Okay, who's Eric Glennie? I feel left out :P?

Great stuff here. I don't know how I missed Servo's post about the Black Trouser project. Throup's design process is certainly interesting.

a mentally unstable guy who "makes" ridicilous "clothes" believing hes some sort of a fashion innovator and revolutionary yet hasn't had the slightest of success in his life. I suspect he lives with his mom who enables him to cut up more ties.

Figured I'd bump with a picture for anyone who hadn't seen the Throup x Stone Island Modular Anatomy.

If anyone knows if they made it in XS / has seen it for sale drop me aline.

Faust · 01-11-2009, 04:23 PM

I definitely seen something similar, but I don't think that was it. When did these come out?

Tyro · 01-11-2009, 04:24 PM

servo, I take it you saw seenmy's pics of him wearing the AT for SI and the AT for Topman

Servo2000 · 01-11-2009, 04:26 PM

I did see him in the the AT for Topman - did not see AT for SI.

They were out this season - I tried on a size small at Barneys in Los Angeles a few weeks ago and it was really nice (on sale as well). Just much too big.

Faust · 01-11-2009, 04:27 PM

oh, right, that's where i saw them.

Tyro · 01-11-2009, 04:31 PM

well sorry to seenmy if this is a bit cyber stalker, but for the sake of the thread:

head to ankle AT...

Servo2000 · 01-11-2009, 04:43 PM

That looks fantastic. So envious of fellows who can swing those trousers. If I had a few more inches I'd definitely make a point of finding a pair still.

Tyro · 01-11-2009, 05:06 PM

is there any chance of actually still finding a pair? I would if I could get them

merz · 01-11-2009, 05:45 PM

aitor is the one to look out for. i'll try and take a wywt photo of my pair one of these days.

kunk75 · 01-11-2009, 05:58 PM

that looks awesome! seriously thought about this for a winter coat but could only find it online and didn;'t want to be a guinea pig.

Agreed - he seems truly talented. Glad you were able to source out a pair.

xcoldricex · 01-11-2009, 07:01 PM

what were the pricepoints on his stuff? not really a fan of that SI coat, but i really enjoyed his tailored pieces. those trousers look great - for tall people only probably?

merz · 01-11-2009, 07:05 PM

well, throup's designs so far suffer from the same issue that kept dis-jointed from reaching a wider audience, not that carol ever appeals to such. pieces are designed with particular anatomies being in the right place. if your knee doesn't fall within the specified knee point on the trousers, the trousers do not look right, etc.

The other issue is that the pants have that little (presumably nylon) strap along the bottom which keeps them from being hemmed without some difficulty. At this point if I can find a pair in 28 / 30 (I'd need to see measurements) I'd be willing to risk it / or just get rid of the strap if necessary.

Merz - do you think that it would be possible (let's say I found a really good tailor) to have the anatomical portions "shortened" based on what you've seen?

coat was $2350 i think; is on sale for $1100
