[James Vincent]

Was a good night. On my way out for the day, I'll get to sorting the rest of the photos soon.

[JayPee]

Hope the meet up was good.

I hit up Fat Freddys Drop at The Forum last night, such a good gig! Never disappoint.

Where did you all end up?

[fallen angels]

I'm going to Sydney in December (xmas to new years). is it really too hot to wear jeans during that time?

[homme.homme]

i wear jeans to work all through that period but i am in a nice air conditioned office all day. i would opt for shorts.

[homme.homme]

sucks i missed the meet up. ended up going going to canberra that night. sigh.

at times yes. but just about everywhere has air conditioning and at night is fine.

Hey guys,

Vlada's still the go-to place for alterations? What about that Fedele D place? Need to take in the waist on suit pants I got on supermarket

Also anyone has a go-to cobbler for boots? Will be getting _7 combats this week. Looking to slap some protection on there. Looking for insoles as well, not sure where to get Scholl's in Sydney, priceline or something?

[wept]

what combats notsicknorwell? the ww2 paratrooper style?

nice pickup on the julius suit as well.

[notsicknorwell]

The FW09 ones in black.

I got them in Size 3 but am starting to think I should've gotten a Size 2 instead, apparently they're quite generously sized. Better bigger than smaller though.

would recommend something like this..

raw denim is just to much most days, especially around christmas and new years which seems to be +40°C(104+°F) the last three or four years..maybe last year was a bit cooler though?? I wasn't in Syndey... You could get away with over dye denim or light cotton pants... maybe.. I wouldn't rely on them personally.

[notsicknorwell]

^ CM?

Sydney wasn't as terribly hot as Melbourne was last December. But yes, wearing jeans over the Christmas period is not cool, your jean pockets are going to turn yellow in no time.

do you know your foot sizing in EU notsicknorwell?

im a 42EU and i have the julius engineers in a size 2.

[notsicknorwell]

do you know your foot sizing in EU notsicknorwell?

im a 42EU and i have the julius engineers in a size 2.

I normally wear US Size 10/EU 44 but always laced up tight + socks. Rough measurement of my foot places me at 26.5cms tho, which is what most of the Japanese webstores quote for a size 2.

[wept]

i think youll be fine with a 3 (pretty sure). dont quote me on that though.

are you sure.. that measurement seems two sizes to small for a 44. If your foot measures 26.5cm I would rec a size1 in Julius boots.. a size 2 for a non snug fit..

Done with tracing my foot on paper, it's not terribly accurate. We'll find out soon enough.

Anyhoo, what shorts were those in your earlier post?

oh goddamn those the ones random is selling. no wonder the picture looked familiar.

[notsicknorwell]

Any comments on Coombes in the Strand for shoes?

Also Vlada's and Fedele D, haven't been to Vlada's since 2007.

[kickeye]

Theres a new shop on King St. in Newtown called Mag Nation

Pretty cool magazine shop

[ajax]

oh nice, saw that in melb.. quite a lot of imported fashion mags, all in english i think (no jap etc)

[homme.homme]

speaking of mags y'all should check out my friend's sydney based magazine 'Happenstance'. Up to issue 2 and it is bloody good.

http://happenstancemagazine.com/

if the amazing design and actually worth reading content isn't good enough reason to buy there is at least 2 random photos of me in there!

Any comments on Coombes in the Strand for shoes?

Fuck them. Doesn't stock shoe cream. Has no idea what it is.

Mildly condescending attitude.

Will be sending my shoes back to the manufacturers for resoling etc when needed.

Positive that there isn't a single competent cobbler in Australia.
