Small questions thread

If I'm usually an XS/44EU male, can I simply purchase a M-L Women's Paul Harnden blazer? Or is the cut completely different compared to the male blazer (more space in chest, etc.)?

back zip question

I'm looking to get a new pair of boots and have narrowed it down to either Guidi or Julius back zips.

I saw in the Guidi thread that a few people commented on the back zips being uncomfortable at times as the zipper can rub your heel. Is this a general consensus or not that big of an issue? I was leaning toward the Guidi boots, but now thinking the Julius may be better as on the inside they have a piece of leather covering the zipper.

Been wearing my backzip for a year now. I can't say i got anything to complain especially the zip rubbing against heels. but then again i tuck my trousers inside the boots.

It was uncomfortable at first for maybe a week or two but once broken in it was alright. They also do side zip if you want to go leather socks without the back zip.

from personal experience I'd say the side zips were the more comfortable and durable choice, the zipper taping frayed quite a bit on a pair of back zips I used to own..

okay, this idea might be super dumb.. but what if you add an elastic cuff inside the sleeve of a jacket/coat with long and slim sleeves (let's say RO) so it'll make a bit of a stacking throughout? like this one:



it can be slightly visible or fully covered by the sleeve i guess... what do you guys think?

am i going mad?

What do you guys think of tucking in with different colors, i.e. black guidi grey pants?

I wear my back zips all the time and I have never felt uncomfortable in them

Is Obscur leather thicker than other brands?
I just got my first leather, it's from Obscur A/W 12, this jacket specifically:


And it is way thicker then I'd imagined it to be. I'm just wondering if that's the case with that jacket in particular, or Obscur as a brand for their leathers.
