i like it all. the first fake coffee cup is just brilliant.

love the herringbone Californias. Shoulda got two pairs. Don't think I've seen em anywhere as of late. Bows & Arrows in Berkley always has a nice selection.

Cool. Do you own all of these?

Love the color and cut of those Left Fields but my butt isn't meant for them. :/

This is a very beautiful, evocative post. I have to wonder, any chance Left Field might make women's canvas khakis any time soon? Or at least provide us with equivalent women's sizing? I am almost certain those 29s would still be too big for a woman who wears a J. Crew 4 or 6, but I can hope. Men's tailoring works pretty well on me, men's sizes, not so much. *sigh*

HOME RUN!

LPC, not sure about Left Field doing women's in the near future(perhaps Christian could confirm), but as they state, the chinos are not vanity sized(as J.Crew does). I would think that a Left Field 28 might indeed work with a little tailoring. Good luck.

james said...

Yes, this is the way I dress and yes, these are my clothes.

LPC said...

Thank you. I suppose if they just didn't fit I could always give them to my skinny son.

Hey LPC,

The LF sizing runs small in the waist. The actual measurement is about .5 less than the tag size. So a size 30 is actually closer to 29, a 29 closer to 28, etc. And, ff they don't work for you, the brand has a generous return policy.

I think you have the best taste of the whole current menswear blogger scene. Your styling reminds me of early (2005ish) Engineered Garments lookbook - as in you go for a great, dressed-down, relaxed everyday look, but with a bit of eccentricity and great materials. The color mix is also nice.

What I am basically saying is "Don't change". No disrespect to Daiki and EG, but a lot of his later stuff is bordering on the costume-y. Makes sense for a brand that crosses over to the fashion world, but he lost a bit of the "great shirt and sweatshirt over it" relaxedness.

Granted, this comes from a guy who thinks of menswear as an interest exclusive to douches, and can't stand any outfit that looks "put together". I am looking at you, Ry'on!

I need to try out those Left Field Chinos. I've only heard great things about them.

james said...

Sangsouvanh Khounvichit, I highly recommend you doing so.

james said...

BilloBallo, wow. Thanks. Glad you dig the site and what I put on it. Always a rad thing to hear from people who connect to something they find on SFs. Huge thanks and hope you keep coming back.
