Re: CCP vs. Augusta
I like how it looks reversed. but yea, its still fairly simple though, and definately expensive. I think AKA said its pretty nice, you might want to ask him for details on how it feels and looks in person."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

Re: CCP vs. Augusta
CCP for sure... The toebox on those Augustas do not look very nice... But I prefer the FW0708 CCP Derby with the less contrasting stiching...Comment

Re: CCP vs. Augusta
for the shoes CCP. although the poser's are nice, but you're gonna wear them 1/10 of the time. this/that ccp season happened to have the best boots/derbys he has ever put out imho. i bought the grey derbys and probably would have bought those black ones if they didn't sell out in my size at A. the leather is lighter, softer, more supple, and sickly scarred, and they are much more comfortable than previous years. the derbys felt like trainers after one wear.
diego, if you have a need in your wardrobe for a med cash cotton sweater that feels great and is cut better than luc, i say go for it. i was trying to keep my enthusiasm for this piece at bay, but who cares now. the color is great. this will become a staple of any f/w wardrobe. classic, simple, humble (no bling in the povera here), you can wear this thing for weeks straight and not get tired of it. its like a primer for any jacket as it is super warm but not thick, so you can fit into all those tight arm holes. i wore it around the store for about 2 hours, simply did not want to take it off. its too bad the model doesn't quite rock the clothes, he looks a little awkward and corpse like, which is unfortunate because it is such a comfortable piece.
now i'm gonna have to get it. dammit. any body interested in buying a bunch of cashmere MJ sweaters on the cheap? (i know, i know, but the store's 70 percent off sales over xmas found their way under my tree a number of times.)
One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.Comment

Re: CCP vs. Augusta
Well, the black Ann D trousers have worked well for me. They fit me better than any other trousers I own, seem to get more compliments, and so on. Never wouldathunkit.

Re: CCP vs. Augusta
Should I keep it? I know I won't wear it much, because it's such a showpiece, but I'd totally wear it to a party. The fabric is amazing on this bad boy.

Re: CCP vs. Augusta
Isn't your black Ann jacket pretty much the same? If so, this one would be redundant (and face it, you'd wear the black one more than the white one).

Nope, a very different cut, albeit from the same collection.

Re: CCP vs. Augusta
It seems fits you well in the body and shoulders, length is just right. Pockets are a little high but it works well with the length. Fabric is beautiful and the contrasting buttons are nice. My only hesitation is on the sleeve length.
That aside, if you don't have another white/light jacket, keep it!

I love the sleeves rolled up, and that's exactly what Ms. Demeulemeester wants you to do with her jackets! Filibuster style.
