DROPS. 48 Hour Sale: Carpe Diem, Zam Barrett, MA+, Cloak

[Gavroche]

*OK: AN EXTRA 48 HOURS. I AM TAKING OFFERS IF YOU TAKE MULTIPLE ITEMS.*

 

This is a 48 hour sale (or less), mostly made of things that I don't want to part with -- but I am willing to do so in order to fund the purchase of an item that I want. If the 48 hours passes, or if the item goes to someone else, these come down. These are ridiculous prices, designed to move right now.

 

I don't have time to do measurements and all that.

 

All prices include shipping (in the CONUS) and Paypal fees. 

 

Zam Barrett Overlocked Minimalist DNA Jeans in Raw Grey (Size 50 and fits True, Condition: 8/10): $100

 

Bought these as a sample from Zam. Absolutely gorgeous slight sheen, built like tanks. They have been worn 8 or so times, in very good condition with no damage.

 

First pic shows color best,others show details.

Alexandre Plokhov Black Neck Strap Shirt, Sz S (9.5/10): $50

 

This is essentially brand new, I've never worn it and I think it was purchased new. Indentations/coloring from the buttons on the placket is the only thing I can see that might constitute "wear". No size tag that I can see, but fits like a small 46. Gorgeous fabric, buttons, and subtle details. The most "Cloak" of his shirts that I've handled. Awesome and understated neck detail, subtle oversized front pockets, beautiful two-toned black fabric.

Cloak 2006 Deep Cotton-Cashmere V-Neck, Sz S (9/10): SOLD!

***Would definitely trade for a M or L.

 

Extremely rare! Cloak's best light sweater in a gorgeous gunmetal grey. I really wish I could keep this, but it's just too small. Sooooo many subtle details: deep neck, perforations throughout, ribbing at shoulders and cuffs, rolled hems. This, to me, was Cloak in its essence: a subtle piece whose differences and uniqueness take a minute to settle in. It's in very good shape (ignore the wrinkles from storage): the tag is missing a few threads, and I reinforced the pits (unnoticeable) before wearing as these sweaters had a production issue there. Still has that "new" sheen.

Cloak 2006 Fishnet/Mesh Sweater, Sz S (8/10): SOLD!

 

(Oops: mis-listed the size. It's a small that fits oversized... good for a standard 48/M fitted).

 

Everyone knows this piece, and it's in quite good condition (the mesh is supposed to wear away). Extremely soft and luxurious, surprisingly wearable with an incredible neck detail.

Cloak 2006 Cotton/Cashmere Grey Hooded Sweater Vest, Sz M (9/10): SOLD!

 

Extremely wearable, soft, brilliant piece in the gunmetal grey color that really made these sweaters. Fits closer to a S than a M. Wonderful layering piece.

Gray Carpe Diem Linen Over Leather, Size 42 (Fit 42-43; Condition = 8.5/10): SOLD!!

 

Extremely rare boots in exceptional condition. I have never worn them. It looks like they've been worn maybe 5-8 times. Only the tiniest amount of heel wear, essentially the perfect time to vibram them. They only come with the linen laces, and no box.

Cloak 2006 Military V-Neck Bomber in Green, Sz M (9/10): SOLD

 

Perfect, slim-fitting bomber jacket w/ epaulet and wolf button details. Made in Italy, really fantastic piece. It's been worn minimally -- in near perfect shape w/ just a small amount of wear.

MA+ Kangaroo Staple Derbies, Sz 44 (Fits 43-44; Condition = 7.5/10): $SOLD

 

This is an insane price for excellent condition derbies. These are the cool derbies with the scrunched/mottled toes, light and perfect for summer, they really show off the kangaroo leather.

 

But there are some catches. I dyed them black myself (from dark brown); they are a musky black with some reddish undertones. I did a great job on the upper, but some dye dripped onto the sole to create a bit of unevenness there. I'd recommend just using black shoe polish on the sole. I had the new MA+ heel put on, and a new vibram. They're in excellent overall condition, worn maybe 15 times. No damage, just some general wear.

 

The big catch: I won't sell these unless I also sell the Carpe Diems (... i.e. I'll sell them openly if/when the CDs sell).  

 

I apologize for mediocre photos.

Cloak 2006 Linen/Cotton Military Sweater, Sz L (10/10):  SOLD

 

In perfect condition as far as I can tell (it has all the buttons, I was just being lazy in the photos). Fits a little oversized. The cottom/linen blend is really special with an interesting gauzy dry hand feel. The colors are amazing. One of the best runs of Cloak's sweaters.

One and only one bump and drop. Absurd price on the Carpes now, taking offers (if buying multiple items) on the rest. I would cut an excellent deal for the whole Cloak lot.
