    Hey thank you Faust. Weird, I would expect them to be 38 UK (48), if they are taller than 6"0. Do you happen to know the waist size as well?

      Its very easy for lots of people to idolize someone they admire and like you said a smart person with a thinking mind does not need to be influenced by their idols but lets face it most kids are.

      With great power comes great responsibility no?
      my point is exactly that idols don't have such a huge importance at all. peer presure, bad or indifferent parenting, social context, values etc are much more influential. it's just much easier to blame celebrities than rethink our modus vivendi as a society. if anything, the "negative idols" some young people chose is to be seen as a visible symptom of their problem, if indeed there is one. not the cause

        most runway models i think are a slim 48 and their waist usually is around 30-32. hard to make sense of it, since they are all 6' +...

            No, listen to The Boss : models are 46 and samples are 46. It was like this in each and every showrooms I've visited.

              ya'll are being silly. its a damn article called getting fit with rick and rick says to get fit - "hey, try steroids. worked for me!"

              its irresponsible because he said it in a public forum. famous or not famous. a guy has a sick body and basically says "all roids baby. f*ck yeah shit is the bomb yo" in a national (international?) publication. its irresponsible. keep it simple man. don't overthink the social implications of "celebrity influence". sheesh.

              seriously though, steroids work. its true

                I really enjoyed the article.

                It's hard to imagine that steroids were the most destructive substances he was using....

                  his point exactly. he was just sharing what worked for him, and taking care of your body is less damaging than abusing it with substances.

                    That I don't know. Looked like a 30 to me.

                      mononon is stuck in the pre-Hedi Slimane era. haven't you heard - 46 is the new 48.

                        i know not everyone lifts huge weights but it is tough for me to fathom a 36 inch chest.

                          ^^^The Julius, Rick and Ann runway presentation makes it very believable. I bet the models are generally a 36. Skinny boys.

                            Hey there,

                            the store I'm buying for has both the sleeveless and the long sleeve version of this sweater ordered in black - feel free to contact me, we're accustomed to deal with international customers!

                              Don't you get small as hell coming off of them though?

                              I don't know much about them, i'm afraid of needles (pretty lame) only reason i've kept it natural the whole time haha.

                                Funny, now that I think about it, I always felt a bit lost in Rick's more voluminous cuts, particularly the bottom half of his silhouette.

                                With his cropped length, dropped-crotch trousers, I tend to look like an awkward toothpick. It looks a bit better when I try similar styles in women's DRKSHDW or Lilies (even the women's flat zip up boots work better with their slightly slimmer-cut last than the men's), which lead me to the impression you better be a fit dude to wear the men's properly :/
