Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen Ramen. Are they linen? Hopefully there is a random robert geller sale in America mid jan when I go

Yes, soft drapey linen. Same material as the pants.

joey you got a fit pic? Or anyone got a decent quality picture of it?

on another note..

Whats this jacket called? And price point? Can't remember seeing it anywhere

Also costs on the plainish black knit and standard grey jeans?

Wrong jacket. The jacket is actually the officers leather jacket.

Price is a bit high. Something around 1400

what about washing then?

most of my waxed gear doesn't get dirty because of the layer. You just have it re-waxed, which is what a lot of outdoor gear shops do.

Question:

If I am to make something out of jersey, or otherwise fabric with a lot of stretch, and I put in a long zipper, the fabric scrunches up and makes big wavy ridges along the zipper. How do I solve this problem? Would adding a strip of heavy non-stretch material along the zipper relieve the problem?

Many thanks in advance.

You can adjust your seam length to have smaller stitches, it reduces puckering/gathering. It might not look good though.

Another trick I learned is using light tissue paper and putting it inbetween the fabrics you're sewing (or in this case, the zipper and fabric). This gives it some stability. After the sewings done just rip out the tissue. I've never done it for a zipper though, but it should work. Might be annoying to try to rip it out. You can also try using regular scotch tape and taping the fabric a half inch away from where you'd going to sew, this prevents the fabric from stretching out. (basting also works)

Depending on your machine, you can also adjust the foot pressure to let the fabric move a bit easier.

i like the idea of it being wrinkly so i guess cheap shit linen is the way to go. thanks!

Well what I was saying though that good linen can still get wrinkly, the difference is it looks better because of the drape. Shit linen tends to be stiffer. Look for something nice and soft.

Have a question about linen.

Does it stay crinkly/"looking like its just come out of a washing machine" all the time, or does it smooth out once your body heats it up?

Depends, but good linen will still look good when its wrinkly. Good thick linen, depending on the weave, won't great wrinkly. Cheap thick linen will get hard sharp creases that are a bitch to get out.

I am such shit at squats

thanks for the vid mouko. Anyone care to school me on why cloak was shut down?

From what I understand, even though they got so much press and awards, backers didn't come flocking. Coupled with the growing prices (where basics like blazers reached almost Dior homme prices, many of my friends would rather spend money on Hedi than Cloak), the cost of running a new store I think this all contributed to it shutting down.

why don't you post this in the appropriate thread?

Because there is no cloak fall 03 thread.

Just realized the video was cut off by youtube. I'm gonna post a fixed version later. Youtubes been giving me problems, my first few attempts it said my video was 50 mins long.

This seasons 48s are true to size or still a little smaller?

They're pretty much true. Though like I said before coats are cut a little roomier than jackets for layering.

^ That's the 5 pocket jean

I posted my regular blog here before ( http://therapysessions.livejournal.com )

But I also started a new blog purely for my line/fashion. http://leonofnewyork.com/blog

super super tight. They shrank at least 2 sizes than what was marked.

^mouko, how much hours would that take when done? thats the same size i want for my next tat

dark, didn't you get a tat from reg from invisible as well?

he's booked 2-3 months in advance right now. However, he usually has 1 or two spots in between. You can only book 3 sessions at a time (2 weeks between each session to allow healing)

my arm outline took about 1 hour and half. Outlines got pretty fast, the shading takes a lot longer.

his rates are 180/hr not including tip. If you do go to him, please hook him up. He's too good not to give props to.

just to let you know, there was a sizing issue with the leathers that season (shrunk too much) so if you're normally at 46, you might want to look for a 50.

apparently originality is not a trait that knucks lives by

mouku that's really nice, any pictures of the sleeve?

This is all I have for now. Starting a business put it on hold for now. They're peonies. We're doing a mix design of peonies and rocks. The other arm will have different set of florals and rocks.

any recos on good artists in NYC?

Regino at Invisible Tattoo in the Lower East Side. Been working on my sleeves + chest pieces. Still in progress, shading is on point

any idea on the price range of robert geller shorts? I need shorts and some of these look great especially in the 2nd last photo above... any more info about those?

You're probably gonna see them somewhere around 250/275

That tomato soup looks striking mouko, have a recipie?

Yeah on my blog: http://therapysessions.livejournal.com/233809.html#cutid1

we have Beard Papa in Sydney too....do you guys get the green tea and choc cream fillings in NYC mouko? they are my favorite

Don't think the one in NYC has green tea, they do have chocolate though. Damn that sounds good

I looked at that and was expecting it to be a fucking banh mi and then I was like WUT.

vinamee dint mek no banh MEH wut wut wut.

haha. I upgraded my banh mi recipe, but it takes all day to make the meat. I use David Chang's recipe for roasted pork belly instead of chinese bbq pork. Shits the bomb, everyone needs to try it.
