I was wondering what you thought of this Balenciaga jacket for a guy. I am fairly shory so don't really like to wear longer coats

I can only post the link from Matches as I can't/don't know how to copy the picture.

Don't like it. It's like a bad copy of Dior androgyny, which is a bad copy in itself...

It's definitely not suitable for a guy. That space-warrior collection was infamous and it'll be obvious toa lot of people that you're wearing a ladies jacket.

The first Dior jacket is quite plain, you could do much much better on Ebay. I think there was a guy selling his Luster M65 leather for $2.7k, if you absolutely want to drop that kind of cash on a leather, it much much better than the one on Yahoo Jp.

As for the Lanvin, the pockets look a bit wierd. I like the silk grosgrain trim along the zipper, but the jacket just looks very "meh" to me. Oddly, it's not that expensive for a Lanvin piece (compared to their other, very $$$ stuff).

Re: Yes or No?

I honestly love the Lanvin jacket. I tried it on this past weekend and it's a perfect weight and the metal mixed with the wool gives it a unique feel.

It gets a yes from me.

Re: Yes or No?

Links would be appreciated for some nice Dior leathers. I'm unsure about the pockets for the Lanvin jacket but I love the material...

[Faust]

Re: Yes or No?

Have to disagree with Casius there. I think the jacket, while of excellent quality, is neither here nor there. It's not exactly outerwear - it will not keep you warm - nor it is a light spring jacket because of the padding. It's more like something you wear under a coat to keep you warm.

Re: Yes or No?

I do agree with this. It isn't a substantial coat at all. I was probably looking at it from a 'SoCal weather' point of view. :)

It is of great quality though as with most Lanvin items.

Keep an eye out on Ebay and the Dior Homme MSN group: http://groups.msn.com/diorhomme/

Re: Yes or No?

Thanks for all the insight! I have noticed Dior (and many other things) are extremely highly priced on Y!. Could anybody recommend some other Lanvin jackets that are not dreadfully expensive?

[Casius]

Re: Yes or No?

That's definitely the cheapest jacket they make this season. All the others are over $3,000. :(

[heptagenid]

Re: Yes or No?

Well I suppose it's cheap for a reason... [66]

[Casius]

Re: Yes or No?

Well, if you consider $1500+ cheap...haha. Honestly, I like the jacket, it would be perfect for a mild climate.

If you wanna be ballin' though, go for one of thier leather jackets or the button waist long coat.
