[Marcus]

Thanks.

Yes the gloves are indeed warm. Even though they look pretty slick, they are actually quite thick and when they "fit like a glove" (hah) tightly round your hand, they keep them nice and cozy.

[minya]

Holy crap, Marcus, that stuff is beautiful... but that probably cost you somewhere around $3000, eh?

Nevertheless, definitely gorgeous. You seem like a pretty big guy, I'm surprised you can fit into Cloak's stuff.

[Marcus]

Yeah I'm a pretty big guy. The cloak stuff is tight, but they even had larger sizes. The fit of the coat is pretty snug and only leaves room for a shirt and thin sweater, but that just keeps me more warm I guess. The rpm's are a bit baggy and I sometimes rather like to use some other pants with those particular clothes.

I love black...

Needless to say, this is my favorite outfit for winter. Too bad I can't wear it every day....

Well, congrats, it's a beautiful outfit.

Man, I wanna go shopping in NYC.

[Marcus]

For sure.

Just wondering around Soho is great. The cloak store is awesome.

I went to NYC just a week ago and thought: what the hell. I'll never be able to buy the stuff I want in the next long space of time. I might as well buy something really nice that I really want, instead of spending small cash here and there.

[minya]

BTW, why are those RPM's called "black indigo"? Are they actually indigo?

[Marcus]

I'm pretty sure that's what the guy at the store said. I don't think that's the name of the pant though. I am by no means a denim expert and I have no idea whether black indigo even exist. I just recall the guy saying it. Anyway, they are black jeans...

[boystory]

i needed grey jeans and this was the only company i knew making slim fitting ones.

(in navy/flourescent green)

gold fronts.

[dnnsmanace]

For dior homme, its more expensive because of japanese markups. I only use it for stuff that i'm desperate to find (the armwarmers often go on ebay for up to $500.00..no joke!)

For things like undercover or japanese stuff (that have a markup here in the states) it's cheaper. I picked up some fall winter undercover boots for 700 (retail in japan) that are 1300 here in the states.

I use

since pretty much all auctioners don't ship internationally. He charges a fee (10%), but for a lot of stuff its worth it.
