Well this is shit. Had my wisdoms out this morning. Look like a chipmunk :/

[Raw Selvedge]

I just want quality on par with money spent.

I went to mamasita on Monday night, which was awesome, right up my alley. Movida Aqui was pretty shit, I don't know why they would open up such a big, ugly space and keep the prices the same. Really dilutes the brand.

Mamasitas is definately one of my fave restaurants. Need to go back many times to try all their dishes.

Yippieee. Damir shirt arrived. Finally a nice and perfect fitting shirt None of my other shirts fit that well. Like the length, too...

Only issue I have are the raw seams. Some seams have become loose, already. I just cut them off but I am worried the whole hem might sever!? Any experience?

Plus, the tag says it isn't washable at all - WTF?

Btw, kuugaia - detailed drop crotch pics on SZG look great. Good job!

[kuugaia]

^ Cheers man, appreciate it. I actually made a few adjustments to it...but maybe not very noticeable.

I just realized I forgot to post the scarves I was asking help about before. Well here they are:

The DIY for the scarves are also posted along with the drop crotch pants.

And lol at the fraying hems. Just don't think about them too much, although I have considered sewing the ends down before..

oh dude! i had mine out a couple of months back it sucks for a couple of days, but just make sure you smash the painkillers they give you and it will be a relaxing couple of days!

and gargle with salt water, like 10 times a day!

[eversuns]

Yeah taking a combo of ibuprofen paracetamol and pannadeine forte. Started salt water today. Going to take the ice off to vote

And kuugia those pants and scarfs look ace.

Can anyone recommend any places for cold noodles with chicken and sesame paste/sauce. Havn't been able to find many places in Melb with it, tried the one at Cafe Giraffe but it was disappointing, the only time I've had a really good one was in HK .

[eversuns]

Well I made my order for my custom Phuong and Seb belt, with my initials on the inscription.

Being sent out today, so hopefully should have it by the end of the week, I will post up my thoughts if anyone wants them.

[nlim3482]

cool, look forward to hearing your impressions. I wonder if its comparable to tanner goods?

[conqueror]

haha, mine was posted today too. i was going to get my initials inscribed but opted out at the last minute. getting a chocolate leather belt, nickel buckle, curved end, 32" (i wear 30" in denim).

[eversuns]

hurts the resale with the initials haha

I ended up going for a natural belt, post your impressions when you get it

[034936]

yeah definitely post some pictures when they arrive.

[Ivans On High]

[kuugaia]

Damn you tiny bastards. I need this in a size 3.

[Daaave]

Slightly closer to home, I believe Dilettante were trying to set up an online store with V-A but I have no idea what the current situation with that is.

[Ivans On High]

Judging by the American store markups, it will probably work out cheaper to order from japan.

Also, whoever recommended Seamstress, well done. Quality food and great night out. Proper brownie points.

One of the big ugly red couches, in the cinema room came from my house. I may have even met you before? I've been to a few parties there.

Anyway should be a good party, pity it's not going to be a wrecking ball like everyone was hoping.

Yeah we probably have, its been like my second home for the last 18 months....very very small world

Bout to book flights for first week of Aus open tennis '11!

[conqueror]

only one picture, my camera died afterwards so i'll take some more (better) ones later if people want.

it is alot skinnier/more narrow (pretty much the same as the tanner skinny belt) than i thought/wanted which is a bummer, but it seems to be to made well. i wear tighter jeans (claude maus) so maybe it won't look too strange. phuong is a really nice dude, too - very helpful and super fast. i think it only took 2 days to make.

top is a belt i have been wearing for the last 3yrs or so, got it from a cobbler in adelaide for about $40. had to be replaced because its too long and some of the stitching is coming undone. phuong & seb belt co on the bottom, $75. shows the width difference.

[nlim3482]

yeah I was under the impression that they would be nearly as wide as the Tanner belts. Looks good otherwise.

Do you think they would work with some APCs?

[conqueror]

if they are on the tighter/slimmer side (i'm pretty sure most of them are - petit's, cure etc?), definitely. i think it would look ridiculous with a pair of iron heart's or something though haha.

[home]

speaking of jeans..

the new qlo t000s aint doing it for me. fabric is thin and the knees are blowing out.

what are my options in a similar cut (slim but not skinny), black. none of this cheap monday / dr.denim shit. i'd go claude maus but they haven't had stock of slim (not skinny) black jeans in months and months.

[nlim3482]

Ervell jeans fit slim and have a nice taper to them. Otherwise a pair of Acnes?
