huh dj still stocking fp ? last time i went there i didnt see any fp

[CBM]

i remember for a little while general pants even had the polos, although they were the lower-quality ones with the 'S M L' tags instead of the normal better-quality ones. don't know if they still have 'em though.

[DJI]

tbh I don't really spend much/any time in dj's. last I knew there was one rack of FP clothes, your best bet is still prime on lt. collins st or the brunswick store. either that or just buy online, it'd be cheaper

[arcanum]

hmm, might as well check it out, how about any online stores that have wide range of FP(obviously not the official website )

[Pandemonium]

i remember in the city fred perry was stocked at DJ, so might wanna check there.

[DJI]

dunno dude, not really my thing. just do a search of supershopper, there are a few lists of webstores on there.

Hey D! he sent me some denim to repair a hole in my jeans and he is a nice fellow + aus

[DJI]

lol, he should be repmutha by now if he is sending people free denim. I'll +rep him again if I remember to.

[jcotteri]

fuck i have 9.907834101% of my posts in this threak..

[Pandemonium]

who's this sending free denim?

why you breaking your jeans anyway. so fragile.

[jcotteri]

laishin, just some scraps for a repair.. +rep him mayne!

yeh i sag my jeans too much. I even sized up one so it wouldn't happen. I think the black imperial denim is weaker than the blue..

[Pandemonium]

ok will do.

speaking of imperials, do you guys think that the embroidery is gaudy as fuck?

even though it's based in australia, i never really had the intention to buy them cause of that.

i've always had the opinion that embroidery is too hard to remove.

[jcotteri]

maybe the yellow acurates are a little stand-outy...

but the black on my black is fine...

i like some plain jeans like skulls because you can dress them up or down.. But yeh i do see what you mean with the gold thread..

looks a little street no matter what you dress them with..

i roll my dukes up and wear them with plain tees and summer shoes and thongs (yes i still wear things and will never stop)..

[jcotteri]

thanks all for repping. I really don't think that the rep system means shit all in real life but it is kind of a cool thing in apposed to giving someone a pat on the back..rep saying thanks is kinda nice..

what do you all think about the rep system..

god i better head off now.. i gotta know this Simon Conway Morris vs Stephen Jay Gould argument off by heart by tomorrow morning..

[DJI]

hmm, the stitching on the imperials never really bothered me in the past but come to think of it the yellow/orange backpocket stitching is pretty gaudy. my main problem with them was the high rise, doesn't really work for someone that is my height.

I still wear my broken in skulls sometimes, although the fit was never as slim as people on here claimed. got my APC new cures for raw jeans now , got over the whole premium denim thing a while ago and just wanted something that fit well and was decent quality.

I think the rep system is a nice way to complement someone or give someone a personal message without the formality of sending them a pm. best of luck with the speech/presentation tomorrow j

does anyone know a place where I can have an arm strap for a trenchcoat made? any tailors you can recommend to do it? it is made of a rayon/cotton/stainless steel blend but I could always have two identical ones made of a similar looking material.

[arcanum]

guys, where can i find apc denim ? i think cactus jam dont stock them anymore. and i heard that apc store opening in hawthorn, is that true ?

[DJI]

mate, you have to start using the search function. cactus jam hasn't stocked APC jeans for a few season now and even when they did the mark up was fucking intense. just buy them online from denim bar, quote style4um for a 20% discount.

[arcanum]

well i know about buying them off online stores, however i would like to try them before i buy online, because last time i gambled by buying a pair of jeans online without trying them first, and the ended up being too big..

[DJI]

yes but if you search this thread for APC you will notice that it has already been discussed a few times. unless you're willing to fly up to sydney to try them on at incu you'll just have to work out your size from the advice in the official APC thread in superdenim, worst comes to worst you can always sell them on supermarket without making too much of a loss.

[seksu!]

has anyone seen the aa shiny backpack in store?

considering buyin it if its durable enough for school books and such

if its not, ill prob just grab the canvas one

[Pandemonium]

[Pandemonium]

well i suppose it wasn't good enough then.

i'm watching the forbiddin kingdom atm.

[jcotteri]

i know that..hmmm

[Pandemonium]

know what? lol

[jcotteri]

forbidden kingdom... is it a good comedy?

i don't think i would like it

i never watch movies anymore.. just listen to music.. i could watch a movie right now

oyasumi nasai

[DJI]

it's been a while since I've really watched any movies either unfortunately...

does anyone know a place where I can have an arm strap for a trenchcoat made? any tailors you can recommend to do it? it is made of a rayon/cotton/stainless steel blend but I could always have two identical ones made of a similar looking material.

any ideas on where I can get the cuff strap made up or where I can buy the goth ninja fabric to make it out of?

[DJI]

thanks for the advice tyro. that place on the flinders end of elizabeth (cleg's?) is a fabric store right? I might try there after I get the trench.

[jcotteri]

^boredom for me..

[Pandemonium]

shit. I still try to go the movies once every few weeks, depending whats on. Will watch at least one rental a week also. There's never anything actually on tv, so I either dl shows or watch movies.

...and what's with the japanese being spoken in this thread?

i think he knows that i speak japanese to an intermediate level.
