Dressing Better Vol 2.0

eiddy that first fit is too fly

You're great a layering, man. A tripod would definitely do justice in capturing the outfit as a whole. You can get a cheap one for around $20 at Best Buy.

Nice fits, Eiddy, the #creepgawd of THAT thread.

Much appreciated.

FYI BLK DNM is on Gilt with a better selection and price than the GQxGap Collab.

why your zipper open doe...

i think it's actually button fly

The Gap at the Grove in Los Angeles has a very healthy selection of the GQ collabs if anyone is nearby and interested. Also good to see they're opening a J. Crew Men's there.

I haven't been to the Grove in so long...
They usually have a great selection though.

Perfecto or Cafe Racer? Or does anyone know of any other leathers around 600

Hey_

Perfecto.

Its an iconic piece.

Have you tried on Schott? I rarely see it fit well or flattering.


I'd honestly pick the cafe racer style since it is a bit of a safer choice. The perfecto, especifially the one pictured, looks very rugged and biker-ish. I think it is best if you are actually rode a motorcycle, if you just want that look then I suggest something that is more "stylized". I just think that one is harder to pull off than something that isn't specifically designed to be worn when riding.

See that's the thing, I want the perfecto but I can't find any to try them on and a lot of them look like it'll be a pretty boxy fit.
I wouldn't mind the TOJ rider but isn't there a huge wait for it?

info on the navy boots?

Not sure how long the wait for it at the moment but it's usualy just 4-6 weeks iirc.

Epaulet has a cafe racer for 500:

Hey_

Schott definitely has a boxy fit.

Is anyone able to compare Schott to Perfecto Brand jackets?

I think the best option this is both stylish/iconic/affordable would be a bomber jacket.

...If only Ovadia & Sons bombers were cheaper...

Too bad it's brown.

Any other Perfectos out there for around the same price as Schott?

I'm there almost on a weekly basis. The shops suck, although they're going to open a J. Crew Men's there. Nordstrom is being renovated too. I just go for the restaurants, and theatre.

RE: the wait on ToJ, it's worth it. Leather is not something most tailors can work with. And if it is, it costs a lot. I tried on a Schott at Barneys and the fit was horrible. It was a black perfecto with gold hardware, kinda tacky too IMO.

I think it depends on the model. About 6-7 weeks is what I waited roughly.

I find that Schott has a very american fit.

 

[omgitswes]

I just emailed their CS to help figure out which model has the slimmest fit of the bunch but I've found this one and it looks like it fits pretty nicely. I can't find out who sells it though

This pic itself is from epaulet but it doesn't look like they're selling it anymore

My bad, I knew I forgot to add something. Best bet may be too look at Cole Haan, cause they have something similar in the states.

Company: Mossley Derby.


They're actually not boots

Fit looks good but the leather looks plasticky? Might just be the pic though.

 

[omgitswes]

Pretty sure it's just the picture. It's the same one I posted earlier

 

[rfx45]

Type of leather plays a factor as well.

Barneys has the one with gold hardware for $1k.

You know what, I'm just going to flood this post with pics of the ToJ version to ensure you make the right decision.
