Because it's officially beanie season (in NYC at least), any recommendations?

The quality is def there but my body just does not fit their stuff well. Even their slimmest cuts make me look older than I want to look. But I go ham on their accessories and shoes.

I dunno, dryers tend to shrink and prematurely age clothes as well as being expensive to run, stopped using them years ago.

I've stopped putting a lot of items in the dryer for this same reason. For what I do use I tend to go with a low heat as a precaution.

IMO Target's Merona beanies are perfect and they're like $5. Otherwise I have one I love from Oliver Spencer
I'll look into getting one of those drying horse things you mentioned then
are they actually a good deal? usually wouldn't buy $50+ uniqlo stuff (unless collab) but maybe I'm off base
The quality is great for the price. A little bit on the thin side compared to my other sweaters, but they're also not £300, so can't complain.
The best cashmere jumpers I have are from Jaeger. At Kildare Village, an outlet outside of Dublin, can get the cashmere jumpers for 50 to 80 euro. They're very thick cashmere jumpers too, amazing quality.

So my jumper arrived today.
Thanks for the recommendation, it's great. Really impressed how nice it is for $100.
Going to order a couple more.
Edit - Haha, just seen the above posts. Everlane are shipping internationally for a month from Nov 1. I don't know how much they will price these jumpers at but even if they're at a 1:1, I will be buying a few. I considered the Uniqlo ones but this one from Everlane is far far superior.

kinda miffed about these white-blue low tops from gustin. waited about 8 months to get these shoes and they didn't even have the right heel tab color, ended up being black instead of the steel blue color they have on their site. oh well, they gave me a $40 refund so i guess it's fine? really shouldn't happen though, very souring experience.
Are you willing to be a little flexible on the colour?
John Smedley are doing the below:

Good experience with their jeans but haven't tried anything else, that sux
I've been happy with a few of their shirts I've bought.

Standard response from me but, like, under $1k? As if that's some reasonable metric to narrow down the field?
If you can't find a suitable sweater that has an acceptable "this person makes ludicrously overpriced clothing for narcissistic, materialistic idiots that care too much about this shit" label from anywhere between £0-£800 then that's kind of sad.
Come on mane, it's a fucking sweater.
£100 absolute tops.
i've ordered jeans from them in the past and had no problems but i wanted some poor man's common projects and theirs was the closest to being true to the design. the long wait coupled with being unable to give me the correct color as a replacement is irritating. i guess it's a symptom of being a made to order 'kickstarter' company with no real oversight, but still it sucks being a victim of their growing pains. they seem to be getting bigger with how much new product they're always releasing so i hope they do get it sorted eventually.

That sounds more like it.
I get that quality demands a certain price but $1000 for a sweater is insane to me.
Great tip on the beanies and they have a lot of colors. BOGO 50% off right now too.
Drying horse has been one of my best clothing related purchases.

Cross posting from the sneaker thread.
I started seeing ads for Ylati on Instagram. Never heard of it before, it's Italian, made in Italy, maybe it's well known in Europe, reminds me of Filling Pieces. And just like them there's a lot of ugly shoes, but some nice one too.

Where is that jacket from? its sharp! Is there is a resource people here use to sell clothes ( assuming eBay doesnt cut it..?)

At least it was only $300

Oh my.
Wish this were made in an XS or XXS. The measurements for their small indicate it would be huge on me.
I think two of the dudes who were involved with TOJ before that fuckery happened started their own spin-off. I've been too salty and without enough money to look into it, but I've seen the thread on Styleforum

Size 48 (slim medium). You can find the measurements out there, it's a stock size, no goofy modifications.

I can take more if you want, of course.
Just doesn't fit nice no more, too many pull-ups. Nothing wrong with it at all, just occupying closet space AND looks too much like an issued work jacket.
It's from black rabbit.
Used reverse-imagesearch to find out.
Where did you find measurements for the jackets? I couldn't find any for them, just for the shirts and other stuff.

Well, estimated measurements. Going by both the jacket size and shirt measurements they have, I can definitely tell this thing will fit like a tent.
Hmm might have to skip this then as I'm long and scrawny (6'0", 125lbs)
Though a bit oversized is pretty much what I want to go for.

pretty sure they're not gonna make the same mistake toj did but who knows. one day i'm just gonna pull the trigger on the t1.
Sorry, I forgot to mention the source, its Black Rabbit indeed. They have a lot of cool designs, though a lot would get very limited wear in my case since I can't wear it to work :/. Love their jackets though. Good quality too - I tried some stuff out a while ago in a store in Amsterdam carrying some of their items.

yeah I saw one with roses on display for women at Forever 21 and thought about just buying itThat feel when souvenir jackets are popping up in stores and they're all advertised as for women.
For real, it's cool seeing them pop up. Seems like the tiger and orchids embroidery designs are the common ones.
How is the sizing for the jackets?

My favorite brand, Outlier just announced new items, one of them is a cape, and since I remember a couple of guys in this magnificent thread having a superhero complex, I said "I'm just going to post it".
The truth is it looks very nice...

out of curiosity did you find any ponchos you liked in particular?
There's one on Etsy that I really liked. Seems to be the top search when you look for ponchos.
https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/197...llery&ga_search_query=poncho&ref=sr_gallery_5
It's fairly simple, and I like the colour choices available.
Well, for comparison, I have a short but stocky build (1m65cm) so I'm usually S/XS, unless I'm shopping in Asia. Black Rabbit's stuffs seems to adhere to European conventions. I tried on one of their older Devil Reef jackets and it did run a bit wider beneath then jackets would normally do, but the s did fit me well. But that jacket running a bit wide is part of the style, I guess. I passed up on it back then because of the price, not the fit.
