My black friday splurge, well the part of it that didn’t get oversold and left me without nice jeans 🙁 Haven’t actually seen the flannel in person so I don’t know if it’s gonna be a super soft flanny or something more like the other ludwig flannels I own which are like polyester or something kinda thick and furry. It is very much yellow the alternate being a black and purple one which I just couldn’t see myself wearing.
So really it came between Kaws and Mishka this time around and I am happy to say that Mishka won. The Loveless Flannel in Magenta* from Mishka’s Fall 1 installment has a nice tight fit and the colors pop like a muhfug. It is very well put together and all the stitches on it are perfect (I looked at every single one!). Thanks to the kind folks at un|steady for the nice price.
Got me a Delta hat and a Bowery flannel a few weeks ago (should of got a small!) The Delta is pretty bad ass. It is shorter and wider and I assume it is why the top of the hat is pushed out unlike the Stroll. The Delta sort of rests on your head. It’s made of really soft paper straw and has a nice burgundy silk lining. Me like.
The Bowery Flannel is also pretty awesome, it is super soft and was very comforting while I was sick a few weeks back. I kept getting cold and hot and the flannel was very okay with being put on and off multiple times through out the day. It also kind of reminds me of this blue flannel my dad rock around the house. He would always be cold so rather than bump the heater he wore a thick ass flannel. Warm, thin, soft and fits really nicely. Like I said I should of got a small for the ultimate awesome but the medium is just baggy enough to be a bummy day flanny or an evening walk along the beach flanny. Get some.
Fall 08 Ludwig flannels are the bomb. I finally found a shop with some still in stock. These things are ruthlessly pimp. The fabric, the cut, the buttons… I mean everything about these flannels is the way it should be. I recently scored the red one. Once I get some more loot I will score the grey one to have the ultimate flannel trifecta. By then Ludwig will probably have new flannels, but I wouldn’t know since there site is outdated andf I have yet to hear about a winter look book (unlike mishka who’s got me all ready to buy to some winter shit ~ awesome winter look book!)
