C.E has been V good to me lately.
I really want to get into comfy-core; what do?

It's so hard to picture what yohji pants will look like when worn.
What do you guys think of these

>>11139801
i have those pretty sure
>>11139810
oh cool they fit really nicely. What size are they, and if you don't mind me asking, how tall are you?
>>11139816
these are small and i was 5'9" there 5'10" now but you should check specific inseam of yours.
I just bought a Number (N)ine X Visvim Nomad. Black, Size L. Very excited.
>>11139832
I'm the same height. The 79cm of inseam of those would be too long. these might be not bad

but look like they have too much taper
Would you generally size up if you are 5'9?
Like if I was a med I would buy a l Bape hoodie?
>>11139990
Medium should fit you dude.
6'0 and I wear large.
>>11139993
Alright then
how do y'all like kapital
>>11139882
haha i have those too or very similar. taper is tad annoying.

I dig, especially their boro and century denims. Too bad they sell out quick tho in their online stores otherwise would have copped a pair of persimon dyed century denim.
Also i guess they match best with similar-ish aesthetics, which makes em a bit tricky to pair since they tend to sort of stand out. Easily done with jap brands like needles and visvim
>>11139810
embarrassing
>>11140000
A cool aesthetic but kinda hard to pull off. I got a Ring Coat in wool and it just wasn't for me (and kind of cumbersome to wear). You really have to embrace the wabi-sabi/not giving a fuck look, and I think it looks a lot better on bearded people.
The price is actually pretty good and so is the quality, but prices at western retailers are ridiculous.

Someone offered to trade their sanjuro coat for my SS101 jacket.
I already have a noragi, but I really do enjoy the coat's aesthetics but have been at a loss at how I could incorporate the sanjuro coat into my style.
Also anyone have an idea on the sizing? They've got a size 2, and I wear a size 2 linen noragi with the arm holes' french seams opened up.
>>11140000
I'm too big(broad shoulders and wide back) to make the most out of what Kapital makes.
There's a certain aesthetic that their pieces together bring. Something like 'been there, done that" kind of feeling.
Sizing on new bape shark hoodies?
>>11140164
Same as always. Bape sizing hasn't changed in ages.
I'm 5'11 and usually a 34 waist. What size should I be looking at for Yohji pants?
>>11140167
So size up from American sizing?
This is one of the most hyped recent Visvim pieces but outside of the lookbook I've never really seen someone wear it well. I think it's the 3/4 sleeve that makes it look awkward.
Feel the same way about the Lhamo, it just looks awkward worn as a top layer over a simple white t-shirt or something. A lot of Visvim tops seem like they're meant to be used as a mid layer and look off otherwise.

you leave your flyover state school in a skirt...
>>11139754
Been loving Kokontozai
>>11140292
You're completely right. Aside from the lookbook, the only other person to wear it and not look awkward would have to be eugene tong.

Crewneck?
Hoodie if you want a street wear kind of vibe.

I think John Mayer pulls off some of this stuff pretty decently. Although I agree that the 3/4 sleeve is a little awkward in the down bomber design. The regular denim noragi's benefit in that their sleeves can be cuffed as well as the fabric "falling" better with the sleeve shape.

this is the worst thread on /fa/ in recent memory
>>11140292
Of course this is a professionally shot lookbook and whatnot but I think it looks best with short sleeves. Long sleeves poking out under can create an interesting look but is usually just weird.
>>11140292
I love this piece so much, but yeah, I can't really see myself pulling it off.
