Didn't they come with an extra pair of laces?
They might have, I bought them three years ago and I don't remember. Just checked the box and I don't see them.
Is it bad that I like the robes that the old dudes are wearing in the first pic the most?
Nah those robes are dope.
Email the CP team. They should send you some

I really want python boots
Damn this thread. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a pair of Alden Indy's now after that post on the previous page. I'm just a little worried about sizing as I would like to get these in one shot and not have to worry about exchanging. I know they are popular on here so maybe someone can help or confirm.
I wear a 9 us in most tennis shoes (onitsuka tigers)
8.5 in clarks db
8.5D in chippewa boots
pretty much all of my shoes besides tennis shoes are 8.5
So would I be safe going with an 8.5D(medium) with Indy boots?
Thanks!

indy's aren't narrow like tigers, so I'd think your normal boot size would be appropriate. I definitely would not err on the larger size. great shoes.
Thinking of picking a Herschel Supply Little America bag to replace my worn out rucksack.
Thoughts on this color way? I was also thinking of getting the Houndstooth color way but I wasn't a fan of the navy on the smaller pocket and would rather have the entire bag be Houndstooth.

A little too LV looking IMO

This could just be me but I find that there are so many awesome looking bags out there that I wouldn't go with something as currently ubiquitous as Herschel. My recent trip to Japan really alerted me to what a sorry state (man)bags are in in this country.
I've used Herschel for years and it's a brand I'm comfortable with.
I mean I would get the Commes des Garcon x Beatles rucksack, but I don't have the disposable income for that right now.
If you have any suggestions, please feel free.

I think this is great, I love the colours.

I was always partial to their Fig/Burgundy color way.

On that subject, I'm thinking of getting Everlane's zip wallet. Seems very nice
My Chippewa Homestead boots arrived, and I'm super impressed with them. The leather is really nice and they are extremely comfortable right out of the box. Glad I bought these, will definitely be my go to boot for quite a while.
will post pics soon

Love the reverse denim/leather combo, but if you're looking for one of the more standard colors then I'd go with Fig or Green.
Depends on what colors you have in your wardrobe of course and whether or not they'd mesh well together.
They look beautiful. Hopefully they maintain their shape nicely.
Some new shoes and a cardigan I just ordered!!!
A big thanks to the Gaffer that pointed me to this shop, it rocks!
Where are the black derby shoes from?
Also, Mac, did you get that velvet jacket?
Guys. I'm so ready for fall it's not even funny.

Fall/Winter are my favourite seasons fashion wise. I get to wear my coats, hats and scarves, and I have some brown leather dress gloves I bought a few months ago that I've never even worn.
Bring on the cold!

Anyone ever see Barney's Helmut Lang stuff in person. I've been keeping an eye on a specific jacket, and it just hit the warehouse. Problem is, all sales are final and I can't decide whether to order a Medium or small. Does their stuff run super tiny like some of the other notable fashion designers?
They Jacket VV
thanks VV

Tried on a couple of things and items ran true to size. Cardigan in S for example was pretty true to size, maybe a bit bigger for a S but not anything out of the ordinary. That jacket looks pretty cropped though. Tough to tell.

Pretty sure I ran into this same problem sometime last year: saw a jacket in GQ, says it's available from Topman, go to website, jacket is nowhere to be found.
Is there a general timeframe when retailers' fall collections tend to show up online?

IME, spring summer usually drops january-march, fall winter august-october; often sooner than later. I've noticed over the years of online/retail retailing the drops are coming much earlier. back when I first started paying attention to and buying shit it in 2001 would be crazy to see spring summer stuff on the rack in january.
yeah, Epaulet. i gotta say, these pants are really nice. i just need them hemmed a bit because i have to cuff a lot. i do like the detail in the cuff. i just don't like how much i have to roll

$300 is plenty of money to go get a good cashmere sweater. Yoox actually has a ton of good cashmere sweaters at that price point.

Something he could wear to work over a button up?
re: size, I'm 5'9" and 160lbs, and a medium in just about everything. I would assume your boy would be a large, mostly so the sleeves would be a good length.
but to throw out a rec, right now on yoox you can get cruciani cashmere for $295 (free shipping over $200), and that shits usually $800 or so at retail. Pretty much some of the best cashmere you can get, period.

He's probably a 40, maybe even 42, i'm usually a 38, fwiw. what's his suit size?
wasn't impressed with what I saw. Tried on that denim trucker and the nylon bomber; both run true to size. I am a XS normally and I wore a XS in both jackets.
Alexandre Plokhov is reusing a lot of old silhouettes from his mainline just under the Lang label. Kind of a cop-out if you ask me.

fair enough, and thanks! I actually chickened out anyway because of the previous poster's mention of the cropped nature of the piece. I ended up ordering this jacket from schott nyc instead

That doesn't look too shabby! Thanks for posting, macusers. Makes me feel better about the purchase.
