Good writeups on Vintage YSL
Hi. Im interested to learn more about vintage YSL, especially tailoring from the 80s and 90s. Are there any good writeups on what was characteristic for that period of YSL?
(On a secondary note I would also be interested in similar writeups on Armani in that period)

Leather jacket care
Hi there. I recently got myself my first real leather jacket secondhand. (Aero Leather in Steerhide). I want to make sure that I treat it correctly. I know that ultimately leather jackets are nothing you should baby too much, but at the same time Im a bit afraid that I do inadvertendly damage it.
So here are a few questions:
1. How can I tell when the jacket needs some care? i.e. how will it feel/look when its time?
2. what kind of product should i use?
3. I wear the jacket when commuting to work with my bicycle, so it gets wet on occasion. Anything in particular i need to look out for in regard to it getting rained on?
thanks in advance!

Coulottes brand recommendations
Hi! Im looking for brad recs for coulottes, sometimes also called gaucho pants. That is essentially very high waisted, wide, flared pants.
I am aware of sfc gauchos, but these are incredibly expensive when imported into the eu, so I want to check my options.
They seem to be more common in womenswear, absolutely open to that if they fit me.
What im looking for specifically:
-At least 13'' rise, preferably 15''
-36'' waist circumference
-non-elastic waist, preferrably with belt loops
- preferrably EU based brands so I don't have to fuck with import fees etc.
What im flexible about:
-Fabric weight, though drapey fabrics are kinda neccessary i feel
-colour
- whether they fit cropped or down to the feet
-whether they fit cropped or long.
Budget: Less expensive as the sfc ones preferrably. Mainly looking to explore whats out there and get a better idea what I want.

Doc Martens/Solovair sizing question
Simple question really: How similar are Solovair and Doc Marten in terms of sizing? I would instinctively assume very, bc they used to work together etc, but i just wanted to make sure, bc you never know.
Thinking about visiting the doc martens store one town over tomorrow to nail my size for some potential future thrifts/online orders.

Jungle Jacket vs Jungle Shirt
I am considering getting some kind of jungle Jacket or M65 to lean more into some 70s counter culture bullshit.
What I have noticed is that sometimes what seems to be the same garment is either described as a jungle jacket or jungle shirt. What exactly is the difference? Also is the M65 a Jungle jacket or something different?
Also if you know of any good guides on the different varieties of this specific garment lmk

is it possible to taper a straight cut jeans around the knee, thus creating a bootcut?
Hi everyone. Basically see the question above. I have a jean in a very relaxed straight cut (10'' wide hem) and was wondering if I could have a tailor just narrow it in some places along the leg to turn it into a bootcut? Or is this a stupid idea?

Question about No Man Walks alone Discount code
I got a 50€ discount code for signing up to their newsletter, which is only valid for purchases of a total of 250€ and above.
What happens if I purchase something through them with a total of 250+€ but then return some of it bc i don't like it/it does not fit well? Will that invalidate the 50€ discount?
Does anyone have any kind of experience with that?
