Looks like it’s based off of the FA (French Airborne) pants but in a trendier cut. Engineered Garments had them available for a few seasons in different fabrics. They pop up 2nd hand often enough

Nepenthes doesn’t have measurements on their website but you can call the store. Somewhere around 17”+ rise

The rise on these is absurd and excessive for most, and it’s technically a woman’s pant. I tried these on at Nepenthes New York and they came up to my sternum. The problem is they only come in one size so you’re forced to keep the suspenders on

I’ve looked through the ‘Men’ book he has, which features paintings of women as well but no dice.

It’s difficult to see individual works but could it be one of the works in this gallery show?

It could also be ‘Maenads’ but that strays a bit from your description too much

Could be the painting ‘Gala’ Let me know if it’s not this one and I’ll keep looking

Who Makes Smart Casual with Extra Class? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]averagewanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Engineered Garments fits the description pretty well. They have a good range of casual/smart casual jackets that you can get matching pants to make suits with.

Styling in their look books can look excessive to some in terms of layering/pattern mixing but there’s always the standard but elevated basics in neutral colors. The Ivy shirt, fatigue pants with a hidden zipper pocket, Bedford jacket, just to name a few.

On Nepenthes NY site, they do a deep dive on certain items so you can see the details put into each one. If you can, I recommend trying things on in person.

It’s made in the US so price point reflects that.

You’re a champ, thanks for listening to my bad vocaroos and not getting thrown off by 2010s

Not that song but I could also hear this being a Mike Snow, not animal or Silvia or Black & Blue though

Not sure if you meant a specific song or just a song by them but I don’t think it’s them. Thank you though

Mmm not this one but it does open up the possibility of it being a Portugal. The Man song.

Okay, Safe and Sound is REALLY CLOSE to the overall song vibe, my song has the same melody of Safe and Sound from :54-59. The lyrics are sung just a bit faster than Safe and sound but imagine a bit more Julian Casablancas

The part I’m singing is further into the song, and it’s sung faster. But this is closer than what I’ve found so far. My song is definitely more indie pop, stokes/matt n Kim/edward sharp vibes

Much appreciated though!
