Something like this?

Spoiler

Not my jacket. I'm not rich, internet.

Dear lord lol

Steal it and wear it to the next meet

Doesn't seem like you guys ever talk about Lanvin. Even on sale they're $$$

Lanvin ran out of steam awhile ago.

Technosteve the cole Hans look nice, just stick to the blsck or brown. Maybe even buff em with some polish.

 

[RebornYeti]

Yeti, I'm going to give you my honest opinion.

It looks like a sleeping bag. :/

Of course if you really, really like it you should wear what you like. But there are way classier, better jackets out there!

/.50 cents. See, I put a whole extra .48 cents worth of opinion in there for ya.

Thanks for your opinion. I honestly like the look of them, but what draws me to these particular jackets the most is the comfort and warmth that they provide. They are super light, but super warm as well, which is awesome.

But I know I can definitely find a better jacket, I just wanted some opinions on down coats/jackets in general.

What's the consensus on those puffy down jackets?

They're so comfortable, but everyone I have asked say that they are pretty ugly. I don't think they are...

I'm just gonna cross-post a pic from the 'pics of yourself' thread of myself wearing one of them. Find your opinions and give them to me.

Not crazy about the super puffy down jackets. I've always looked at them as more functional than fashionable.

With that said, there are some pretty great down vests out there. Would you be interested in something like that? I own this quilted vest from Uniqlo and it looks great.

Dear lord lol

A girl I dated owned them, so maybe I can smooth talk my way back in solely for this purpose.

Hey man, if you can rock a unique looking piece of clothing then power to you. haha

I mean, a few posts ago I was drooling over a corduroy bow tie. Yep.

^Nice alternative, lucky. That does look nice.

I dig puffy outerwear* , just make sure it isn't too long in the body or sleeve, else it will look like mess.

Mac that looks like something that should've been in Prometheus. Is that a reverse hood?

Raf Simons, 2006. It zips up and over itself. The whole collection had some of the dopest outerwear of all time.

Googled Raf Simons. Found this.

Wat.

I kind of fucking dig this guy. lol

 

[freenudemacusers]

Raf has about a 50/50 shit/success rate. The good is godly, the bad is just .. So bad. But, the good is the reason he ran jil Sander for 6 years and is now doing work for Christian Dior.

Also possibly the most important tumblrs of all time

They're pretty comfortable and good at blocking the cold but they sure aren't good looking, that's for sure.

The one your wearing looks better than the norm though.

I will never get high fashion.

 

[zethren]

From what I've gathered, it's about artistic trends and such. Just another form of art, and look back at all of the "ugly" art that has been created over the years.

I don't "get it" either, but I do get it.

[lupin23rd]

Treated myself to a new MTM jacket for the cold season (although I wonder if it's going to get too cold soon to actually wear it!) and I'm struggling with what to wear with it shirt-wise aside from some solid colors (ie. white). It just came in and I don't have much of anything to match it up with at the moment outside of some fantastic cords that will match up nicely.

Just received an online MTM white herringbone shirt... only I fucked up and it's off-white haha

I was told some small check patterns in some fall colors might work - probably something with brown / light brown / rust red to pick up the colors in the jacket. I'd assume they'd have to be small checks and not like a gingham pattern?

Any thoughts?

 

[coldvein]

i put on a pair of my friends levi's 511's last night in a drunken stupor .. everybody said they looked great on me, but i dont know guise. i feel like my legs shrunk. this is a big step.

Take that step, man. We have your back.

As long as you're comfortable in them and you get the right size, you'll likely be glad you did!

511s are great. try a dark wash/denim, and one waist size higher than what you usually wear and see if you like it.

 

[h3ro]

I just got two pairs of 511 cords.

One in Ivy and the other in this mustard gold. Have to admit, it's weird wearing such fitted pants, but they felt great after a while. I've usually gone with a fit more akin to 514s and 513s.

that pattern is a bit intense, but not beyond the realm of good taste or coordination. Like you say, I'd think subtle and small microchecks/tattersals/stripes/etc would look fine, even great.

 

[Johnlenham]

511's are my preferred fit aswell.

That looks great on you. How does it look without your arms against your side? Still rather fitting or is it more baggy/puffy? I usually don't like those but that's a nice jacket. Nice two-tone.

Depends from person to person of course and you should go with what you think looks good. Personally, I really dislike them (especially considering I have a few extra pounds on me and I think they make me look like the Michelin Man).

The arms weren't all that baggy. The jacket itself was a pretty good fit, however I felt it was a tad bit long.

I wish I could test it out to see how warm it is. If it kept me fairly warm, I'd say screw it and buy it.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

511's are my preferred fit aswell.

Looks like they're hugging the crotch pretty tight there.

 

[alazz]

Yeah jacket length is hard for me to decide on. There's clearly "too long" and clearly "too short" but the area of just right is tough for me. It's nice when I can leave button ups untucked and have them not sit below the jacket but that usually requires a jacket too long.

As for warmth: Is your location usually sunny or overcast when it's cool? Do you wear sweaters? Here in northern California I find even when it's in the 50s out a medium jacket can be a little too warm and a light jacket can generate a light sweat, because it's been sunny most of the days this fall. If I stay in the shade or go out at night it's fine. Those are things to consider.

Yep that's really the one condition for them. You need to be slim and the jacket needs to be slim. On the contrary, you could make some sort of hat and go all the way: Catarina armor from Dark Souls.

it's not polite to look

 

[Horse Detective]

I don't get why 511 fit always looks like that in pictures. On me they always look baggy.

Namean?

I live in Utah and the weather can be pretty bipolar. Like we just had a huge snow storm like 2 weeks ago, but now it's sunny and in the mid 50s. I already have a few jackets for this kind of weather, but I would like to be prepared for when the cold really hits.

I like the idea of a rust red. If you're going with patterns, definitely keep them small with this jacket. Small checkered has the potential to be great or a disaster, I guess you'll really only know until you try it out.

Do the 511s really look like that? The fit looks great to me. Honestly, doesn't even look like Levi's, which is why I ask.

Yep. <3 511s. Need some more cords. And a new pair of dark wash. Next paycheck. Black Friday/weekend really tore me a new one.

 

[Stormtrooper30]

With all the Levi's talk, thought I'd chime in. Currently wear 505's, but would like something that fits a little better in the ass department. I'm an athletic build and certainly could not fit into anything akin to skinny jeans. Should I try on a pair of 511's at some point?

Or would 514's make more sense?

 

[freenudemacusers]

so, anyone order from park and bond? do they usually take 3 days to prepare a shipment haha?

 

[LyleLanley]

Park and Bond has usually been pretty quick for me.

Edit: Just checked and my last order from Park and Bond arrived 3 days after I placed the order.

 

[freenudemacusers]

maybe it's in italy or something

 

[Rookje]

Those were on Gilt a while ago.

 

[freenudemacusers]

they're essentially the same site, so it was probably a cross promotion.

 

[RebornYeti]

511's are my preferred fit aswell.

511s don't look like that on me. Mine seem more baggy and boot cut than anything.

510s are where it's at.

 

[Stencil]

So are pea-coats still in style? I have my peacoat from last season. Just want to make sure it's still OK to wear. Though peacoats are classic I thought?

Also what is your take on blazers? I want to pull one off, I need to find a slim-fitting one. Any tips? H&M? One like this:

PS: I also ordered a bunch of awesome shit from asos and Topman for Cyber Monday.

 

[coldvein]

well, i've now spent a fair amount of time wearing these 511s... gotta say i'm lovin em. i think i'll buy a pair. i feel like a pimp. i feel like one of those pimps.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Stencil, the reason that blazer looks the way it does is because there are upwards of 15 different pins and clips holding it in place. Essentially, it's not real.

Never, ever, order from one of those Asian ebay sites. This really should be in the OP.
