Best thing to do is call your local tailor/whichever tailor you had in mind and ask them if they offer an alterations service.

Of course some tailors will only offer alterations on their own bespoke clothing, but there are tailor/seamstress specialists which deal with alterations on any garment. Be sure to do some level of research on your chosen outlet, as some are better than others. (I would suggest avoiding places such as a laundrette which claim to offer an alteration service, as they're more likely to ruin your garments due to their lack of appropriate skills, but of course they won't tell you this, they'll accept your work even if they can't actually do it to a competent level).

That jacket looks great, lots of nice pieces in that collection.

Geller makes great outerwear, can hardly find some of it though, or maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places.

It can be tough to find. Sometimes places like Acrimony or Roden Grey might pick some up. Then there's always Barneys, Ssense or some Japanese retailers if you want to bite the bullet on international shipping / proxy.
 
yeah his buys are all over the place. totokaeloman also has a decent selection of the more 'street' items, forwardforward has more 'runway'-ish shit, etc.

nyfw was kinda a bust. don't even know if I want to trawl through it to bump the thread heh.

speaking of totokaelo btw, they have haider ackermann now. a lot of it looks pretty cool but the pricing is just .. yo.

Thanks! Will keep an eye out. Seems like some of his runway looks from FW13 didn't even get produced.

On an unrelated topic, I don't think there's a website that does more disservice to its product than Ralph Lauren, specifically the RRL side. The pics are just flat out garbage, I probably bought half a dozen items, kept one, all because the item looked way different in person. On the flip side, I passed up on some great stuff because it didn't look good on the site.

Lesson learned, I should just go to the West Broadway store from now on.
 
What do you guys think of this button up? Got a 25% off coupon, so it'll be like 25 dollars.


Or I may just end up getting a short sleeve plain white button up. Versatile as hell.

I like it...though I could never wear those shirts buttoned up like that...makes me feel uncomfortable

Not feeling my ASOS peacoat so I am returning it. I just ordered a more classic-looking one from Banana Republic. It's more what I've been looking for. Though I hope its warm, it's a nylon/cotton blend...

Got about $75 off thanks to a sale they are having too.

Yeah, I can't really do that. Unless I'm wearing a tie.

Pea coat seems nice Cyclone. 75 off is great for it too. Need to grab one next year, but it's going to start heating up in So Cal.
 
Just got the ocher suede boots that were on pretty much every model for Saint Laurent AW13. I'm nearing the end of my SLPAW13 collection, I can feel it. Probably just a flannel in another color, leather pants, a scarf, and maybe a coat, and I'll call it a day.

Going to San Fran for the first time in April. Looking forward to weeping outside of stores I can't even afford to walk into.

At least we have Uniqlo

Any suggestions for low profile shoes to wear with shorts in the Spring time? I usually just go with some basic, white shoes. Im open for suggestions on other styles though. Budget is around $100.

Edit.


How do you guys feel about just some regular white converse with some shorts?

But seriously, gonna see if I can find a gray chambray shirt tomorrow. Also check out amrag see if they got anything new.
