^ try telling that to people who are willing to pay more than retail for "grail" slimane pieces, hell even the fw06 _7 ram rider sells for more than retail on Y.

Edit: lol, what nick said

fuck, I wish I was as much a fan of brevity as you were Damien.

I mean, uh...

I'm long winded and you're to the point.

[DJI]

^ posting on my phone atm so its far too much effort to post long messges lol.

[fenrost]

ah that make sense then, the slimanes never come to my mind, not quite a follower of his work.

you are right, it's about the idea and "artist" themselves. and if the cult still alive -given there's an opportunity for that, I don't see why not? : \

[fenrost]

how much did paparik's jut went for?

i am curious of the rider fw06, tried googling for pics and it aren't helping haha.

still the best Julius leather ever imo, the FW09 jut is a very close second however and one that actually fits me well.

[notsicknorwell]

^ I didn't have the funds when Castor was selling his sz 2 in early April >.<

well that and it's the same design as the jut >.>

[DJI]

if they reissued it in washed shrink-wrapped leather I'd cop in a heartbeat, that zipper config is still my favourite _7 leather jacket design. that said the original would still be the best, the leather on that is seriously like nothing else...

[Ivans On High]

And damn A you put those sneaks up fast, something on your kop list pop up? Haha.

and, adam, i thought you loved the trainers because they look like boot? and now you're selling them because they look like boot?

I'm not selling because they look like boots, they just don't look enough like boots for me to wear them instead, if you know what I mean. I don't think they would get that much wear. And I realised last night what was bugging me about the sneakers - it's the silver eyelets. I'll talk to my cobbler and see if they can be replaced with black ones. They look too 'motorcycle' with the silver zip, eyelets, and lace ends (whatever you call those things).

With that being said, the MA+ accordian is calling my name. The size 9 spiral zips are gone from Lazzari, so Sam better have copped those or I'll be pissed hahaha.

I've had a firm offer for the sneakers, so we'll see. Just another experiment in style. Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that crap.

[fenrost]

oh. i always have this impression of it as moto.

and. imo.. still prefer the "margiela" ones a : \

and for jut AW10, so far fit pic sucked ass - tactile experience afterall, need right person to wear it good : \

how about this with clasp?

XXXXXXX

[Ivans On High]

Thanks Rob, I'll keep an eye on that. Can you remove the link?

[fenrost]

yeah, sure, maybe you want to remove the link from the quote too heh

anyway, yeah, have u sold your ann d sneaks? if i were you, i woulda get a boots instead

[RaymondChiu]

ah found it n/m

[kuugaia]

Aglets I'm pretty sure is the name. Read it in an Archie Pals and Gals comic a long time ago and the name just stuck haha.

[Ivans On High]

i did some ghetto photochop to change the eyelets to black. Better I think. What do you reckon? Am I clutching at straws?

[notsicknorwell]

they look even more like boots now adam. if you aren't losing money on their resale get rid of them and use the money on something you'll embrace more imo.

[DJI]

RO sneakers look like your RO crepe soled boots, sell and buy more boots.

[home]

dude, you're obviously not content. sell on and be free.

[Ivans On High]

I'm waiting on an email response from Florence at the RO London store to see what they have in stock re a few leathers and some boots. If she responds tonight, I'll make up my mind. There's nothing I really want at the moment that doesn't cost $2k+ so the $670 from the sale of these really doesn't make a dent...

p.s. I like that they look like boots lol.

[DJI]

eh sell now sell later, either way you're gonna end up selling these on. just a matter of how much $$$ you get for them...

[notsicknorwell]

easier to sell now while the aud is still weak, hopefully it's worth more when you're going to use the $670.

[fenrost]

I've decided on the moto-collar intarsia - just missed minomni's one on ebay from 08. I also just missed one of the SS version on LVR with the 30% discount! So not having any luck. There is a drkshdw one on the bay, but I'd rather lock in a black on first. If you have any leads, let me know.

i not sure this is something that may interest you, adam, but anyway

also, if anyone interested, lift's website just revamped. worth to check out.

http://www.lift-net.co.jp/

[Ivans On High]

^ yeah that is the drkshdw one I was talking about. Looks pretty nice.

[DJI]

need black first...

new lift website is a lot better. one thing though, lift position isn't listed anymore. anyone know if they've closed the store or something?

[fenrost]

they are still operating at least few days ago - they showing kva's collection there

http://lift-blog.blogspot.com/2010/05/blog-post.html

[DJI]

ah k, strange that they don't list it on their official website anymore though. do you know if the showroom is open to the public or by appointment only?

[fenrost]

i assume it's public, since invitation was done via blog without any booking info.

pricing..

- ccp dropcrotch pants, aud 140? missing another digit i suspect.

- ccp seamless boots, aud 3k.. hmmmmm

[DJI]

where are you getting the pricing from Rob, can't see anything listed on their website. yeah japanese prices for european designer goods = rape, still some people buy it because its the only place that has the size they need or they're the type of person that instacops as soon as they've tried a piece they really like. shopping in japan is dangerous...

calf leather on the high collar intarsia next season looks quite nice...

[wept]

that does look quite nice D. i think im gonna hunt for the ss10 high collar intarsia when my bank funds are higher. there is on on ebay right now in an XS. the measurements fit but i think he was generous when measuring.
