If you ever feel like selling the Ann SS08 sneakers...

A beautiful Julius coat from A/W 2009-2010. Size 3, best for a 48 or big 46. Perfect condition. Realised in a unique black reversed leather (with veins showing, see close-up) that has been treated for a subtly waxed/aged appearance. The leather is heavy, substantial and has a pronounced patina. This coat was the most expensive leather piece of the season, and retailed for almost $4,000. You can find some runway photos in the album but the fit is pretty weird, and not at all representative of the retail version for sale here.
As far as the style is concerned, I would say this is a garment for those that want the unique slim fit of Julius outerwear while maintaining a more sober aesthetic. Still, this is by no means an ordinary coat: from very sharp cut to the extremely high quality of the construction, it is quite edgy and characteristically Julius. You know how most leather coats have that ugly horizontal seam on the waist, joining two leather pieces? This one doesn't, as a single piece of hide has been used. This is much more expensive, and in fact when Julius reissued this in the next season they used smaller pieces of leather for the front. So, the long vertical lines on both sides of the coat are actually badass elongated darts. This construction is fully echoed on the interior cupro lining, in a beautiful bronze/grey shade on the body and black on the sleeves.
Other details include: a stand-up collar with narrow topstitching on its back, handsome slim lapels with a slight curve, buttonless cuffs with minimalist slits, chunky horn buttons for the front, a long back vent and one of my favourite shoulder shapes: padded, yet subtle enough to pass off as an unstructured shoulder. The sleeve cap is roped, giving them a very subtle dent. As the shoulders are very narrow, the result is a tailored version of Julius' shrink-wrapped fit that we all know and love. The waist is cut a bit like BBS: snug but somehow straight, resulting in a form-fitting shape that exaggerates the torso without producing the effeminate curve of Rick's tailoring.
Overall, this is a beautiful coat from a solid Julius season. When I bought it I thought my search for the black coat was over, but I'm going more for a period costume thing these days. Still, writing this description made me a bit sad for selling; a designer item that is so well made is really quite rare even in this supposedly quality-oriented market. £750.

all sold!
High-neck Intarsia from AW11 'Limo' in a size M that will fit a 48 or a very slim 50. Rick's most popular leather jacket in a supple and luscious oiled calf that is probable the softest Rick leather I've handled. Not much information needed for this one, one of Rick's most coveted designs. There's a reason why it's released almost every season (although currently unavailable). The slim proportions and sporty detailing make for a very sharp garment with a very flattering silhouette, while the incredibly soft leather makes it more comfortable than an everyday hoodie. Purchased for Mr Porter with a retail of $3,110 and in excellent shape with no signs of wear. Asking only £650 or best offer.

Original SS09 'Strutter' Bauhaus in a size S that will fit a 46 or slim 48. One of Rick's most coveted and iconic leather designs. The colour is dust (grey with minor hints of brown) in a thick and stiff waxed lamb with a beautiful patina and well defined grains. The jacket feels a bit like armor when worn, while Rick's ingenious tailoring allows for surprisingly comfortable movement. The pattern is remarkable, with a panelled armpit construction, multiple darts on the back and the iconic Bauhaus back. The fabric content tags were removed but this is obviously 100% legit. Retailed for $2,400. Asking SOLD. [url=http://imgur.com/a/u9Vhr]Photos here

Up for sale is a rare Helmut Lang gas mask bag from the A/W 2003-2004 collection. 12" width x 10" height x 3" depth (great for going out/small notebook). HL bags and accessories from this period were made by Prada, whose quality is stellar when it comes to leather goods. The bag's style is very 2003-2004 Helmut Lang, with asymmetric details, abstract-military inspired forms and a deep black colourway.
The materials used for this bag are all excellent. The leather is a high quality calf nappa with a very nice grain. It has been treated somehow, making it hard-wearing and waterproof. The interior is fully lined in black cotton flat weave. All hardware is realized in black/gunmetal, complementing the severity of the design.
The front has a flap and three exposed zippers, all of which feature HL-branded leather pulls. The back has a single zipped unit, a D-ring and a military inspired round opening. The interior has two more pockets (one zipped). The sides of the bag bag are 'framed' by a heavy cotton grosgrain tape secured by metal studs, which gives it structure and allows for things to be attached to its exterior. The strap is made from the same material and is adjustable. Heavy X-topstitching is found throughout.
