[Ivans On High]

My list looks like this:

- Long coat (length of the OV looks spot on)

- Tanks with scalloped hems, black and dust

- Drkshdw detroits in waxed black or dust (or both)

- One of Mike Lowery's oxidised signet rings

- Linen type material blazer/jacket

- Long-ish linen type dress shirts (DD style)

- Drop crotch leggings/sweats (CM me thinks)

- Grenson or Loake dress shoes

[DJI]

I do like the rings that mike makes, hope he's able to order some smaller ones in...

My list keeps changing. At the moment all i can think of:

-An array of really well fitting button ups

-dress pants (something interesting and slim)

-dress shoes

-grey denim

-some sort of fucking COAT!!

-lame basics (never ending quest concept)

[Ivans On High]

0, PM'd about sweats.

Also, I try not to include work clothes in my list, but I am forever on the look out for well fitting button ups. I usually end up buying ones with the fabric I like and just have them tailored. Teamed with Saint Augustine pants, which are nice and slim (not really interesting, but get their fair share of passer-by man love).

[DJI]

thing is even after you find some lame basics you really like you'll still want to cop more, even if they are really similar...

[034936]

Hmm i think i tried on the st augustine pants the other week. From memory they were verrryyy nice.

Just took a button up to the tailor to have slimmed down. Not entirely sure if he understood just how slim i wanted it. Time to find an ultra progressive, no-questions-asked tailor.

sometimes i wish i had never found sufu and could just rock some target jacket

OV stuff i priced quite competitively. I would GUESS around 7-800 USD?? feel free to correct

Around 1450 AUD

Approx

My list is simple is pretty simple really:

- Winter Coat.

- Drop crotch sweats

- Drkshdw Berlins in black or Dark Shadow

- lame basics (of course)

I am pretty set right now really, happy with all my shoes which is good.

[Ivans On High]

Flock, excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference between the Detroit and Berlin cut?

[DJI]

berlin are a carrot leg cut, where as detroit is a slim straight no? keep in mind that no drkshdw jeans are really skinny at all, not even the womens stretch pair I sold.

[melvin7]

my need list:

- lame basics

- black CM jeans

my want list:

- DJI's CM parka

... that's a pretty short list. and im okay with that.

[DJI]

one of you guys is going to have to upgrade the coat from a want to a need, weather is going to get colder and wetter soon enough

[fenrost]

hah.. my list is quite similar to everyone's

coat, lame basics. etc. but then, i practically need to revamp my whole wardrobe. i guess 1 step at a time.

[melvin7]

[sev3n]

I got an amazing grey pair of saint augustine academy dress pants on ebay. Extremely slim fitting and nice soft material (cotton/rayon/silk blend) if i remember correctly. Only thing that puts me off a little is the side pockets flare out a little, h8 this, but it seems to happen with most of my dress pants for some reason.

I dont really ave a 2cop list tbh, wants and needs come and go week by week. Like to keep my options open hah....

[DJI]

those saa pants hand washable or dry clean only 50? I'm too lazy to haul shit back and forth to the dry cleaner every week, hence why I have cheap and machine washable uniqlo slim slacks haha.

I try to plan my purchases in advance so I don't end up copping stuff I have to resell .

Flock, excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference between the Detroit and Berlin cut?

berlin are a carrot leg cut, where as detroit is a slim straight no? keep in mind that no drkshdw jeans are really skinny at all, not even the womens stretch pair I sold.

Yep D is right. I actually think really skinny jeans look bad with RO trainers and as that is what i am wearing almost all the time these days, i like the look looser fit of the berlin's with them.

Yo D, whats Lui Hon Quality like? Is it made in AUS?

Ive been following him for a while, we speak on face book occasionally as well. Really nice guy.

that reminds me, I really should add some of you guys on FB

[DJI]

the pieces I've handled are extremely nice, most of it is made from a very soft merino wool. didn't have a chance to handle any of the leather pieces as they sold through so quickly, however the leather cowl neck top that lui was wearing when I saw him at assin a few weeks back looked incredible. all made in Australia, and yeah Lui is a really nice guy .

[50_lions]

Good question D, i'm not at home to ceck but will when I return tomoz. Another pos thing about them is they're extra long and tuck into my boots perfectly. The same doesn't apply with my Filippa K black slacks they're much shorter and continually come out (awkward/annoying) but work well with regular shoes and hopefully perfectly wit me new ceepee officer boots :-). I tend to wear them a fair few times before washing.... think last time I just threw them in the machine on delicates haha... only cost me $60 so epic get for that price.

Speaking of purchases I guess you could put this on my to cop/rail list:

[btbam]

i have to head to Melbourne, might go before paris, if i go for SS2010. Iff :\

[btbam]

hey that photo was taken over my shoulder 50 !

[DJI]

yeah that entire look is great 50, would set you back ~250K yen though...

[btbam]

Worth every cent, the collection was mind blowing.

[DJI]

still itching to see item shots, none of the Japanese sites have posted any yet...

[50_lions]

bt, v jealous! I enjoyed watching that show on the internet (fail) it had an amazing energy to it...

250k yen. fuck. Seriously though, it's the one look that I have been this much in awe over, ever. Think about it toooooo often.

[btbam]

Seriously amazing DJI, start saving pennies ive always been a fan of his work, but this collection took it to the next level. Just make sure you get it through a proxy or EM

[ajax]

that suit is sharp.. would have to wear it with those boots tho
