small questions thread (use before making a new thread!)

This has probably been asked to date, but the rule of thumb for BoO is size up 1 correct? I'm a medium in Ervell and a 50 in Geller for reference, so I was thinking of going with a large.

Also is sizing this fall consistent with previous seasons? I imagine it is...

Yes, I'm usually an XS, but a S works just fine for me. Strangely enough, though, the jacket sizing is right on.

[geekbonchic]

yeah thats what i figured - what abut length? i'm in between a 36 and 38 but some of them are regular lengths and they're just too long(i'm 5'6) - and should the waist on pants be easy to tailor?

EDIT: also - what about with shirts? best bet would be to find some that are also fitting in the chest/shoulders huh?

Your jacket should just cover your ass. Too short is pretty easy to tell, but sometimes folks let their jacket get too long, which looks far more sloppy. Just make sure that it doesn't pool up around you when you sit down. Some tailors know how to take a jacket up in length, but sometimes it can be tough, as it affects the button stance.

Waist alterations are usually a real bitch and it would be easier to just buy a pair of pants that fit at the waist and taper the leg/hem the cuff as necessary.

i'd say they're slightly bulkier. a little wider and more padding in the ankle. not flimsy like chucks.

Does Dior make a chino in their jean cut?

[Coldsnap]

Hopefully someone can point me to the right brands. I'm leaving my job that deals with the music industry so no more wearing sleeveless shirts with my tattoos out. I'm looking for slim fitting short sleeve and longsleeve dress shirts. Something thats dressy but still has a sunday afternoon look to it. thanks

[geekbonchic]

Go to Uniqlo and buy a bunch. Otherwise, be more specific and ask again.

[Coldsnap]

I wish there was a Uniqlo in Florida I could get to.

i am obviously not going to find you an IDENTICAL bag, otherwise that wouldnt sell for $280. but there are hundreds of khaki/canvas long shoulder bags with pouches, find one that suits you

[geekbonchic]

Go to Google, type in "army surplus" and your zipcode. Ta-fucking-da.

Where can I get Kris Van Assche clothes in NYC?

An x-small "Fuck You All" t-shirt to be more precise...

How's the sizing on JV Chucks? Same as normal ones? I've never really owned/tried on Chucks before and I read everywhere that they run big. So if I'm usually a 9.5 in Nikes and a 9 in gr Vans, is it safe to get JV Chucks in 8.5?
