do you guys think it looks alright with a white button up shirt? gots a formal occasion sat night. http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/8394/img8254medium.jpg

Looks ok for going out but I wouldn't wear it for a formal occasion. Need something more classic.

[nlim3482]

would anyone be able to recommend a place where i could get some nice dress shoes?

what is your criteria? something with a slim profile? how much are you willing to spend?

[gobbledock]

a fairly slim profile would be nice so nothing chunky. willing to spend up to 500 if i have to, but if i could get something decent for relatively cheap i'd be pretty chuffed.

I've got a pair of YMC's, you can find them online for about 250AUD

Supply is next door to the Carhartt store, which is easier to spot.

And incu has PAM.

buy grenson from www.pediwear.co.uk.

Click the rushden collection, they should set you back about $250AU and pretty good quality for its price range. I think this is as conspicuous as one should get in their consumption! (personal preference).

Ah, been so busy wanted to get some photos but I haven't been able to get camera so sorry for crappy phone pics:

V&V Strap Collar Bomber:

Fillipa K

Collar Up:

Collar Folded Down:

[50_lions]

Both look really good! How tall are you man? I'm trying to work on sizing on V&V and if they'd just be too short for me.

[superhero]

Hey 50, im 187cm tall, and weigh about 80kgs.

I wear a size 50 in V&V if that helps

[DJI]

nice one superhero, the fit of that V&V jacket is on point .

[jbone]

50 i've got same measurements as superhero...

my seacoat fits me exact... i know u said your 6'5 so it may be a bit short, definitely should give it a go and try it on first though

[Ivans On High]

Superhero, I really like that Filippa K, the collar down looks great IMO. What size is it? Also, is there some form of snap to get the collar to hold that shape in the last picture? Could you get it to sit similarly whilst the jacket is un-zipped?

[50_lions]

Thanks guys... I really just think I should wait for next season and hope they make them a bit longer.

[melvin7]

50, FYI, the strapped neck bomber is cut looser and longer compared to the work jacket =)

[Ivans On High]

I'm with you 50, I think the length would really limit what I can wear it with. It looks good on super with all black, but if you had a slightly longer tee, and in a lighter colout, you'd be forever checking yo' self to make sure everything looked good, or you'd have a skirt flying out the bottom.

[DJI]

agreed, mind if I put in my 2c regarding the current V&V jackets too?

while they're well cut and great value for money, I think there are a couple of things that could be improved on. I hope JV lengthens the cut on some of the jackets for next season, as well as toning down some of the thrift store aesthetic (epaulettes, pocket placement, waist and wrist snaps, etc.). moving more of the production locally wouldn't go astray either, I'm sure many people would be willing to spend that bit extra for something made in Australia. overall I think it's a great first collection though, and I can only see it getting better in the future .

[superhero]

Ivans, the filippa K has two buttons on the collar, so you either:

a) button one button and fold down,

button both for it to stay up

It's not very structured though so it wouldnt stay up with the jacket unzipped.

I will be returning this jacket to DJ's though, it was $1600 down to $800, but if anyone wants to get it instead then PM before monday coz i'll be going in on that day.

[Ivans On High]

DJI, agreed. I think the current cuts, 'thrift store aesthetics' in particular, and price point will see V&V reach a broader demographic and most probably sell more jackets. This will hopefully afford them the money to see that their vision is achieved in later collections - whether its in this style or something completely different.

Either way, make them longer. Haha.

[superhero]

yeah, i think if my jacket was about 3cm longer I'd jizz from satisfaction

[50_lions]

Totally agree with both Ivan and D... I think moving away from the thrift details would be a good move too. superhero defs makes it look really fucking good though... just sucks for us taller guys for now. Although I do think Tyro pulls it off rather well in his pic, too.

gahh i'll just waiiittt.

[superhero]

yea 50, i read that you're 6'5" I think you'd need like at least a 52 to really wear the strap neck bomber coz im 6'2" and the sleeve lengths are really just bordering the "too short" threshold for me and I'm a good 7-8cm shorter than you

[James Vincent]

The honest feedback is always appreciated guys, I'm really pleased with the parts of this first collection that work well, but plenty has been learnt along the way.

[James Vincent]

This is how a 48 fits on me... 188cm 75kg

Raf knit, DH jeans, J.M. Weston oxfords

I think the shortness is just the style, you either like it or you dont, I think lengthening this jacket, without making changes to other dimensions would throw it off.

Google images of the strokes or something, and they'll have leather finishing half way down their backs

[James Vincent]

Random thought... I don't feel bad whoring myself across the different Australia threads... I lived in Sydney for 11 years and Melbourne for 2

[jbone]

JV the jacket looks supreme in that pic.. love them shoes as well

haha yeah, I get what you mean but I think in terms of 'style' for me it's harder for taller dudes to pull off. For example, it will most likely look a bit like 'oh he's too tall for that jacket' rather than the 'he's going for that cropped/short look'.

The CM leather I have is about as short as I would go in leather... I think if they made another without ribbing and continued the leather to the same length it would be perfect.
