Bump up....

Balenciaga ss 2008 "Navy" suit. 
Tag size 46 (fits 44, please check measurements) 
Beautiful and rare suit from the early (pre-fw08) Balenciaga mens collections - This is when all the Balenciaga jackets were cut super-slim. 
Dark Navy Blue color with small pinstripes (some photos lightened to show detail). 
Made from light-weight wool. 
Slim notch lapels and 1 button front. 
Fabric covered buttons. 
Fully functioning cuff buttons (see photo). 
Trousers have zip fly. 
Jacket has a great "structured" fit that hugs your body and keeps it's shape even when unbuttoned. 
Jacket is slightly cropped length and works great worn separately. 
Very high quality materials and workmanship. 
Made in Italy.

Condition is Excellent, only worn on a few occasions and carefully stored. 
No flaws and no real signs of wear. 
Only small thing is some of the text on the care tags has faded. 
Jacket pockets still sealed. 
I may still have original tags and will include if I can find them. 
Purchased new at the Balenciaga Los Angeles boutique. 
Original retail was about $2600 (very expensive at the time, a Dior Homme suit was about $1600 then)

Please Note: 
Trousers were professionally altered at the waist and leg to fit like a size 44. 
Also hemmed by a few inches (can be let out if you wish).

Balmain Homme ss 2012 "Waxed" jeans. Tag size 29 (fit more like a tag 28 - see measurements)
Very rare Black wax coated jeans from ss2012. Sold out immediately.
Incredibly detailed wax coating - much, much better than later season jeans.
Check close-up photos .
Finish all done by hand, each pair is unique.
Black stretch denim with uneven matte wax finish all over (not super shiny).
Black zipper pulls.
Intentionally distressed edges/seam details and baked-in creases.
Features all classic Balmain biker details (ribbed knee, waist, Lampo zip pockets at front)
Perfect slim fit with slight stretch to fabric.
Made in Italy (these were one of the last bikers to be made in Italy before all production switched to Japan starting in fw12)
Very rare size 29

 

Condition is Good. Only real sign of wear is some creasing behind the knees.
All distressing is from original treatment.

2 things to note about condition:

 

1. These have been hemmed by a few inches. These had a very long inseam from new, and I had them hemmed to be the same length as the ss11 and fw11 slim bikers (also same as the ss12 washed bikers)

 

2. The ss12 season waxed denim had an issue with the wax coating not letting the "ribbed" areas of the jeans stretch properly, so the thread inside the ribbed part would break and fall out. This has happened to the rear ribbed area (on the waist) on these jeans. It still looks the same and doesn't alter the fit or durability, but if you look closely you can see the stitching is missing. A few tiny threads are loose on the knee ribbed area as well, but very minimal.

 

I just wanted to point these 2 things out, but to be honest the jeans still look great and are in perfect condition otherwise.

Retail was about $1300.
Original tags included.

 

measurements: (as all Balmain bikers these sit low on hips so fit smaller than waist measurement suggests)
waist - 39cm
thigh - 23.5-24cm
inseam - 75cm
hem - 15cm
(these ran very small - fit like a normal tag size 28)
