Agree about Julius... only thing I don't get is the random pockets and pointless intricacies on some pants and jackets but all in all the work is amazing. I have a feeling i'd be all down if I tried the pieces on... afterwards wanting to buy everything etc.

Goth ninja is few and far between in Melbs I Iiterally never see anyone rocking it.

[fenrost]

^ i will never get it as well especially those shredded knits..

[jcotteri]

haha, I think John practically lived in the jacket even though it was too tight for him, hence why the lining is in shreds.

can't wait for the obscur leather, gotta wait till early August for my MA leather too : /

uploaded julius FW09.10 item shots for anyone that's interested.

thanks D! Unfortunately my internet got capped yesterday? Annoying so i will have to check next week ;( How did you get the album to look like that?

[50_lions]

Yes on the runway I thought those knits looked truly amazing, but I feel anything shredded on the streets looks ultra tacky and from an outsiders perspective, quite laughable.

I get the concept but I think it lacks that sophisticated macabre look that should always try to be achieved with such clothing. Hope someone one day proves me wrong but I guess in the end it is always how someone wears it not the actual garment.

[DJI]

no worries man . it's an automatic feature of photobucket now, looks pretty slick imo. there's still a couple of item shots that weren't available when I uploaded these, not sure what pieces they are yet though.

so far I'm not likely to cop many pieces, possibly another long hoodie, the decayed stole and the ring necklace. the lamb nubuck leather jacket might suit you J if you're still looking for something clean and simple.

[btbam]

id sport the knits pretty hard, as amazing as the collection is, the blood red scarf is the one thing i saw and said "I must have that."

[wept]

it is a damb nice red bt.

i might start saving for the new jut as i like its zipper config more. i dont wish to pay full retail though

[melvin7]

that long hoodie looks very nice. how much are they going for D? might have to cop

[DJI]

I'm sure a few will turn up on Y wept, not sure how much lower than retail they'll go for though. I do like the classic Julius zipper config but the way it flares in the middle when worn still puts me off, don't want to pay $2K+ to have an artificial beer belly haha.

mel the long hoodie in waxed cotton is 44,100 yen. if you're feeling baller there is the lamb nubuck version for 131,250 yen, and the nubuck with fur for 152,250 yen haha.

[melvin7]

haha naw i think leather on those hoodies would be a lil too much for me. 44,100 yen is not a bad price. might put it down as my next purchase.

argh my gf just checked DJs QLD for the JL basics in red.. sold out in size small as well =(

[DJI]

haha, a few years back I would have thought spending that much on a hoodie was nuts, now I'm thinking about picking up a 3rd one .

mel let me know if you want me to pick one up for you here, the JL store in elizabeth st had heaps when I dropped by last.

[melvin7]

no shit man. sufu changed me.

truly appreciate the offer damien but my mum gave me bunch of DJ gift cards so i just want to use them up

[DJI]

haha, true that. sufu changed me, SZ raised the bar .

no worries man, did you ask DJ's to check other stores for stock? they can always get that shit transferred.

[melvin7]

... why didnt i think of that. esp when i used to work for myer lulz.

Only selected DJs carry JL, one in syd and one in bris so i guess ill get them to check up the melb stores

[jcotteri]

imo those yurius hoodies fit larger than most.. i fit perfectly into size 2

[DJI]

yeah you can easily size down 1 for most of their hoodies, cardis and jersey lame basics, although they do look fine worn slightly oversized too.

[fenrost]

is anyone in here an ambassador for oki-ni? feeling to kop some stuff..

[DJI]

Ian sent me an invite to that a month ago but it's still pending : /

[Flock]

i am, pm me. If anyone else wants to get some stuff too just let me know, i can't have it shipped directly to you though. 40% discount on everything.

[fenrost]

ah..

Ian sent me an invite to that a month ago but it's still pending : /

hope you get it.

i am, pm me. If anyone else wants to get some stuff too just let me know, i can't have it shipped directly to you though. 40% discount on everything.

cool. will pm you soon.

[Flock]

Ian sent me an invite to that a month ago but it's still pending : /

When i applied they said Australian spots were full, i contacted the guy running it directly though and let him know how great i would be as an ambassador and he approved me.

[DJI]

haha, nice move . I'm not too bothered either way, their buys are less than inspired and they don't stock XS/44 anymore .

[fenrost]

contemplating on the dd and ro basics

[DJI]

prices are very reasonable after the discount, make sure you size down on the DD and RO jersey basics though as they run big. also keep in mind that they are a lot sheerer than the photos would have you believe, definitely need to layer that shit.

[fenrost]

^ thanks for the heads up.

will head to assin tomorrow or after to check out the sizing for the ro basics, need to actually see myself physically in those stuff before purchase. cant justify myself to buy the tanks for 300+ in assin....

[btbam]

hrm so hows this ambassador thing work?

can you get anything for 40% off?

http://www.oki-ni.com/invt/ro0057drk for example this?

[melvin7]

woah thanks for the offer flock! might have to take you up on that

I've been thinking of getting that wallet by Porte Monnaie.. seems interesting. y/n? that fold out compartment is for your bills right? does anyone know how the quality of the leather is?

[fenrost]

@ bt

ya. ^ including that. from what i know is basically everything listed in the web. but.. not sure about any further reduction on their sale stuff.

[TTT]

wow 40% almost have to cop something for this reason.

bt or anyone else with moonboots able to tell me how sizing works? Theres a pair in the all black colour in a size 11UK. I generally wear size 12/46 in most brands and would say a 12US in Chucks fits me good and is slightly on the big side.

Might take up the offer flock if size works out.

I found (not literally) my grail piece. The m.a+ Wool/Linen Fitted Coat.
