found a shirt today at the thrift store... has a black on black helmut lang tag and a size tag with made in italy on it.

any ideas

[ejm285]

any pics?

sounds like an og helmut piece, pre-prada

*bondage details, elastic straps, or "backstage" screenprints are a plus

i have a hl ma-1 that has black on black tags which is pre-prada. for five bucks your shirt was a pretty good deal.

edit; if you were interested

which online retailers carry Paul Harnden?

I know for sure l'eclaireur in Paris carries Paul Harnden in store (quite a bit of it too) but can't find it online (http://shop.leclaireur.com/designers.aspx?ms=1), might want to email them in about it.

Has anyone here had experience with sending any pieces of clothing off to a professional dyer? I've got a pair of black acne johns that have faded to an almost grey shade over time which I'd like to get back to their original colour. I've used the black dylon powder in the past but it wouldn't even hold on 100% cotton white tees after 1 wash and often ended up in a shade of blue instead. Heard similar stories about dye from other companies as well so I'm a little sceptical of trying it myself.

From exp. all dye is destined to fade over time especially with wash and exposure to sunlight.

I would imagine the rate of fading would depend on the process of dying, absorbance of dye and 'wear&tear'.

I would also IMAGINE any sort of external 'superficial' dying would not be as 'fade-proof' as the dying during the pieces manufacturing process.

HOWEVER I have not really indulged in any professional re-dying or the likes but I would IMAGINE it would be similar to sort of polishing or treating a leather shoe for example, a piece that would require continual maintenance to perserve.

How much u luf dat denim homi ?

tl;dr I have no idea but I THINK this is how it would turn out.

Perhaps I was a little generous when I said "faded over time" since the shade had gotten considerably lighter after just the first wash (even played by the care label rules bruv). I see what you're saying tho and kinda thought that would be the case. No chance I'd be paying £5+ on dye every other week or so just to maintain their colour either. Also they're just 100% cotton sweatpants which makes me think it might work a bit better than if they were denim etc..

Gonna email a few places and see what they've got to say

Can anyone ID these boots? Margiela I'm guessing, I can tell that I can't afford them, however I just need to know.

Do anyone know were I can find the apc x carhartt beanie from this season? Seems to be sold out everywhere

[hyp7]

Can anyone id the shoes Raf is wearing here (from Vogue December 2012)? The shape is just so perfect--guessing Church's maybe, cause I heard somewhere they produce the derbies for his men's line.

[expo3]

My guess would be Churche's too. Everything about that fit is perfect.

These look kinda similar except for the sole.

is some one able to tell me the artist's name behind the mashup in the red square?

[froople]

Anyone have any advice as to what shoes to wear with loose, harem-esque pants? I like the sneakers in this fit but sometimes it just won't go with the top piece as well.

Can anybody let me know the shoe lace length for Rick sneakers?

Hi, I tried to do a search but couldn't find anything about the korean website gloomyeyes.com. Has anyone ordered from there before? I am wondering about the quality of their items maybe in comparison to studhomme. Thanks in advance!

Anyone know of any shirts similar to this Prada one here?

Obviously they exist, I've just been looking for a while now and can't seem to have any luck. I know my best bet is probably just a vintage shirt but is there anyone out there who can enlighten me?

I was going to buy this Pyrex vision hoodie, and was waiting a few days for money to transfer to my paypal, but then Kanye had a concert where he was wearing this and all the dick riders bought all of the stock in a few hours. So is there anywhere where I can go to get a high quality print like this done? I only want one hoodie, and my friend told me you usually have to buy in bulk.
