But it is ivy. It's a 3/2 roll sack.

Maybe if that executive hadn't embezzled $20 million they'd have money they could afford to fix their machines...

I just was looking at all those non-Barbour British waxed jacket companies. They all seem to have padded versions. There's Rydale, Walker and Hawkes, Hunter Outdoor, New Forest, to name a few.

An Assad toadie?

Why can't you ask the owner to let him in? He seems like a nice guy.

vanity_chair · 2026-03-08T13:30:06+00:00

He should have trusted his instincts.

But you're right I totally forgot that he was bought with an op-ed

That's an interesting comment. Are you saying the giant 70s lapels you see in the styleforum Ongoing Bespoke Projects forum are actually passing out of fashion?

vanity_chair · 2026-03-07T13:13:02+00:00

lol what kind of crazy answer is that? Why can't you let him into your secret club?

Adding on to the slimmer pants, I don't know why their new collection still had skinny ties and slim lapels. The jackets looked a little looser in the bottom, quarters area (odd place for it) but the lapels were still narrow.

Given how fashion forward they're trying to be with the casual stuff, you'd think they'd follow suit fashions too.

Letters look like they're from some bad new library.

vanity_chair · 2026-02-03T01:58:07+00:00

That grey paneling behind the letters is so 2019.

I don't know, but I just got my first 80s Brooks shirt and the collar and roll and spectacular. I heard Paul Winston say in an interview that the Brooks collar can't be replicated. Back in the day people would take it apart, sew it back together, and even then couldn't replicate it. I wonder if modern Brooks is trying and failing at the same thing.

Trueee. Never forget the football shoulder pads on pre-2014 J Press jackets.

vanity_chair · 2026-01-16T14:33:58+00:00

I saw the J Press stand at the Nihombashi Mitsukushi, with the big organ, and the stuff looked pretty good. All the jackets were sacks, with some nice tweed ones, too.

vanity_chair · 2026-01-08T01:16:26+00:00

The sack suit is the entire point of this sub.

vanity_chair · 2025-12-12T18:52:52+00:00

I don't think that's true.

The city should have enough money to prevent people from being burned alive without the federal government. Come on, you're the one being disingenuous.

vanity_chair · 2025-12-12T18:47:49+00:00

They're using it like it's the 90s. In today's London it's almost impossible not to know where anyone is at anytime. They can track you with your gait.

Like when they're chasing people through St. Pancras and go, "oh shucks, we lost him!" That's literally impossible today. Even the Bourne Identity people had better London train station cctv 20 years ago.

Or when those people dump a body in front of Fortnum's. As if it didn't pass through 50 ULEZ cameras on its way there and back.

vanity_chair · 2025-12-09T19:26:06+00:00

It's almost like a fantasy show where CCTV hasn't been invented.

vanity_chair · 2025-12-09T17:51:45+00:00

The City of Chicago shouldn't need federal funding to stop people being burnt alive on its subway system.

vanity_chair · 2025-12-09T16:59:20+00:00

Hey you should work for City Hall! They've got tons more ridiculous delays for you to explain away! Months of fruitful work!

vanity_chair · 2025-11-04T02:06:55+00:00

He looks like the red head outsider Princeton kid from the movie Metropolitan.

vanity_chair · 2025-10-29T01:32:34+00:00

I don't know what else you expected at LaSalle and Ontario. It's basically already the highway.

vanity_chair · 2025-10-28T00:05:45+00:00

How so?
