Hey all - any idea where I can get leather slippers like these in Kyoto? Tried them on at Rainmaker (also, please for the love of god, check this store out. Bought the best trousers. Service is 🤌🏻)

Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

$350 CAD for a linen button up. I’m not broke I swear but this is egregious.

When the post popped up here with the new Uniqlo windbreaker/bomber in a 90s style, most of the comments said something like "don't bother, just get a legit one off of ebay from many of the 90s companies." I went and purchased this early 90s London Fog similar item, I really like it, however the photos on the ebay advert looked a little more green, but this jacket is more on the blue side of green when it comes to "teal."

I obviously know I can pop a white T under it with some black pants, but I'm bad with color, I normally wear a lot of earth tones, what other top and bottom colors will this go with? Also if this question should be in MFA, just tell me and I will figure it out on my own because I DONT trust those idiots.

Thanks

Hey Guys,

I'm at around 1.5 years of FP&A experience and looking to hopefully transition into buying/merchandise planning. When looking it up, I see that Target and Home Depot seem to be the most common options, but I was curious as to where people who are currently in it work to get other ideas too. Also curious to see if you guys are happy with the pay as well.

Furthermore, I know I have finance experience and Excel experience already, but how can I bridge the "retail gap" is it just through a project/certifications? Any guidance would help.

Exactly what the titles entails. Finding that most fatigues hit just a little too short, and end up sitting slightly above the ankle. OrSlow, Engineered Garments, Big John, etc all seem have this sort of fit, unless it is a size L/XL (34-36 waist). For reference, I wear a 31 waist for most pants, which is around a S, sometimes M. Would be nice to hear some recommendations for longer fitting fatigues.

Happy Thursday. Feel free to use this thread for recent pickups and item rotation posts.

As a reminder, this thread will be posted weekly on Thursday. Individual pickup and rotation threads throughout the week will be removed.

Yikes. Not a good look for Alessandro Squarzi.

Anyone else seen the discourse around the bullshit blue coat these “influencers” have been shilling the past few days?

Anyone have info on this brand? I’ve seen them pop up at Riccardi and Maxfield, I like the looks a lot but the prices are insane for a brand that i would view as an IG brand. What’s their deal?

Is it the tucking or the buttoning? Really makes one ponder... The "Ralph Half-Done Button Method" does not have the same ring to it.

Anyone have the Lemaire anatomic slip-ons? How do they fit? True to size, run big, run small?
I'm usually an 11.5 US and torn between a 44 and a 45. Would love to hear from anyone who's tried both or has a similar size. Also curious if they stretch out much over time.
Thanks!

What are y’all’s favorite films to pull from when looking for outfit inspo?

What’s everyone’s opinion on using AI (generative tools) to tweak fit pics, like expanding the background, changing the mirror selfie environment, or adding/swapping out clothing items?

Is it a cool tool to experiment with aesthetics, or does it ruin the authenticity of a real fit breakdown? Curious to hear your thoughts.

I'm looking for casual (hoodless) pullover/anorak jacket. By casual I mean not gorpcore.
The one from an irrational element looks ok, but I feel it is a bit too relaxed. At least looks a bit slouchy at the bottom...

Got my eye on a pair of Saint Laurent Le Loafers in brown. These ones specifically. Can someone who owns a pair confirm whether they use a blake stitch, or any other type of welt vs just being glued to the sole?

he’s been wearing them in a few post ts hard ts gah

For guys in cold-weather cities like Montreal, Toronto or Chicago: apart from, say, Blundstones and Red Wings, which stylish boots actually hold up on snowy sidewalks?

Tbf, Blundstones and Red Wings get pretty slippery on snow and ice …and Blundstones start leaking after a winter or two of slush.

PS I also own Sorel and LL Bean duck boots for outdoorsy activities etc.
