those are dope.
I've shopped there before, but wasn't able to find any shirts that really fit me well without tailoring.
Old Navy online Slim Fit Talls have worked much better for me.
Alright. Wouldn't hurt to stop by one day, but I won't be expecting much.
Alucrid lighting that fashion flare up in GAP. Just grab the 2 dollar socks on sale, I like doing that.

It's actually really good quality gear, just incredibly bland. But if you're just after plain white tees and stuff you could do worse.

yeah i love nordy's... ordered!!! Hope they fit well! My first pair of N&F.
I am pretty slim even though I work out my legs are skinny
Don't go to Old Navy store. The odd sizes are only available online.

I was wrong about being an XL is an advantage. There's too many fat people out there snatching them all up. XS is probably better luck.

lol no not even
Any time I'm looking for an XS (boyfriend wears an XXS, mull that over for a second) I have to sift through a literal sea of XL.
Everything in American Apparel is unisex, but beyond that? Yeah, that sounds rough.

I know Dior Homme used to go as far as XXXS
I think yall would be disappointed since I wasn't as in to fashion when I had my room renovated. If I did it now my closet would be a motherfuckin palace.

I wonder if they still bother with the DH petite or if that died with slimane.

When I went in the store to get a blazer tailored there was a women working there wearing full Dior Homme, so I think it might have continued.

I don't know about "trendy" but Uniqlo would be the only affordable place I'd go.
That store doesn't exist in Los Angeles.
Oh and by "trendy" I just meant whatever guys are wearing nowadays that don't make them look like geeks/hobos. Nothing fancy.

Why not shop online at uniqlo.com?

uniqlo, h&m, alternative apparel, jcrew at sale season, occasionally target
I've never shopped online for clothes before. Sounds like it would be a bad idea.
Bam Bam Baklava
Member
I don't know about h&m man their clothes will fall apart on the guy.
It's not so bad. I feel the same way but you just gotta bite the bullet. It's also more likely a place to find deals.

costco is target tier imo, you can find stuff but it will require more sleuthing.
re: internet shopping, it will definitely take a couple return/exchange cycles, but once you zero in on your size for most brands, you're gold. You can get $250+ shirts for target prices fairly often, especially if you seek out labels that nobody has heard much about.

It will this fall! >( Maybe ask someone in NorCal to pick up a few things for you in the time being to see how their sizing works? I hear it is a bit tight.
Isn't there a Topman in LA now? Also a bunch of Zaras.
Costco isn't really that trendy but if you need basics they're there. (same goes for Sam's Club and other club stores)

I was there a few weeks ago. They have some alright stuff.
I really like this jacket by Patrick Ervelll, but a little too pricey. Anything you guys would recommend around the 400 mark?

APC Croft II jacket?

looks kinda frumpy imo

Topman is cool if you're built like a tiny British kid. Basically if you have even an ounce of muscle on you, you can kiss their fits goodbye.
Looks dope. Did you not end up getting that leather one?
Classic style but the fit looks terrible. You should be able to find that look in a much better cut.

I didn't because zeo said it was too glossy.

Not keen on that leather jacket, looks like something my dad would wear.
I'm sure it's fine Peruvian cashmere tailored by the fair hands of virgins or whatever, but it's just an overpriced jacket to me.
Pretty smart, simple classic styling. But £350 seems way too pricey for a fairly plain, run of the mill, black bomber jacket. I'm sure you could get one just as cool for like £100.APC Croft II jacket?

no idea but I too would like to know
I have a disease and want more sunglasses. send help
NinjaBoiX

I don't actually have any suggestions, sorry! I've seen very similar ones in Bank and such for around £70-80, but I guess the quality wouldn't be comparable.
It is a really nice jacket though. I suppose a couple of hundred isn't a crazy amount to pay, but it's out of my price range.

eh if you want an ervell jacket like that you can probably wait until sale season and get it for much less. same with apc. you could probably find something from herno, stone island, or cp company for $400 on the innanets

I have that Jacket from another brand, so it would be too similar. I like the Patrik Ervell one because it has a nice collar, and has the biker look, but much more minimal. I might wait until I find it cheaper as mac said.
That dude is a boss.

25% off saks promo. Good place to get persols and a couple other brands that aren't excluded from the promo like acne, apc, cdg play.
Are there any other companies that make bags like Herschel Supply Co.'s Cotton Canvas?
I've heard some reports of them being poor quality, and I'm not sure if I want to risk it on a $90 bag. Have any of you had experience with these bags? It will be a college backpack.
