Small questions thread

you could go to a tailor and ask to add a seam across on the pockets lining where you feels comfortable with. I dont think it will affects the drape.

Funnily enough I've had this done. Obviously it will change the way the pants sit when the pockets are full but it's minimal and apart from that no difference..

Thanks guys, I'm taking them in to the tailor today and asking about adding a seam.

EDIT: done and done. Worked out perfectly.

Help me out with this.

Which of these two blazer fabric compositions would result in scrunching/stacking along the sleeves? It is understood that after a few wears there will be slight crease marks near the elbow area. But i am looking at something similar to that in the picture. Is it only achievable with a specific fabric? Is one better than the other to achieve this?

1. 100 % heavy cotton

2. Blend of wool/flax/nylon

Not one of the ones you've mentioned by Ramie tends to do that.

is it common for a tailor to carry various hook closures? or would i have to bring my own?

(for ref. this would be in nyc)

EDIT :: thanks Dane, i'll look around.

they would probably have some, but if it would be safer to bring your own if you know exactly what you want.

Trousers in black, sturdy wool. Preferably with some room in the thigh, heavy taper and elongated rise. On limited budget.
Would I be able to find this in NYC? Where?

anyone here handled/own the FW11 BBS's Ninja Hoodies? What difference does the F098 & F099 have in terms of its material and say the fit/sizing? Thanks!

Is there a difference between the CCP diagonal zip boot and the Tornado zip boot? They look the same to me?

i think they are the same
people just call them different things

but the shape of the Zipper route on the older models is different than on the newer ones though

..and I want a pair, now.

i had one and sold it,
i want one but in grey,
I want your drips all the more,
but cannot rise to the occasion at the moment

Lately I've been kind of obsessing again over the last Dior collection from Hedi. I've been especially envious of the pants shown in several looks and was wondering if anyone has suggestions for where to get something similar today?


I'm guessing maybe Rick or CDG? I know lots of people are doing drop crotches now but I can't seem to find anything I like as much as these. Rick's drop crotches are often too sporty and CDG not a slim enough taper. Ideally they'd be something with a full loose dropped crotch and severe taper in a fluid wool.

The fold sarouel (middle row..) by Adeline Basely might be what you're looking for. You can try emailing her and she might be able to make a pair according to your specified measurements.

I'm not sure how to get to the English site.

My drips are in hibernation till I sell or trade for tornadoes.

I'd reccomend these RO trousers from this season, the fabrics make them much less sporty. by sizing down one (I'm a 50 and wear them in M), the fit is quite close to the DH image, though the fabric is not quite as drapy.

quite a few store have/had these in various fabrics, at least LVR, and some store on farfetch.
