  1. hi guys, i need some styling advice in regards to the color tone of leather belt and leather shoes/boots.

    Is it ok to wear a dark brown belt with a pair of light brown shoes (e.g. alden indy 405)? will it look awkward?

    Thank you very much for your help ~

    That's a pretty definitive selection I think. I reckon the 1915 fabric is distinctly superior to the 1933. The 44, 55 and 66 are all really nice.

    I got a msj from a SuFu luminary asking about the three pleat (check it out on the TCB 20s thread, it seems to have become a uniform).

    Given that this might be the last chance for folks to buy one I though I'd share pix and dimensions. Mine is a medium, summer 2016 production so probably what they're still selling.  Armpit to armpit is exactly 20 1/2 inches after (I think) a warm soak that gave very little shrinkage.

    I do love the shade; distinctly greener, and less black, than any other LVC, with a very open weave. I think if you buy this jacket, you should kinda do so on the basis that you expect it never to show wear, really! This is a very, very different jacket from 50s and 60s stuff. I especially love the tight, crisp edges on the cuffs, the incredibly short stitch length and the dull, muted colour of the stitching. It's very much a blouson; like a heavy shirt more than a jacket.

    [edit: sorry Bartleby for replicating your post, I hadn't seen it! You're right, the buttons are a complete pain, I had to restitch almost every single one... in fact i tried one on in the Paris store, a button pinged off the cuff and rolled off along the floor, after which I had to leave in especially furtive fashion. ]

    Got myself SDA's homage to the Lee storm rider jacket. The usual amazing quality you would expect of SDA. Look at that cosy blanket lining! ^_^

    nice jeans and superb fit ! may i ask how you purchased them? Thanks a lot !

  8. The difference on both those sweats it how the arms are connected. Basically the 401 has the arms stitched on two regular arm holes. the 403 has a "freedom gusset", an extra few inches of fabric cut in a triangular pattern under the sleeve that is suppossed to provide greater range of movement. Otherwise body and fabric are the same. The gusset doesn't necceassirly make a huge difference but is one of those neat little details found on some vintage sweats

    thanks for the info. and i guess the sizing should be the same right ?
