fall fashion 2011

isn't this, like, one of the perks of dating same sex? sharing clothes?

yeah, sure, its more as elmo sd theres a weird territory btw 'want to smash' and 'want to dress/look like' thats sorta a queasy masturbatory thing going on a bit idk sorta outside the purview of this thread

ya, i get that. i always think it's weird when you see twinsies walking down the street

Can't find that white norse projects sweater in medium :(

max there are a lot of varsity-styled jackets this season, it's def a thing now, i'm sure you could find one at a good price!

this has been a thing for a while, hasn't it? or was it more in the hip hop scene and moving it's way into the normal style scene? i got this one back in 08

i <3 norse projects. i wanted a jacket for a while, but never found it in my size. there's one really small store in sf that sells it, but they're so tiny that they only carry a few pieces from each brand. http://www.maasandstacks.com

i've been seeing them for at least a year, idk about the hiphop influence tbh but i kinda see them coming out of the ivy / prep trend of the past few years

i bought a vintage varsity jacket in 09 when it was a big runway trend iirc

max is this the sort of sweater you were talking about?

i want this jcrew wool cpo jacket. more like a shacket, but i'm always hot, so don't need anything thick

i also want some brown leather derbies. these are both pretty cheap, but i'm also pretty poor.

what i like to do is fantasize about like edward green mto shoes and then everything seems so reasonable in comparison that its like you cant afford NOT to buy them

but yeah chocolate/dark brown suede derbys or def on my list

jeez i always get confused by the whole derby / blucher / oxford thing wrt shoes

shackets seem like perfect for SF weather. the patrik ervell 'fall shirt' i posted above is basically a 'shacket'; i wear it over buttondowns

ive seen the varsity jackets around for a while, i just have never really been into them for how i dress, but i really liked that PE one so my eyes are open to them now

heh i think jimmy wanted to take me to maas and stacks when i was in SF acouple weeks ago

lol @ 'shacket'

& yeah elmo thats exactly the kind of sweater i mean--basically want to wear one of those & smoke a pipe all day long

s0 tempted by a pair of winter weight cotton rag+bone trousers that are 50% off atm

this is a great thread, I bought everything everybody listed itt and now I am going to be really stylish this fall

thanks guys

good work

haha that was unnecessarily snarky. sorry.

where would one look for fair isle sweaters that aren't incredibly expensive (and please don't say "google")

hit up a thrift store, maybe? i really depends on yr budget and what you're looking for.

vintage (lol xp)

rag & bone trousers are nice, i got a pair of chinos there on major major sale (like they cost less than gap sale) and love them. i dunno about some of their other women's stuff though, it's not quite right to me. overdesigned or something

j crew kills me because they do very nice work with styling and yet the quality of their women's clothes is just trash lately. sure i want those cropped trousers in red or fuchsia but the fabric is so cheap they don't even look right on the size 0 model who has to stand in an awkward pose so you don't notice as much

would totally buy those crewneck sweaters if they made a women's version though. nice

land's end canvas has some fair isle for ~$70 in a cotton/wool/nylon blend

fair isle: ebay or etsy? like if you search several terms and variations on the spelling of it & search for just things like sweater + wool + scotland. if i were in new england i'd go to church thrift shops and look..

for that kind of thing i'd probably try to get vintage if possible because you can actually find a decent quality piece, whereas if you buy new it'd have to cost a couple hundred before you get out of the range of cheap/throwaway clothes

the only thing is i've noticed about looking for fair isle / nordic / figural sweaters on eBay is that it's totally corrupted by this phenomenon of "ugly christmas sweater parties"

i ordered one of j crews 'ludlow' jackets this summer for a wedding and was kind of shocked at how poor quality it was for $400. returned and got a slightly less well made but much better fitting jacket from uniqlo for $100

i also have a longsleeve henley from them and the buttons broke w/in like 4 weeks

on the other hand ive had a few j crew tees for like 8 years now and they still look/feel/fit great

thanks y'all

i really don't like j crew shirting at all, it's pretty bad tbh, but i've never had any trouble with anything wool from j crew

their dress shirts have horrible fits iirc, but their sweaters and t-shirts fit (me) great

woah

'ugly xmas sweater' parties are the actual worst

btw i'm sure most of y'all have seen em but i still think the junya fair isle jackets are the sickest, I keep staring

would wear!

<3 junya

my other fall fashion complaint for women's is that all these low priced stores have discovered celine. and if you rip off celine, it's not like you can do anything to distract from v low quality fabrics and materials.

I'm wondering how to fit a "Death on the Installment Plan" joke into that.

hahahah it took me a good 60 seconds to get that

houellebecq will write that joke

corduroy shirts are the best i have one & it is my favourite shirt, couldn't wear it during the day most of the summer but now im going all in

omg. only if it were super thin, like a shacket, we'd all be in heavens

lol that feels like the fashion equiv of seo

haha exactly

ha i think i am going to get that norse projects shacket. great thread!
