My Dior Homme AW07 'Different Tensions' mohair sweater came in today. Such a good fit, super slim, but not in a 'show off your muscles' kind of way. I had previously bought one of the mohair sweaters in size small, but it was far too big on me. Size XS was the way to go.

Close up of the unique stitching that gives the sweater it's namsake:

(not my photo)

And me wearing the sweater:

For some reason, I look super bulky in this picture. Let me assure you, I'm not. Trick of perspective, I suppose.

Slowly but surely, I'm piecing together the DH AW07 look. Next stop - the boots.

One of these days I will find one of the distressed stitching sweaters. they were so nice.

You mean the ones from AW04 'Victim of the Crime', right? I have my Dior dealer searching for one for me. Hopefully I'll have it in a month or two.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Yeah, and subsequent seasons too.

And 'dior dealer'??? are you a member of one of those crazy yahoo dior homme trading groups haha?

unfortunately so.

and if i'm correct, the destroyed sweaters were reissued aw04, aw06, aw07, and aw11. god, it's sad that i know that.

 

[freenudemacusers]

knowledge is power bro

and I didn't know they were still around, those yahoo groups. are they hedi exclusive or can you get some kva goods? cuz I still want one of those transparent blazers:

and some other amish kva-dior shit

 

[overcast]

I need some skinnier blue jeans. Mine don't cut it anymore. I have reverted to wearing my blue chinos, grey pants, tan pants, and black jeans. Sometimes you need a pair of regular jeans.

yeah, dh from ss10-ss12 was some good shit. a completely different aesthetic then hedi-era, perhaps, but still some good shit. i'm actually part of a facebook group called 'Dior Homme Buy/Sell/Trade', which includes KVA era stuff. you could also try victimofthecrime.com, which was just started by some group members. i know i'm considering picking up an aw10 long cardigan right now, though i'm not sure quite how to wear it.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Thank fuck Mens Wearhouse didn't buy em.

Let's just hope this PE shop doesn't mess with the Allen Edmonds quality in their pursuit of cutting costs and expanding margins.

[TheKaeptain]

Looks good. I like the jacket.

 

[kaskade]

ASOS is having a 20% off unidays for the next 48 hours. I think I might pick up a fisherman beanie. It's getting cold out.

lookin good alucrid


just hopped on billy reid; they have some very nice outerwear and shoes this season.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

GAF, where can I find a peacoat just like this, or at least as close as possible? The vast majority of peacoats I see I don't like. Oh, and the beanie too.

So it looks like this is from last year's H&M lineup. Oh well.

Yep, Billy Reid makes great stuff. I love my cotton/linen blazer from them.

I got a pair of $20 Uniqlo slim jeans two weeks ago and they are the best looking cheap jeans I have ever had. They look good and I wont mind tearing them up at work, also 99% cotton and a nice dark indigo. Puts Levis to shame. Just though I should let you guys know. Here is the link: http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-slim-fit-straight-denim-jeans/078958-68-032?ref=mens-clothing%2Fmens-bottoms%2Fmens-jeans

Also our boy Lunchbro made a great thread in gaming.

Do these fit more like 511 or 510s (since you made the Levis comparison)?

Also, that might be the best OT I've ever seen, gaming or otherwise. Why are there astronauts with machine guns?

Similar cut to the 511 for sure.

Yeah, how tight are they Friday? Looking at them for sure.

Edit: NM you answered.

Yeah pretty slim

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Hmm, I'm more of a 510 guy, but I do like that the uniqlos have spandex (which some of my Levis do and some don't; gotta love their inconsistency) and the price is certainly right for a trial purchase. Thanks.

 

[thezerofire]

new or old 511?

 

[overcast]

Yeah pretty slim

I might still try them. But I'm kind of not looking for something that'll hug my thighs too much.

eBay

over that OT?? seems harsh

Checked, nothing.

It could be any number of offenses.

new or old 511?

No idea, if I had a full mirror I would take fit picks, but I don't.

 

[Alucrid]

In that last picture I'm wearing the uniqlo skinny jeans if that helps at all

 

[Illithid Dude]

that almost makes me wish i had a Facebook account

well, if there's a certain piece you want i could try and track it down for you.

 

[overcast]

Sold. Those seem to be exactly what I'm looking for.

 

[Marcovaldo]

oh man don't tempt me! thanks for the offer though but i just bought a new laptop so should probably watch my money for a bit, at least until sales start anyway

 

[Alucrid]

you get two in a row

 

[Chance Hale]

over that OT?? seems harsh

He responded to an innocent question by calling the poster poor and telling him he could fill his entire house with money or something of that nature, don't remember the specifics.

Any recommendations for a nice fall jacket that could go with as many colors as possible? 150-300 price range would be my limit.

Another question, how do Nudie jeans run in size approximately compared to the Levi 5'11s? 31/31 in those, although of course on the length I have to go up.

Does sound like lunchbox

lunchbro is pretty hilarious when he's not shilling AE and Abercrombie. He should've been knighted for those posts, not banned.

It is the same character though. You want to knight a troll you've got to except him in all the threads not just the ones you personally want to take seriously.

 

[Mumei]

I'd like suggestions for a lightweight jacket. Anyone have any? I have a slim build, if that helps.

Quite true. Although with all this computery stuff, surely there's a way to encourage lunchbro and also bar him from posting in this thread

I like my Scotch & Soda canvas jacket; clean and uncluttered design, not at all bulky, and yet still sturdy enough to stand up to the rough Seattle fall winds and rain. Have tried on a few of their others recently (simply out of curiosity rather than interest in adding yet another jacket to my swollen closet) that felt quite nice, too.

I have one like this in XS from a couple of seasons ago

 

[TheKaeptain]

Someone tell me the difference between A.P.C. jeans.

 

[Alucrid]

Someone tell me the difference between A.P.C. jeans.

Petit standard more taper
New standard a little bit of taper
Rescues straight leg, wider thighs
New Petit standard falls between the two
New cures a bit of flare at the end and tighter up top

Cool. I was in Nordstrom a few days ago and didn't know the difference. I'm going back tonight to try some on.

Two months after moving to West Texas (Lubbock) and I have decided that there really is no point in buying any expensive designer stuff. My thick framed Hugo Boss glasses, well fitting polos, single color tees, slim fitting pants and raw denim make me stand out in a class above just about every other guy around.

...isn't that the point?

 

[freenudemacusers]

I dunno man some of those texas cowboys do it up.

 

[TylerD]

...isn't that the point?

Yes, but what I am saying is that I already stand out so there really is no need. I have the means now but really no reason.

OK, so I do need to buy a new jacket and pick up some casual trainers and some boots.
