Are there any other online retailers besides Context that have the B.Son Mock Pullover Heather Navy in a size medium or large?

[Electricity]

what kind of boots (and color of boots) look good with slim denim?

testing... testing...

[kunk75]

jeep, i don't think it will fit your shoulders from what i know. i have an xl that fits like sausage and you have 5 inches on me height wise.

I'm a 36" chest. When looking at measurements for blazers, how much slack do I need for a slim/skinny fit?

In dress shirts, any lower than a 19" chest measurement would be impossible for me. 19" is skinny fit on me, I like a 19.5 for a button up.

I don't need slack on the shoulders for a blazer right? I like a 16" shoulder to shoulder for my shirts. my schott perfecto is my only jacket and it to is a skin tight 16"

[kunk75]

it's hard to say as shoulder cut is the biggest differentiator when it comes to suiting/blazers. try on first.

I looked around but it appears Context is the first (and only) to have it. I imagine though in the future Tobi and Revolveclothing will carry it...

ya, i keep on forgetting to bring the tape measure when going clothes shopping. I always do my shopping online and I pretty good with knowing what'll fit me with numbers.

I'm going to buy a white oxford shirt from the Brooks Brothers Black Fleece collection, its slim, made in USA and blah blah..

white oxford shirts are versatile enough to dress up and down right? I know I could dress em down, but this is going to be my goto shirt for a while so I've held off buying a white button up.

[kunk75]

is it a buttoned-down collar or no?

[Leonard Leroy]

buttoned down collar is what I'm leaning towards. But they have one without.

[kunk75]

without>with a suit or blazer less you're going for a preppy deal IMO. looks cleaner.

[Leonard Leroy]

umm, i'll take it to the PMs

but on button down collars, I'd like to wear this shirt without a suit or blazer too.

[kunk75]

i just did. cheggit

[Leonard Leroy]

hrm, how do you feel nonbutton down collars go without a jacket? I just ordered those pants since they only have one in stock and less stuff to think about

[kunk75]

i think they go fine long as you button up reasonable and don't do the spread collar guido steez. resist the urge, even though you're in jersey.

annyyybooddyyy?

have you tried calling stockists for con and trying to get that actual coat?

also to let you know for the price that coat was pretty average. It was made of a rough wool and didn't look half as good as some other similar coats around the same price range and also by australian designers like beat poet for example. I would reccomend finding another coat, perhaps you could get an amazing coat that has been reduced from last f/w that is around 500..

[jeepster]

hmmm, but I doubt I'm as broad-shouldered as you are kunk. I am broad, but much slighter in the chest (which would pull the shoulders on you), but I can see what you mean.

Depending on what will be for sale @ Gilt when they have their Acne sale, I'll play it by ear.

Does anyone know how the Margiela trouser sizing works?

I am size 28 waist. Am I 44 in Margiela?

Thank you!

[SipaH]

can anyone help me out with some other brands that have button downs similar to the headporter X fragment one?

[morsto]

Can anyone point me to an online stockist that carries the patented black YSL rolling sneakers in size 46? I've only found diabro and they only carry sizes for azn feet.

edit: I would also greatly appreciate somewhere that has the CP black patented highs in stock in similar size (even though I realize such a place probably doesn't exist).

[geekbonchic]

kunk owns some CPs in large sizes. The rest have all been burned so that his are extra special.

[Calden]

Has anyone been to the APC surplus store lately? I'm hoping to pick up some shirts in medium. Is it worth going?

[theycallmetrouble]

you really need to try that shit on, not many blazers off the rack will fit good without tailoring. measurements only go so far if you are buying online. be prepared to return/exchange/re-sell stuff if you can't try it on in person.

[likkoffi]

Does anyone know how the raf vandals fit? I wear a 42 usually can I fit a 41?

[robgotsastaplerr]

question: does anyone know where to grab some casual suede oxfords/loafers without extending my budget? I'm always a fan of the oxfords paul smith brings out but they just seem out of my wallet range.
