I am a huge raw leather fan and while the Suede adidas are nice, they just won't be as bombproof as the Chile 62's. Anyhoo it's all in the eye of the beer holder... but the Chile 62's are one hell of a trainer and are a cult classic for good reason imo.

Its all about these tbh:

Seriously though, Gazelle OG are my favorite adidas originals I think.

By the way this is the Tommy Hilfiger "Tailored Collection Vintage Peacoat" I bought in the UK. I've never seen one like it before and still never do on the streets. Beautiful colour and fit.
I also bought the Tommy Hilfiger "New Bobby TT Check" blazer with removable body warmer which I really like (mine s bluc check but the photo is of plain version and the photo isn't very good) as a very smart mild to cool weather jacket:
I tried a pair on but the heel arch is very high, it felt uncomfortable. In fact I think Adidas trainers in general are weirdly shaped compared to just about any other brand I can think of. I take a UK 11 in them (11.5 in the Chile 62's) and I am usually spot on a Size 10.

Yes Gazelle are a strange fit, they are also very thin so if you have wide feet then they will be trouble.
That coat is very nice, you've redeemed yourself now after that last post

Any ideas where I can get something very similar to this?

I can't find anything with a cut similar, or as a good colour. Would happily spend more than their sale price if it was in stock too :/

And your size is...?
This is similar, albeit at full price http://www.asos.com/asos/asos-slim-...talstyles=3&gridsize=3&gridrow=1&gridcolumn=1
I did post links to all of these at sale price ages ago when they had tons of sizes in stock, shame as now as they may not be produced again. I had a similar problem when trying to find this Harris Tweed pea coat which I was mildly obsessed with trying to get hold of: http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Harris-Tweed-Peacoat/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3137942

That does look nice. Not sure what will pair nicer with jeans though.
That or Nexts offerings. (http://www.next.co.uk/x57442s1).
I doubt they will, there blazers are quite limited now sadly.

I tried a couple of Next blazers and returned them as the built-in shoulder pads they add to them were too thick, and so thus looked blocky and horrendously outdated. Ugh.
The ASOS ones in comparison don't have that and look incredibly form-fitting.

Updating my trainers for the spring / summer months.
Out with the old thanks to ebay:
Making a start but still after a few more pairs:

I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread - but can anyone remind me of a place that sells jeans for slim waists and large thighs? I'm running out of jeans at the moment, they last about a year as they end up wearing away at the thigh where they rub. 95% of the off the peg jeans just don't fit unless I opt for a 38" waist which is ridiculous.
I've tried sites such as high and mighty and jacamo, but they tend to cater for the very big, or the tall and not for oddities with small wastes, large thighs, and regular sort of height.

Did you try the Levis that a couple of us suggested in a different thread? They're sold as an athletic fit and are much larger in the thighs.
I'd just buy a bunch of different Levi cuts and see which fits best.

Yes I had a look.... they're just so expensive
I think you're right - I'll have to do this.
I'll give them a go. Anyone try the 541s which are supposed to be "athletic" fit?
