            Re: Carol Christian Poell



            I appreciate the advice guys. I still went ahead and bought the poell fencing jacket in sz 46. I weighed the cost/benefits, and I think that getting this one special jacket is definitely worth more than getting a cdiem leather shirt and a rick owens leather jacket. One of the reasons I got it is because of its stiffness and yet it's also light enough to wear it during the summer. As you may know, a stiffer leather jacket will look more beautiful over time (it'll mold over your body, and will leave a greater imprint of the owner's personality) as opposed to a soft leather one, which is one of the reason I chose this over a ro's jacket.... I mean, it's a long term investment after all.... Another reason is (crudely and frankly) due to its exclusivity- rick owens' jackets wont be hard to find (or a style similar to it) whereas this fencing jacket is not only super unique, but it's also one of the only 28 that Poell produced around the world (hahaha, what a shrewd and clever piece of marketing isn't it?).
            I also asked Gentry questions regarding the fit since the jacket doesn't look at all fitted from the arms, but he told me that as a rick owens medium size, he couldnt even fit it the size 46 because of how slim fitting the jacket is.
            Anyway, I'll see how it fits when I get the jacket tmr and I'll post some pics wearing it once I break it in!

                      hehe, Gentry rockin that shit.




                      Man... they sold the 48s already eh? that's what you ended up getting Khiev? Funny how he cut these small this time around. The overlocks from last season were cut big! I fit the 48 easily and likely could have sized down.




                      maybe I'll be convinced to pick one up in europe where it'll be sliiightly cheaper hehe.




                      Can't wait to see photos of when you receive yours! I bet it can't arrive soon enough for ya mate!

                            Yeah, Gentry told me they sold out of the 48 when I requested for a picture of him wearing it. I'm a small in a rick owens so apparently the size 46 is the right one for me, which also happens to be the only one that A. ordered. Will post about the fit when I get it soon!

                              I went to check out Poell at A before you freaks buy it all [:D].
