RAWscore - the hit or miss fit and combo space

I've found green boots and brown duck work well, too.

I've said it before I'll say it again. Green and black is my favorite color combo since the 3rd grade when I made a pinch pot that was green and black. I know TMI

Repost from John Lofgren thread…

FIT CHECK: TSPTR x John Lofgren Vest... olive colorway...

I bought this vest in both size M and L... my chest measurements are right at 41" around. The size M measures to around 44" and the L about 46"... Feel wise, the L feels a bit more comfortable to wear than the M. The M is a little snug through the waist and I feel like the length of the L is better... I can definitely feel the tightness through the waist in the M whereas the L has a little more room insiide.  That being said, I'm new-ish to wearing outerwear vests and not exactly sure how they are supposed to fit. What do you guys think? Large or medium or can't tell the difference?

So far have had several votes for large… thinking that may be the best route.

Thanks!

My Moonstars came with black laces to match the black detailing around the ankle opening.

I am experimenting with ecru laces . . . . . Thoughts?

I prefer the ecru for the more vibrant contrast.

Actually I like how the black laces match this blue.

I like the white better but if wearing with bloody new britches, would go w black ones.

Have you considered parachord?  Lol

@den1mhead +2 the ecru look great. They look like marginally wider laces too unless that is one of those colour difference illusions?

That said the black look good too. Bottom line, I really like those Moonstar with the Purcell type toe. I've not seen them for sale by any of the usual UK suppliers

[den1mhead]

@Stuart.T - I bought the white and the blue Moonstars, both with Purcell type toes, from a guy on ebay who bought them from Beams Shinjuku Japan

Love to hear any input y'all have on any aspect of the fit/style.  Are the bright white shoes out of place?

I love a pair of white kicks but I used to be a sneaker head way back when. Looks great, especially with the olive tee.

Off of the recommendation from a forum member (thanks neph!) , glad I found this thread; another new “love about this product” factor is the community [emoji106]

Just got my hands on the 526j which the fit is good EXCEPT a tad short on the length. Unsure if I should keep rocking it hoping it’ll stretch/shape into my body somehow or just trade/sell ? Love this damn jacket except I’m unsure about the length [emoji52]

Here’s the kit with my 555-01 & Red Wing Pecos

There’s no way that’s going to stretch I’m afraid.

Lookswise, I’d say you can get away with it…just.

Personally, I prefer them a bit longer which is why I bought the longer, modified version. That’s only a personal preference though and a lot of people like them short.
