  1. so I'm bumping a 2 year-old thread.

    (hi everyone)

    I bought the Pattern Recognition "Slender Cut" MA-1 a few months ago, from History Preservation. It's amazing. It makes me look kind of like a turtle, but a tough, buff turtle (like a mutant ninja turtle) and I dig the look.

    fyi, it's not very slender, but I like it anyway. Can't even imagine what the original aka "heritage" cut must be like.

    I love it but it's still really stiff. does anyone know if these jackets will soften up and age at all? I'd love for this jacket to get a little more worked in, but, it's nylon, so who knows...

  2. my belted leather in sz 46 fits peeeerrrrrfect, and fits about the same as my souvenir jacket with leather trim in the same size. i hope the sizing doesn't change too much for next season!

    agreed, my belted leather in 48 fits like an absolute dream. I preordered some fw08 stuff in 48... hope it all fits me!

  3. picked up these two Lmaltieri shirts hoping I would somehow fit into them... and I didn't. they are 100% cotton with trademark Lmaltieri details -- rough seams, reversed placket, and amazing fabric (the cotton feels and looks almost like silk)... they're from 2002 and seem to be in immaculate condition -- they look essentially unworn. the colors are beautiful as well -- the first shirt is a deep, dark purple, like an eggplant, that looks dark brown in certain lights. the second shirt is crisp white, NOT ice blue as my terrible photography skills seem to suggest.

    as to sizing -- these shirts are both marked size 3 and would be fitted on a sz 46 and somewhat loose on a sz 44. really quick measurements here--

    shoulder-shoulder -- 16"

    pit-pit -- 18"

    overall length -- 24"

    sleeve length -- 24"

    I'm asking $210 shipped in the US per shirt, or $385 shipped if you buy both. int'l slightly extra.

    also up is a pair of Alfredo Bannister dark brown elongated combat boots. size 43 -- not especially oversized, so these could easily work for a sz 42 with an insole. I love these things but I rarely wear them anymore, and I could use the closet space. these have been worn quite a few times and are well taken care of, but please note that there is a scratch on one of the toe boxes -- I've kept the leather in good shape but this scratch is still noticeable... this is only a cosmetic flaw and didn't damage the leather, but it's still there. these retailed for 38,000 yen and with current exchange/proxy fees that would bring them close to $450 shipped... I'm asking $220 shipped within the US.

    coming later: buttonup shirts from Engineered Garments + Wings & Horns, reversible nylon jacket from H&M, and a few other goodies (all $60 or less)....

  4. Does this shit ever come to regular H&Ms or just NY, Japan, etc?
    I believe this will drop in about 5-10 US stores -- the flagship ones, i.e. the ones that carry Mens Black Label.... NYC, DC (iirc), Toronto, San Francisco, and probably a few others.
  5. really? i didn't even think it was nearly as good as Redlight, which by the way is awesome, much less the best album of the year.

    I didn't really like the older Grails albums at all. Dropping the violinist (apparently he was homeless?) had such an enormous impact on their sound, imo, and transported them from interesting-but-still-fairly-generic post-rock of their first few albums to a totally different, jazzy, more diverse sound of BTP (and the new album too, but less so). Black Tar Prophecies, to me, is like sitting in a jazz cafe in Nepal high in the mountains while smoking hash and watching strange Buddhist ritual dances, or something.
