like a group of us was saying at the store after the eagle landed and I killed it. you would be a genius if you put that look together on your own pulling from various sources. however once you pull it straight from the lookbook it sort of becomes tragic

...however once you pull it straight from the lookbook it sort of becomes tragic

Was waiting for someone to say that. And it is true. Wearing it in the store today it felt strangely empty and predictable, like cheating and I doubt I will ever wear it all at once (maybe for the pic). But the individual pieces are amazing and I have been trying them with older things and it's rather refreshing. Then again, I wear pretty much nothing but RO and some old HL these days and as you know Rick goes well with Rick... but yeah - walking lookbook might look good, but feels pretty shit.

Sometimes runway combinations are so strong and cohesive that you can't help. You have to buy them...
Why not ?

I tried on today the samourai jacket WITH hood at L'Eclaireur and it didn't work out : the scratches were working fine, but there were too many pleats on the chest and they were ruining the shape. Same goes with the hood, wich gives to the V neck a drapey aspect which doesn't work with the overral strict tailored shape. It was very disappointing.

I guess the version without hood would be better.

i felt bad after writing that, and thx for taking it for what it was worth..
that was the problem with the samouray...i couldn't think of anything i own that i could wear it with...so i bought the skdrcrops bc they are amazing and i felt you literally have to wear it with the sam to make it work. so chant you're point is correct. i felt like if i enabled myself with the bottom maybe i could get the top eventually...
anyway, a lot to look forward to in trouser dept for dick.

A new word in the SZ vocabulary , since I guess you meant the skirt+drop crotch pants. They'd fit perfectly with the samourai since the shape of the skirt, widening at the bottom, would echo the shape of the jacket's bottom.
I didn't see them yet in the store (but didn't go to the RO store, only at L'Eclaireur), would you mind post a picture, or a WAYWT - it's been a long time btw.

We saw yesterday at L'Eclaireur the winter version of the classical drop crotch pants Eternal bought, in cotton (for the upper part, from the waist till the drop croctch) and distressed lambskin (from crotch) : very beautifull, and perfect for winter time. But price was 858 E. Crazy.

Faust - nice glasses. I almost ordered those myself but the missus stepped in and put the kibosh. something about owning too many sunglasses - whatever! sad about VB going away..
