to wearing untucked tops and skinny jeans, swapping your bottom coordinate for a pair of dress pants is going to make you feel very uncomfortable.

    That said, dress pants are designed to be worn with shirts tucked in, creating a silhouette that sets your waist higher and creates a graceful line down to the hem. This lengthens your figure in a different but good way.

    I find that there's much less room for error when tucking, so the fit of your top coordinates becomes much more important. With less visual torso length, you'll want to pick a shirt with enough volume to balance the size of your face and your desired leg silhouette. At this point, it's about figuring out what works for your own proportions.

    Jumping back to the aforementioned low-rise pants -- you want to be careful with them. Low rise pants make your waist block look small, and without a longer top hanging over to equalize your proportions, they are really unforgiving. If you don't have a very slim torso, long skinny legs, and a smallish face, you will look very frumpy when you tuck your shirt into them.
