  1. was wondering if there was any difference in the materials used for sample pieces versus the production pieces. Are the sample pieces made with superior/inferior/similar quality fabrics?

    The sample pieces are made to the exact same specification so that Ervell can see his collection as a whole. He may slightly differ something in the final retail production but it's not like a paper prototype.

  2. What is it your exactly looking for? Well as far as I know, YSL suits can be bought from Ebay with its entire set. Though its own by Gucci, the suits are made in France and because it is a French label, not italian.

  3. Melbourne is a greater than Sydney overall in terms of what it can offer culturally and musically. The fashion sense and in particular the younger kids are in more intelligent when it comes to music and fashion. But if you have lived in Sydney or Melbourne all your life, there isn't many things that would make you change I mean for for its worth, the disadvantages are there but you live and deal with it. I've been living in Sydney for my entire life - since we're Supertalk members the fashion in Sydney is very expensive. You would most likely get to know the guys who own a boutique store in Sydney or Melbourne really well but not to hurt them, most of the things they try and bring over would already been available overseas and if you plan to buy something you really like, you probably could get it online from the States and save up $50-$100. I think that is money worth saving.

    There isn't such a high demand for original innovative fashion but it is gradually coming in because the store owners travel and find what they like and bring it back but yes, the good example is the APC's. Costs $250 in Sydney but I got mine on sale and my size for $98 US which is about $120. That is less than a pair of Lee's and they're APC's which is the icing on the cake.

    I think for what its worth, if you want to get away from a very busy and events city where its a hectic environment, Sydney or Melbourne has the freedom where you feel you can go wherever you like without having to do or go somewhere and have tp dress up. It's not as vibrant or extremely busy like NYC or Berlin for example but both cities have great nightlife and restaurants and there is still really good art/culture scenes.

    The best idea personally to find a place to stay in London and work there for a while and use that as a basis to travel around Europe with ease. This way, you have British Pounds which beats all other currencies.

    I think the overall thing Europeans would say they want to just get away from everything that is European and just be able to relax the Australian way.

  4. I got this leather conditioner yesterday from the shoe company Florsheim. It's actually the right product to use to protect my leather bag but its scent is not very pleasant. Does anyone or can anyone recommend me a good leather protector or conditioner that has the right ingredients (i.e. lanonlin, minerals) but also has a nice scent? I'm hoping one of these has a scent like leather or like wood?

    Or are all these leather conditioning products have the same smell?

  5. I have been looking high and low for a really simple yet sophisticated leather stachel or messenger bag. I've looked at all the known labels. Paul Smith have a nice one but is very expensive. I don't really want one that is fully hand-made or italian but one like this:

    I have my heart set on this fred perry bag but not quite sure about quality:

    what do you guys think?

  6. I am selling my Le Coq Sportif Bag. It is still in very good condition and comes in a chocolate brown colour, made of highly durable PVC material.

    It has many compartments to store virtually anything. Front flap pocket, back pocket (w/ mobile phone slot), metal clip buckle enclosure, inner compartment (for pencils) and the main compartment with a zip pocket. The overall bag is opened/closed by a zip.

    The only image reference similar to mine is this:

    COQ-LCS-524W7-BROWN_1_P.JPG

    My one however has the rooster emblem in the back and the le coq sportif logo on the lower right.

    Selling it for $40. + shipping.

    If you are interested please PM me!

    (I am also willing to negotiate)

    Please note: It has a worn out deconstructed look at this was how the bag was manufactured for its look.
