anyone know where to pick up any april 77 suits or blazers?

im very interested in finding one - new or used.

cheers!

edit: also can anyone comment on the fit of cut of the blazers? if I normally wear medium (albiet slim), should i size upto large, or stick with the medium? cheers

is it wrong that i sized up on my colordrives? they fall off my ass, but are still nice & slim through the leg. i normally go the other way (size down because of stretch), but i actually think i like the fit....

^I sized both pairs I have up, so not to be skin tight.

If you go through the first pages of the thread someone posted a picture of someone wearing some sized up greys that looked really nice, so lots of people then tried them sized up.

i like em colourdrives sized up, overdrives too

dischords should be tight though... i think

[thelightthatnevergoesout]

sized up colordrives (sorry for the bad lighting, dirty/shitty mirror):

they'll fall off my ass if i don't wear a belt.

If I like the fit of my joey overdrives in 29 (albiet being a little loose in the waist), should I stick with 29 in some grey colordrives or size up or down? how about dischords?

thanks dudes

joey hi standard w26

[test]

stick with the same size on the colordrives, there's no grey overdrives from what i know..

hey, im thinking about getting a pair of the overdrives. The drainpipes i currently have, fit me like so:

and....

These are 26" waist, so i was wondering whether you guys think it would be worth sizing up to a 27" or do you think i could pull off a 26?

cheers

in my opinion, size up

otherwise just wear leggings, youre close enough. sexless rail thin males are delicious, but april 77 cultivates a different look, look at how Duffy from guns n roses wore his pants. they were tight, but not bowie lost in space tight.

someone know where to find a list of European retailers?

But colordrives fit tighter, don't they? So shouldn't he size up to get the same fit as his overdrives? I love my overdrives, I want a pair of colordrives now.

stonalisa...

in my opinion, don't ever size up aprils...

most of my friends actually sized down for the overdrives.

they're not meant to be baggy. so it jus kinda looks weird to me.

april of 77' is when the punk movement took off, and you're paying for that fit, so show it off.

Here, you look to be about the same body type as me...

these are sz 26 overdrives

p.s. Bowie is Amazing, Don't Hate

they fit true to size for your body type. so dont size up! they'll stretch a little anyway.

[Guest DUM]

[Guest DUM]

I'm fat nigga! You got a problem with that?

Fuck what was intended I wear my aprils while eating pork chops and dancing to nagger music.

[destructodisk]

More like eating butter covered pork chops while sitting still, listening to nagger music.

It's so nice being skinny.

Next time, I think I will size down 5 on my april 77's.

[mr fluffernutter]

next time i will size up to 34 so i can be like dum's lil sister

My little sister was killed by a rogue boat anchor yesterday. It's a problem many Americans completely ignore.

1977 was the heyday of the bands and style he admired growing up, so although he might have been born in the same year, i kinda get the impression the brand has a little more emphasis on the music side of things...

ex. (music note logo on cut&sew items, vinyl record tags, Guitar pick and pocket, etc.)

If anyone is interested, I've got a pair of black size 28 Joey Hi Standard's BNWT for $100 shipped in the supermarket.
